Not one diet works for everyone. People have different work schedules and allergies. You can even take one of these diets and tailor it a little more to your lifestyle. Take what works for you in order to ultimately make your diet healthier!

1. Gerson diet

This diet is not for the faint of heart. It’s all plant-based, low in protein, sodium, and fats. It’s typically used to help heal chronic disease and serious illnesses, like cancer. This diet is very restrictive, giving a specific list of foods to eat and the ways in which they can be eaten.

2. Mediterranean diet

Mostly plant-based, allowing whole grains and legumes, using Mediterranean spices and healthy fats. It limits the eating of red meat but encourages fish and poultry. This diet supposedly lowers the risk of heart disease, allowing for the occasional glass of red wine.


3. Paleolithic diet

The point of this diet is to eat how our ancestors did, meaning no processed foods, refined sugars, or grains. It wants you to revert to eating as hunter-gatherers without counting calories.

4. Atkins diet

It’s a four-stage low-carb diet that was most recently seen being promoted by the Kardashians. It allows unlimited proteins and fats while incrementally adding back 5 grams of carbs to the 20 grams starting point.

5. Zone diet

The Zone diet is a low-glycemic load diet that limits carbs to 35–45% of daily calorie intake and protein and fat to 30% each. Each meal you eat should contain one-third protein, two-thirds colorful fruits and veggies and a dash of healthy fat. It is said to be beneficial in reducing inflammation and the risk of developing chronic diseases.

How will you make your diet healthier this year?

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
