4) Meal Replacement
When all the food inside the dining hall starts to taste the same, an alternative is substituting three PowerBars for an actual meal. Beware: dietary books warn against excessive snacking for a reason. Those three PowerBars probably contain more fat and calories than anything you would get from the dining hall—not to mention the fact that they often aren't very satisfying and can result in late night real food binges.
5) Alcohol
For most students, complete liquid abstinence might be impossible. Moderation may even be pushing the envelope. Everyone knows those health center statistics claiming the average student socially consumes 1 to 3 drinks were taken from skewed sources.
But as any Michelob-Ultra-sipping sorority girl will tell you, one non-light beer contains approximately 200 calories. Multiply that by ten, and you have the number of calories you are supposed to consume in one day. Rarely is the night complete after drinking, as the social scene continues at late-night pizzerias and diners with all their greasy splendor.
Although the average college student’s diet will promote binge drinking, substituting alcohol for food can be detrimental to even a daily routine. The incurring spare tire and liver damage would also offset any plan for weight loss. Don’t follow this path.
