1. Don't Skip Breakfast

Skipping breakfast can lead to overeating later in the day, leading to a caloric surplus.

2. Get Enough Sleep

Sleep is the time our bodies take to repair themselves and prepare for a new day. Sleep deprivation causes hormonal imbalances that affect weight, fatigue, and hunger.

3. Drink Plenty of Water

Water helps to boost your metabolism, reduce water retention and bloating, flush out toxins, and keep you focused.

4. Take a Lifetime Fitness Course or Join the Gym

Many universities offer fitness courses and have a gym on campus free for students to use. It may be intimidating, but everyone is there to better themselves.

5. Reduce Your Portions But Don't Forget to Snack

Eating several smaller meals a day rather than three large ones actually helps to keep your metabolism energized and curb cravings.

6. Learn How to Navigate the Dining Hall

Dining halls offer a wide variety of unlimited foods which can lead to overeating very easily. Avoid doing this by taking a look at the menu beforehand and making a mental note of how to navigate the dining hall and build yourself a healthy meal.

7. Get in a Routine

Once you get into a routine of doing things, taking care of your health will seem less like a chore and become more of a habit and priority, especially once you get to see the benefits of your efforts.
