Nutrition counseling helps beat 'Freshman 15'
By Courtney Eblen
Kansan staff writer
As "Freshman 15" season begins, students are starting diets to lose the extra pounds before they accumulate.
Freshman 15 describes the average amount of weight many first-year college students gain, said Ann Davenport a dietitian at Watkins Memo-Kettering.
While a crash diet might appeal to quick fix fantasies, students who lose a lot of weight at once are likely to gain it back, said Davis, who works with students at Watkins' Nutritional Counseling Services.
Sara Choler, St. Louis senior, lost 35 pounds since she began a diet
planned by the service at Watkins a year ago.
"I hated being as fat as I was, and I knew I needed help." Cholar said. "All it took was being aware of what I was eating all the time."
Choler said that when she was in high school, she went to Diet Center, a national weight-loss franchise, in 1985. She got on a staircase, 780 calories-a-day diet.
"It's the kind of diet where if you eat something that's not on their list, you gain weight," she said.
Ruth Gilligannon, owner and manager of Lawrence's Diet Center, 935 Iowa St., said her clients were placed on a special diet in calorie. Clients also are given vitamin supplements and attend group counseling sessions.
She said the Diet Center also recommended that their clients exercise at least 20 minutes a day.
Choler said that she stayed with Diet Center for eight months and lost 20 pounds but that the weight came back after she quit.
Davis said Choler's weight loss under the Watkins' program was effective because she lost weight slowly and was not on a starvation diet that might have tempted her to sburge.
The Watkins weight loss system is based on calorie points, which are easier to count than calories (one calorie point for every 75 calories). The diet never dips below 1,200 calories, or about 17 calorie points.
The biggest problem for dieters was sticking to their program, Davis said.
it's not difficult." Davis said of Watkins' program. "You need to stay committed to it for it to work."
"This is not a quick-fix diet, and
Normal caloric intake for 18- to 24-year-olds ranges from 2,500 to 3,000 calories, depending on their sex, height and body type, Davis said. Students who exercise a great deal may need to eat more.
"You need to keep your heart rate up for at least 30 minutes for exercise to make a difference in your weight," she said.
