Freshman 15

Question
Hi, I'm a 19-year-old female and I weigh 119 lbs. I used to weigh 112 lbs but I gained weight during the first 2 quarters of college. I eat about 1200 calories/day but it doesn't seem to be helping; if anything, I've gained more weight. Please give me some advice about what kind of exercise I should be doing/how much of it, and what I should eat. I eat relatively little calories but I'm usually still hungry. And I have no idea how long I should exercise or what type of exercise I should do. Thanks!

Answer
Try to get an hour of exercise a day, including both cardio and weight training.

You've only put on 7 pounds, so I wouldn't worry TOO much about it. Just take your time, add some exercise to your routine, and you should be OK.

Do NOT starve yourself. It's always better to BURN off fat than to STARVE off fat. Eat 3 or 4 healthy meals a day. See my web site for guidelines.
