The College Student’s Guide for EASY WEIGHT LOSS!

Whoever told you that weight loss was difficult never read this
article!

Weight loss is a hot topic among college students today,
especially considering the fact that most college freshmen gain
half a pound every week! Since the schedule of college students
is almost always hectic, weight loss efforts are not a priority.
With so little extra time it is impractical to join the latest
diet fad or commit to sweating in the gym for hours at a time.
Are all college students destined to grow outward with each
passing year, or is there a simple way for them to reclaim a
healthy figure? If you struggle with your own battle of the
bulge, read on for five sure-fire ways to drop a few of those
unwanted pounds, and more importantly learn how you can prevent
packing them in the first place!

TIP #1: Burn it in the AM What is the first thing you do when
you wake each morning? Hit the snooze button for an extra ten
minutes of sleep? What if I told you that taking those ten
minutes to strap on your sneakers and walk briskly around campus
would result in weight loss? It has been proven that aerobic
activity done on an empty stomach forces your body to recruit
energy from storage. This energy is stored in the form of fat on
various parts of your body. Starting tomorrow take ten minutes
out of your morning to walk briskly before breakfast. Do not
sprint or try to walk as quickly as possible, simply walk at a
pace that you could comfortably hold a conversation. This
seemingly small activity, when done consistently, will produce
surprising weight loss results!

TIP #2 Forget Your Late Night Snack I know I am not the only one
who enjoys eating a snack after dinner! Although comfort food
seems to taste better right before bed, it is also more prone to
stick with us when eaten late at night. It has been proven that
not eating three hours before bed reduces fat storage throughout
the night. If you go to bed at 10pm, finish eating for the day
no later than 7pm. Once you have made this a habit you will be
ecstatic over the long-term weight loss!

TIP #3 Kiss that Frappuccino Goodbye What tastes better than a
frothy, venti frappuccino smothered in whip cream and chocolate
syrup? While blended coffee beverages have rapidly gained
popularity with college students, their caloric tallies have
been all but ignored. Whether you are an avid Starbucker, or
only wander in for an occasional treat, it is important to know
the truth about what you are drinking. The average Venti sized
frappuccino weighs in at 530 calories. This staggering number
equals 2.5 bagels, or one third of the recommended daily
calories for an average woman. Not only is this an extreme
amount of calories to be consumed in a beverage but the calories
come purely from sugar, which is easily stored as fat. Next time
you are in line at the coffee shop and find yourself eyeing a
sugary beverage, redirect your attention to the tea selection,
or stick with an old fashioned cup of coffee.

TIP #4 Fuel Your Fire Have you ever tended a campfire? You
probably remember continuously adding sticks and branches to
keep the fire from running out of fuel. Your body’s metabolism
is similar in its need for constant fuel. Eating a small meal
every three hours is a great way to keep your metabolism high
all day long. When your metabolism is high you burn more
calories throughout the day and are less likely to store fat.
Rather than eating 2 or 3 large meals a day, and allowing your
‘fire’ to go out, giving way to hunger pains, try eating a small
meal every three hours and be amazed at your weight loss
results.

TIP #5 Curb Your Carbs I’m sure sometime in the past year you
have found yourself subjected to the testimony of a converted
‘low-carb’ enthusiast. While these people may look great it is
definitely not the right diet for everyone. Extreme fatigue,
crankiness and downright impracticality are what make this diet
a tough cookie to swallow. Cutting one or two carb-filled items
out of your daily diet can make a huge difference in meeting
weight loss goals. While I wouldn’t recommend throwing out your
breadbasket entirely, consciously cutting carb-filled items out
of your daily food intake is a great idea. If you normally have
a sandwich for lunch make it open-faced, thus cutting out half
of the bread. If you enjoy eating pasta for dinner reduce your
pasta portion and add extra vegetables. These minor changes to
your daily diet will prove themselves priceless when you step
onto the scale!

It is you against the bulge, and now that you are armed with
these 5 tips for easy weight loss, I am confident that you are
going to win! Keep in mind that consistency is the key. The more
effort that you put into implementing these 5 tips into your
daily lifestyle the quicker the unwanted pounds will disappear!
