Campus News Blog: What Not to Eat

Their first suggestion is to eat grilled food, not fried. They suggest putting slices of grilled chicken on a salad to get protein and add to your meal.

Along with getting rid of fried foods YWH says to eat whole grains rather than refined grains. So instead of white rice and bread, eat brown rice and whole wheat bread.

When you get cereal for breakfast, skip the whole milk and go for skim or soy milk instead. They essentially taste the same, but have much less fat than whole milk.

Like your mother always told you “an apple a day keeps the doctor away,” skip cookies and cake for dessert and grab fruit like apples, raspberries, or blueberries.

YWH also suggests keeping your room stocked with healthy snacks like hummus, carrots, animal crackers, canned fruit, yogurt, and most importantly, water.
