Weight loss pills are bad,
man...but that's just my opinion.
I was in college just last year...I could give you some suggestions on what
to eat as a college student so not to gain as much weight.
1. Fruit - The college student's best friend. It's
already 'prepared' and can go wherever you do. I was so lazy in college that I'd buy anything that I could just
grab and go with.
2. Cereal/Nutri-grain bar - Why these? Always eat breakfast. It gets your metabolism
going so you can burn more calories. You could do the same with fruit, but the bars have 25% of a bunch of vitamins
and stuff...good for your brain when you have that 8 am class...
3. Only drink water (juice/milk also good) -
You'll be consuming thousands of calories when you go to the bars/frats/parties and chug a few beers. Drink lots
of water. It makes you feel less hungry (natural appetite suppressant), keeps you hydrated for those
dehydration fests, and has 0 calories. If you cut out all of the crap from soft drinks and coffee (I think
people forget how bad coffee is or at least ignore it because it has caffeine...I recommend getting at least
7 hours of sleep and switching from coffee to water...you'll feel better in about 2 weeks), you'll be that much
healthier. Plus, it's the best preventative measure for the hangover! After all, a hangover is just dehydration
and rehydration of the brain.
4. Chips and salsa - replace your worst fattening junk food (chips and dip, whatever)
with chips and salsa. Still have some munchies, just consuming less bad stuff. Salsa is much healthier than french
onion dip.
5. Make your own food as much as possible - unless you're going out with friends (friends = excuse to
go out), try to make your own food. You'll save money and know what you're consuming so you can eat
healthier/less if you want.
I could go on indefinitely, but I'm just trying to deter people from pills. *Jack
Nicholson impression* I hate pills. I'm using the word hate about pills.
Seriously, though,
pills are for people with severe problems, and even then, your mind is much stronger than any pill could ever be.
It's called hard work, willpower, and all of that good stuff.
Okay, enough preaching.
