Step 1
Choose your food wisely - Some of this may be common sense, such as don't have soda with every meal, choose brown bread or rice over white, and try to eat fruits and vegetables. To lose the Freshman 15, you should stay away from deep-fried foods. Instead, choose baked, roasted or steamed foods.

Step 2
Don't rush through meals - Make sure you don't eat too quickly, even if you are rushing to class because you may overeat unintentionally and not realize when you are full. Eating huge portions will not help you to lose the Freshman 15.

Step 3
Remove all temptations from your dorm room - I used to keep all sorts of snacks in my dorm room such as chips, cookies and chocolate. Whenever I was stressed or even just a little bit hungry, I would reach for my snacks because they were so easily accessible. So remove the temptation! Or at least stock up on healthier snacks and fruits.

Step 4
Exercise with friends - Going to the gym can be monotonous and boring. However if you make a pact with a friend, you're more likely to go. You can challenge each other and keep each other motivated.
