Oh No... I Gained the Freshman 15! Now What?

You get home for spring break, weigh yourself and oh no... you have put on 15 pounds! How can you lose it at school when the choices are so crappy?
College food seems to be all pizza, burgers, and lots of snacks and junk food. It's easy to get used to this way of eating, especially when all your newly-made friends are doing it to.

But then you go home for spring break, weigh yourself and oh nooooo... you have put on 15 pounds! How can you lose it at school when the choices are so crappy?

Now is when the real hard work begins. You have to choose the right foods at the cafeteria and learn to buy and make your own diet foods.

Dieting at college is the worst, yes. But so is being heavy. You can get the weight off... and look in the mirror and be happy with what you see. 

It's not as hard as you think.

Join special guest, Dr.Felicia Stoler, as she shares the best ways to lose the dreaded college weight, despite the temptations all around you.
