Thu, 7 Sep 2006 14:00:00 EST Diet and exercise: how not to eat like a freshman

The "freshman 15" turns out to be a myth: A study published this summer in the Journal of American College Health found the average weight gain among first-year students to be more like 3 to 7 pounds. But there's no denying that dorm dining can be a nutritional minefield. Pizza-fueled late-night study sessions, sprawling cafeteria buffets, the addition of beer to the diet, and emotion-driven food choices during a huge life change can quickly take a toll on your health. But the damage is avoidable, says Daphne Oz, a junior at Princeton University who arrived as a freshman determined to shed the extra pounds she carried in high school and is now 30 pounds lighter than she was as a teenager. She has published her tips in The Dorm Room Diet (Newmarket Press, $16.95).
