The Freshman 15

When I attended college, I was very disappointed in the selection of food in the dining room. I often find myself eating hamburgers and pizzas again and again, because that does not like other options. During the 4 months of grade, I went to the doctor and examined the virus, but when the nurse gave me weight, I was a little surprised what I saw. My weight has increased by more than 10 pounds. This is close enough to what some people call "Newborn 15". College students are generally concerned about weighting 15 pounds in adapting to college life.

One of the most common fears we hear from university freshmen is about getting a bad "newborn 15". Freshman 15 refers to the myth that university first graders add 15 pounds in the first year of school. It became one of the words Americans cast in the conversation. It seems as if the fact proved it is an unavoidable reality. At the beginning of each grade there is a series of articles about it, there is a zealous overview of techniques to avoid weight gain. However, is freshman 15 really happening? Will further anxiety and efforts to stop expected weight gain will exacerbate things?

As undergraduates, did most freshmen really add £ 15 in their first year? The research tells us that no. Several studies have studied the phenomenon of 15 neonates, found that the increase in weight is common to the freshman year, but the ratio of 15 pounds is above average. The actual weight gain of the newborn in various studies is very different, the overall average is 71/2 pounds. 15 Meta-analysis of phenomena studies found that almost two-thirds of the students increased their weight, but less than 10% of the students increased more than 15 pounds.

First of all, freshman 15 does not exist. After considering 12 different studies, the average college freshman's income rose by about 3 pounds in the first year. This is far below the infamous 15 pounds, but it is still worth paying attention, as newborns will be faster 34 times faster than those who are not. There is no clear reason for this weight gain. The university freshmen have actually experienced many lifestyle changes. Because many of them are their first independent lives. Some of the changes are self service cafes, lack of physical activity, increased stress, increased alcohol intake, and irregular schedule. Our research team wants to know if the research of Freshman 15 at Central University is similar to the result we evaluated.
