I’m no scientist, so I can’t vouch for this infographic’s reliability. I found this on /r/keto today, and figured it would be worth sharing. Make your own decisions of what it claims.

Planning is important in any diet. Planning before you go out is the best way to shave calories off what could be a catastrophic night. And planning for any major changes is a must. As many of us transition back into school life, keep a few things in mind.
1. Know your Gym.
I don’t think I’ve ever heard of a campus without a recreation center. If you don’t know where it is, research. You’ve got Google Maps. Damn. And even if you find that your gym is on the other side of campus, don’t let that stop you. You’re aiming to exercise, after all – make the walk part of your workout.
2. Get your schedule down.
I’m no scientist, but I’ve heard that exercising at the same time everyday is the best way to plan for. If you can, I’d shoot for that. Sadly, most class schedules don’t work that way. Just be sure to know what time is best to exercise everyday. That way you can know whether or not you’ll have any ‘trouble days’. And it’s alright if just can’t get any exercise in some days – remember, this is about a lifestyle change, not punishing yourself. What you can’t do, you can’t do. Just feel really, really guilty about it.
3. Pack snacks.
Good luck finding any healthy options when you’re walking around campus. Best you’re going to find is those little Humus snack packs. I don’t think those are even on most campuses. You’ve got to bring your own. Because you will have to run to class without lunch one day, and you will be dreaming of hamburgers if you don’t have your damn snack.
4. Know the dorm food.
Hamburgers are tasty, but they can kill you. There’s probably a healthy dining hall – if you have separate dining halls – you just need to find it. For me, that’s Straz. The dining hall I should avoid? Schroeder - it’s all bread and pasta. Those Italians really know how to kill people.
Planning is important. And I’m not usually a planning guy. Hell, you can plan all day, but it doesn’t matter a bit until you’re out there living it. But even if it doesn’t work, you know what went wrong. If you can adapt, you can make it. That’s all it takes.
Hey, guess what! I’m a college kid. Being a college kid, I spend all my time on Reddit. Every waking moment is Reddit. I’m certainly more of a lurker than an active participant, but I have a few subreddits that I live by.
First: /r/moderatepolitics: best place I’ve found to read reasonable people talk politics.
Second: /r/askreddit: It’s utter, utter trash. And I love it.
Third, and most relevant to this post: /r/loseit.
Real people, with real results. Dialog. An active community. It’s the perfect place for anyone looking to lose, or people who are just looking for shocking before/afters (of which there are dozens). The community has never been anything but helpful, and It’s quickly becoming my go-to tip site for weight loss. I can’t recommend it highly enough.
Does this man look happy? BECAUSE HE ISN'T.
Skiing is the worst parts of walking combined with all the parts of slipping. When you go out to ski, you expect that you’ll be gliding around and swooping down hills. Wrong. Your ankles do this thing where they tilt outwards every few steps or so, and you’re constantly about to fall. Most of the energy used in skiing is just trying to keep your legs straight. Oh, and it’s cold. You can’t even do it when it’s nice outside. It requires you to be miserable.
It’s 100% pain. Pain on ice. Ice-pain. I moved an average of 1.0 mph. Babies crawl faster than that. But that’s what skiing is like. Never go skiing. Ever. If your friends pay you to go skiing – don’t go. They are terrible friends. And your glasses get fogged up – ugh. It’s the worst.
On the bright side, I burned 677 calories. NOT EVEN WORTH IT. (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻
