Book Reviews of The Smart Student's Guide to Healthy Living: How to Survive Stress, Late Nights, and the College Cafeteria

Book Review: Great gift for college freshmen and their parents
Summary: 5 Stars

Using the "A,B and C" lists to help choose foods is an easy way for the college aged set to- find foods they like that are lower in calories but rich in a variety of nutrients. The authors sort thru topics by using stories of college students they interviewed. You feel like you know every one of them--and can identify with their questions and concerns. The Registered Dietitian expertise lends an authority to discussions of disordered eating, exercise and weight management strategies. You may be like me and read it in one setting. Non-fiction that is hard to put down!

Summary of The Smart Student's Guide to Healthy Living: How to Survive Stress, Late Nights, and the College Cafeteria

Fight the Freshman Fifteen, Sleepless Nights, and Other Pitfalls of College Life

Welcome to college life. It's full of possibilities-and pitfalls. Cafeteria food is awful, but there sure is a lot of it. And you can eat as much (or more) of anything-and everything-as you want. And in a single year of study, you can grow a gut that will haunt you for the rest of your life. No one in the dorm is going to tell you when to go to bed, and you can wear each all-night cram session like a badge of honor. But on two hours of sleep a night, the circles under your eyes will make you look like a raccoon before midterms-which you'll then probably fail. And exercise-what's that? Say hello to thunder thighs and saggy bat-wing arms.

Sound awful? Good. It's supposed to. But take heart: With the simple advice you'll find in this book, you can eat right and get the sleep and exercise you need to excel academically and creatively. You'll get the straight story on how to avoid the freshman fifteen, and learn how to make good choices in the cafeteria and make smart snacks on those few useless appliances they allow you to keep in your room. You'll get tips on fitting regular exercise into a busy class schedule and getting enough sleep without being the only one who never-NEVER-makes it to the latest of the late-night parties.

? Eat smart to fight the freshman fifteen, food allergies, and fatigue ? Prepare smart snacks right in your dorm room-without burning the place down! ? Get enough sleep without missing out on too much late night fun ? Build the body of your dreams with smart exercise tips ? Make the grade without succumbing to stress
