Staying fit and healthy as a college student isn’t always the easiest thing to do. Most college students aren’t allowed to cook in their dorms, which forces them to eat unhealthy, mass-processed food. Add to this the fact that there isn’t time or energy after classes to work out.
This article discusses three easy ways for students to lose weight, gain healthy weight, and stay fit while maintaining their current schedules. Remember, weight loss and gain work differently for everybody. Don’t expect to lose 30kg (or close to 66 pounds) in one month. But remember, the main goal is to remain healthy and mentally stable.
3. An Apple a Day Keeps the Doctor Away

We aren’t so sure about this saying. But it is important to try to eat at least three times a day and in healthy proportions. Vital ingredients in eating are fiber and fruits. A list of fiber foods includes potatoes and popcorn. You can also go for some fruit to munch on instead of unhealthy snacks.
By the way, it’s more expensive to eat unhealthy than it is to eat healthy, a fact nobody ever admits. Proteins are also very important in your dishes. Foods like eggs, meat, beans, and fish are very high in protein. They can substantially boost your metabolism. The fruits and fibers serve as both an appetite suppressant and as snackable for people who can’t help it.
Just imagine swapping unhealthy snacks for healthier, sweeter fruits like watermelons, pineapples, and apples. Yes, we know it takes time to get used to, but once you start eating more fruits and fiber, I promise there’s no going back. If you are lucky enough to be allowed to cook in your dorm rooms, you can make many fun foods and snacks with the ingredients.
2. Create a College Food Timetable

The most annoying part of weight loss and gain for certain people is creating a strict timetable to follow. We are here to tell you that it isn’t necessary for your timetable to be so strict. You can create a timetable that allows you will eat rice on a certain day. But this does not specify the rice type or the sides to accompany with.
An Important thing to note when creating the food timetable is that foods high in calories should be avoided, especially if you are trying to lose weight. Otherwise, it’s fine for weight gain, but take it in safe, measurable amounts.
1. Exercise to Lose Weight

Are you looking to lose a substantial amount of fat and weight faster? Don’t forget the importance of exercise. We also understand that sometimes you have time constraints. That is where walks come in. Walking a few minutes daily can really help with your weight loss goals.
Walking is one of the best cardio exercises you can do, and it doesn’t have to be the longest walk ever. You can walk to classes or back to your dorms. You could also take night walks to calm your nerves. Just put some music on, and you’re good to go.
It’s important to do everything in moderation. Even too much of a good thing can turn into a bad thing. Try these techniques and watch your life and mind become the healthiest they have ever been.
