Fiahtir fitness phobia Freshman 15? TWenty? Fee son of "Models, Inc.?" Tkfa soup dfet, the water diet? Open Door HeaM The center has a program called Lighten Up that will guide you through a process of examining and improving your behavior. "It teaches you behavior changes that can last your whole life," said Marsha Itin, a peer educator and an international studies senior. "It's not a diet program. Really, it helps to have someone to talk to ? a check ? to help you along." The eight-week program costs $10 and is available to all students. Peer educators such as Itin, who train for a semester in health education, meet with the participants once a week for one- on-one counseling. The sessions cover eating, exercise and nutrition and refer students to exercise programs on campus. Students' personal goals are considered first, whether to lose weight, cut fat intake or just feel better. One of the sessions is with a registered nutritionist who will analyze your food diary. Students can come into the center for a body fat test, a cholesterol test (for a minimal lab fee), a stress evaluation, a nutritional analysis or eating disorders and receive confidential counseling about the results of those tests. "If you don't want to weigh in, you don't need to," Itin said. "It's up to the individual student." Elise Vaughn is a graduate assistant who trains the peer health educators. She emphasizes the goal setting and lifestyle changes of the program. "This is not a diet that you go on and off of," Vaughn said. "It teaches healthy behavior. You may lose some weight, and you'll learn to keep it off." The Freshman 15 isn't a myth, Itin said. "When women especially come to school, they have not been socialized to make choices about food," Itin said. "Your metabolism slows and you have more free time, so it's easy to eat more ana put on weignt. Women tend to be the majority of those seeking assistance at Open Door. "The main misconception of women is that they will look at one extreme or the other with exercise or diet," Itin said. "The main thing is moderation and balance." She said it's OK to eat that whole bag of potato chips ? so long as you don't do it eveiy I day and you eat a salad that night. A real temptation for college students is snack food and unhealthy eating habits. "It's important to eat three meals a day, and especially eat breakfast," Itin said.

It's OK to snack because it keeps your blood sugar up and gives you more nutrients. Pretzels won't kill you." She also stresses moderation in cutting fat or calories. "You need fat in your diet," she said "Don't cut it all." Exercise is an important component of the health program. "You don't have to be a fanatic to get something out of it," Vaughn said. "A 20- to 30minute walk is great. Walk; don't drive. Don't overdo it or go all-out No pain, no gain is simply the wrong attitude." "You should be able to carry on a conversation while exercising," Vaughn stressed. "That's a good rule of thumb to work within your target heart rate. Your target heart rate is a range for optimal benefit while exercising. "For weight loss, you need to exercise at the lower end of that range for 20 to 30 minutes three to five times a week. For general ( health, everyone should accumulate 30 min- < utes of exercise a day." For Itin, attitude is most important. ! "The key is to be happy with yourself," she I said. "It's not good to think, vIf I lose weight, I then 111 be happy, popular, whatever.' That's I not a good motivation. You should be concerned about your heart and cholesterol, but feeling good about yourself as an outlook is most important." mi@ n, v H n n jor In... KB I | [1 Studies ?
