Product Description: Fight the Freshman Fifteen, Sleepless Nights, and Other Pitfalls of College Life

Welcome to college life. It’s full of possibilities—and pitfalls. Cafeteria food is awful, but there sure is a lot of it. And you can eat as much (or more) of anything—and everything—as you want. And in a single year of study, you can grow a gut that will haunt you for the rest of your life. No one in the dorm is going to tell you when to go to bed, and you can wear each all-night cram session like a badge of honor. But on two hours of sleep a night, the circles under your eyes will make you look like a raccoon before midterms—which you’ll then probably fail. And exercise—what’s that? Say hello to thunder thighs and saggy bat-wing arms.

Handbook of Pediatric Nutrition, Third Edition (Hardcover)

Product Description: The word "diet" means more than eating less. It's cutting down on some factors (fat, usually), and getting enough of others. If you're serious about eating healthfully and losing weight, you need more than a list of calories: you need a reliable source of comprehensive dietary information. That's where Nutrition Facts comes in. Within its pages are more than 40,000 entries that list everything from abalone to zucchini--raw foods, fast foods, and brand names included. For each item Art Ulene presents calories, protein, carbohydrates, sodium, fiber, fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, percent of calories from fat, plus vitamins and minerals. He takes the guesswork out of healthful eating, and provides the wherewithal for you to follow through on your laudable intents. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
