College is one of the most difficult times of life to practice healthy eating. Because of your busy schedule, the amounts of stress, and pressure from friends to party, you may find that healthy eating is impossible. However, with a few tips you can make the impossible seem much more manageable. Healthy eating is possible in college as long as you are willing to work at it.
Make smart decisions when you are eating at your college’s cafeteria. Most students are provided with a variety of option every day, and although the dessert bar may be very tempting, try to limit the number of times you visit it every week. If your school has a buffet style cafeteria with many choices, try to choose one food from each of the food groups. Avoid anything that is processed, covered in cheese or dressing, and greasy.
Scheduling times to eat is also important. When you register for classes, look at the day with meals in mind. You should have enough time in the morning to get ready for the day and grab a quick meal, either in your dorm room or at the cafeteria. Around the middle of the day, make sure that you save time for lunch, and have a timeslot for dinner before 7 PM to avoid eating late at night. You should also plan times to stop for nutritious snacks, like fruit. If your professor does not mind, you can also take these snack foods with you to class. This is a good question to ask during the first day of classes.
The weekends can be very challenging for college students because of the pressure to go to parties, where the main food is usually pizza and the main beverage is usually beer. Order pizza and other foods can take an otherwise healthy diet and throw it down the tubes. If you plan to go out for the night and won’t be sure if there will be healthy food choices available, grab a light meal before you leave and avoid greasy calories. Having pizza and other such “college” foods, like wings or tacos, can be fine once in awhile, but if it becomes a weekly event, you’re looking at trouble
Of course, alcohol is also a great way to ruin a diet. Beer and mixed drinks have a lot of empty calories, and so skipping them altogether is a great idea. If you must drink, choose diet sodas for mixing your drinks, ask for red wine if it is available, or drink light beer. Again, these treat are fine once in awhile, because drinking alcohol every week will only make you pack on the pounds.

These are great.
Nice work! I’ll have to do a cross post on this one
Thanks a lot!! a very useful topic!!
I should begin by saying the title of my review means it was “life Changing” for me. I started this with a lot of skepticism. I’m a firm believer that diets don’t work unless you can continue your progress after the diet. I’ll cut to the chase. The program takes dicipline. Especially the first time. The salt water flush was the hardest for me to take. But, once I got through the ten days, I (literally) was a new person. I dropped 40lbs. I felt better mentally and physically than I’d felt in 8 years. I routinely do the cleanse twice a year (spring and fall). It keeps me lively and sharp mentally. I highly recommend it.
The author recommends going to a vegetarian diet after the cleanse. While I could never be a vegetarian, I did notice my craving for meat drastically decreased, and I’ve since gone to much more of a vegetarian dominant diet.
Lastly, I didn’t have a problem with hunger after the third day. It sounds weird, but my only craving was the physical act of placing a fork in my mouth. Hope this review helps.
Lose Weight, Have More Energy
