The freshman 15

Some of my college kids are starting to come home for the weekend, and we have talked about their weight, and how to keep it at a reasonable level. 

YOU CAN'T OUT EXERCISE YOU DIET!  DID YOU HEAR ME?

This is an undeniable fact, hands down.  Every year we see it, kids, athletes leave for college, keep the same exercise schedule that they did in high school sports (that gets more intensive when they get to their scholarship school) and still gain weight.  The only factor that changes is that their mother is no longer feeding them in college.

Read earlier posts on this blog about diet and nutrition.  Keep the late night food to a minimum, error on the side of fruit or a lean sandwich instead of a slice of pizza, keep your lean protein levels up, and stay hydrated.
