The lecture was sponsored by The Allen Foundation, Inc. of Midland. In high school the day starts at 8 am and ends at 3 pm. In college, there's an unlimited amount of food available nearly every hour of the day, there's the comfort familiar food offers when everything and everyone is new, an overindulgence of alcohol and, for some students, a more sedentary way of life. Ms. Litt said there's not much value in fat-free because most people just eat more.
Balance is really the key.
Eat protein, vegetables, starch and fruit and some junk food every day. Create the deficit. If you're not into counting calories, become familiar with your portion sizes. Then, reduce your daily intake by one-fourth of what you currently eat. Stop eating when you're full.
