7 Smart College Weight Loss Rules
If you find it very difficult to lose weight while in college, I can totally relate. When I was in college it was easier to grab some take aways when I was short on time and not to mention what exam stress did to my waistline. That’s why I have constructed a set of rules that made it easier for me to lose weight. Here they are:
Pack your own lunch
Control what you eat by packing your own lunch. That way you will avoid the unhealthy foods of the college cafeteria and take aways.
Watch your drinks
Make sure that you don’t drink too much – alcohol contains lots of empty calories that go sit on your waist and don’t fill you up at all. Stick to diet drinks and don’t have more than 3 drinks per night.
Prepare lots of healthy meals in the weekends
Prepare healthy meals in the weekend and freeze to use for dinners the next night. That way you will have a healthy waistline friendly dinner for the week, no matter how busy you are.
Snack smart
It is very easy to reach for unhealthy snacks when you are stressed or busy. Employ a smart snacking strategy by only snacking in healthy snacks like fruit, nuts, veggie sticks, fat free yogurt and raisins.
Make time for regular exercise
Book regular time out of your diary for exercise and see those appointments just like any appointment that you can’t miss. Make sure that you do the best exercises to lose weight and that you don’t waste your time.
Limit the fast food and treats
Include a cheat meal once or twice a month where you can have what you want and limit fast food and treats to that meal only.
Control your cravings
Control your appetite and your cravings with the help of some nutritional products – just read the precautions first.
If you implement these weight loss rules for college you will ensure that you don’t pick up weight and if you follow them together with a healthy diet and a regular exercise plan, you will start losing weight.
