"How YOU prepare in the present will predict how YOU perform in the future"

“Many college students who live on campus have unlimited access to food in the cafeteria, dorm, or Greek house. If you are frequently eating unlimited quantities of food (particularly junk food), this will likely increase your weight quite quickly. The “Freshmen 15,” despite the notion that it is due to alcohol use, is more often due to unhealthy eating habits. As we begin a month dedicated to wellness and getting fit, think about portion sizes when you go through the cafeteria line. Try to drink 4 large glasses of water a day. Drinking water has many benefits including boosting concentration and help keep you from overeating.”
