Article: Write a meal plan to help enforce healthy eating habits and avoid unhealthy behaviors. Consider making a plan that includes healthy eating, exercise, and time to rest and relax alone and with friends.  Your plan should include meals that meet all of your nutritional needs to sustain your health and well-being. For example, you need to make sure you’re getting enough protein, vitamins, and fiber through foods such as lean meats or nuts, and fruits and vegetables. Aim to eat foods that are either processed minimally or that require little cooking or changing their form. Make sure to allot time for physical activity, such as walking or jogging, for at least thirty minutes a day. You’ll also want to make sure to include time for rest and relaxation, such as reading a non-school book. These can help reinforce your healthy eating habits and contribute to your overall well-being.  Be aware of places or situations where you are more likely to “sin,” such as “doing lunch” with friends or simply just feeling bored. Actively try and avoid overeating or snacking mindlessly during these situations. You can distract yourself if that’s easier. Keep clean snacks such as apples or cut vegetables with you to help avoid derailing your healthy habits.  Consider allowing yourself one day to cheat and eat foods that aren’t a part of your clean plan. One day of conscious cheating may keep you from bad behaviors on other days. Planning your meals in advance can help you to avoid poor and unhealthy eating habits. It can also help ensure that you’re getting plenty of nutrients, not gaining weight, and may even save you money. For example, plan your breakfasts to help start off your day on the right foot. Packing a lunch can help you avoid buying unhealthy fast foods. If you have lunch plans, order the healthiest choice on the menu, such as salad that isn’t loaded with cheese or heavy dressing. No person is perfect and sometimes you crave unhealthy foods. Allow yourself occasional cheat days to enjoy junk food or foods you wouldn’t normally eat on your plan. You can do this with your friends for maximum enjoyment.  There is increasing evidence that allowing yourself to cheat occasionally and consciously will help you maintain your diet in the long run because you’re not denying yourself anything.  Never berate yourself or let mistakes or cheat days derail your overall healthy habits. Setbacks are normal. Eating out is a big part of college, and it can cause a major setback for many people’s otherwise healthy diets because of processed, high fat and calorie dishes. Consciously avoiding certain foods and making good choices at restaurants can help you reinforce your good eating habits.  Picking healthy choices when eating out often means being the 'odd-one-out' when dining with friends. That's okay! Don't fall into the peer pressure of eating unhealthy foods or large amounts of alcohol. Avoid unhealthy pitfalls like breadbaskets, fried foods, or dishes in heavy sauces such as fettucine alfredo. Salads or steamed vegetables and steaks are good choices of healthy foods. Avoid buffets, which are often filled with unhealthy and processed food choices and can encourage you to overeat.  Have whole fruits for dessert, which are healthy and clean. No matter how healthy you eat, the extra calories in alcohol can sabotage your diet. In addition, staying up partying and drinking may lead to unhealthy late-night snacking.  When you do drink, stay away from sugary cocktails or mixed drinks, as they are loaded with calories. Some cocktails exceed 600 calories!  Try and stick to wine spritzers or light beers. Don't wait until you can visibly see the weight on your body to start eating healthier.  Make things a little easier for yourself by keeping a scale on hand so that you can check in every once in a while.  Always weigh yourself at the same time every day to get the most accurate reading. Keeping track of your weight can also help you determine which eating habits are working for you and which ones aren't. If you lose weight one week, for example, think back on what things you ate and what kinds of exercises you did that week. Try to replicate the routine in the future. You may want to consider taking measurements as well, since muscle weighs more than fat. Plus, there may be confounding factors, like water weight, that influence the number on the scale. Aim to exercise most days of the week. Doing cardiovascular exercise can help you lose or maintain weight and stay healthy. Plan your workouts right before or right after classes so that you know your day isn't done until you've completed everything you need to.  Aim to walk 10,000 steps a day, which translates to walking about 5 miles (or 8km) per day. Wearing a pedometer can help you make sure you’re taking enough steps per day. You can do any type of cardio training to maintain your health. Beyond walking, consider running, swimming, rowing, or biking. In addition to cardiovascular exercise, strength training can help you lose or maintain weight. It builds calorie-burning muscle while promoting your overall health. If you’re not getting enough rest, your brain and body won’t be able to function at their best. By making sure you sleep, take breaks from studying, you may be able to maintain or lose weight.  Recent studies have shows that rest is an important part of maintaining a healthy weight and reducing stress.  Aim to sleep 7-8 hours per night.  Take off at least one full day a week to give your brain and body a chance to rest and recover from studying. You could do this on your eating “cheat day.”
