There are psychological,social and practical reasons why college freshmen are likely to gain weight.
Changing from one environment to another can be difficult.They meet a whole new set of peers after leaving home.And many students tend to turn to food for stress relief.
Food is also used to socialize.Pizza parties and other foodoriented activities are easy ways to develop a sense of community among students.Unfortunately,this type of social eating is usually done in addition to meals,which can add to additional weight rather quickly.
Another important factor is that freshmen usually eat in the cafeteria on campus.Meal plans typically offer unlimited buffetstyle food,including desserts.This is a stress test for binge(大吃大喝)eating.
If you do gain weight,don't be afraid.Take a look at your eating and exercise habits and make necessary adjustments.In a study in which freshmen gained 4 pounds in 12 weeks,the students were only eating an average of 174 extra calories each day.So cutting out one can of soda or a midnight snack every day and being more active will help you get back on track.
It may be attractive to try some easy solution,like skipping meals.But these approaches don't work to keep weight off in the long run.It's best to make small adjustments to your diet that you know you can stick with.
