Nutritional counselor, Linda Kapusniak, advises
a high carbohydrate/low fat diet.
A day's food intake, she said, should consist of 60
percent carbohydrate foods, such as breads, fruits
and vegetables; 20 to 25 percent fat; and 15 to 20
percent lean proteins such as fish, chicken, and lean
red meats (usually rounds or loins.)
"You should avoid foods high in fat such as
butters, gravies, mayonnaise, salad dressing, baked
goods, nuts, cheeses and candy," Kapusniak said.
In addition to watching the fat content of your
foods, Kapusniak said, you must also watch the
amount of calories in your food that come from fat.
"If you eat more calories than your body needs,
they are stored as fat," she said.
Many products claim to be "lite" or "low fat," but
are really just as bad for you as regular foods. By
multiplying the grams of fat listed on a product
times nine, and then dividing that number by the
amount of calories, any consumer can calculate the
percent of calories from fat.
Fast food is generally a college student's downfall
when it comes to nutrition. Green said. And it is
almost impossible to eat right when eating out.
"Students definitely need to watch the content of
their food," he said. "It is extremely difficult to eat
well out, but it can be done. Start by choosing
Chinese stir fry or maybe Schlotzsky's over
something like McDonald's. Definitely avoid fried
foods."
However, the hectic life of a student does not
always permit time to choose. Kapusniak said there
are some things you can order from fast food places
that aren't that bad.
"McDonald's McLean burger is the least fattening
burger on the market with only 30 percent fat," she
said. "At Taco Bell, the bean burrito is one of the
best items to order because beans are low in fat but,
high in carbohydrates. At Wendy's, you might
order a baked potato with chili on it. At other
places, try to stick with the grilled chicken
sandwiches, and if you must eat a hamburger, no
cheese or mayonnaise."
In an effort to lose weight, many students try to
speed up the process by skipping meals, starvation
and fad diets, experts said. These methods are most
times self-defeating and definitely not healthy.
Lumpee said students who skip meals end up
decreasing their metabolism and, in the end, may
end up gaining more weight back than what they
initially lost.
"When a person skips meals or tries just eating
one big meal a day, his or her body begins to think it
is starving, therefore slowing its metabolism to
conserve. When that person resumes normal eating
habits or begins to take in more than before, they
end up gaining weight," he said. "1 recommend
eating several small meals a day. This, combined
with exercising, will increase your metabolism. In
the end, you may even be able to take in more food
than before."
The results of exercising properly and eating right
are favorable but slow in coming. Lumpee said
many people come into his gym two weeks before
spring break expecting to become perfect in that
short time.
"People that are really overweight will see a
visible difference fairly quickly," he said. "Others
will see change in maybe four to six weeks. They
will begin to feel better and have more energy before
that."
Floyd said the key is patience.
"It's not an overnight thing," she said. "It's just a
matter of working the process and sticking with it.
You have to be patient and willing to work."
'Schindler's List' arrives in Poland
The Associated Press
KRAKOW, Poland - Direc
tor Steven Spielberg stood in si
lence outside the ruins of a Nazi
death camp crematorium after
arriving Wednesday for the Pol
ish premiere of his movie,
"Schindler's List."
Spielberg returned to the city
where he filmed much of the
movie recounting how industri
alist Oskar Schindler saved
1,100 Jews from the nearby
Auschwitz gas chambers by
putting them to work at his fac
tories.
Some of the Jews rescued by
Schindler were among the 900
people who attended the pre
miere Wednesday at the Kijow
theater.
Spielberg and his wife, ac
tress Kate Capshaw, visited
Auschwitz-Birkenau, the former
Nazi death camp complex 40
miles outside of Krakow, to pay
respect to more than one million
Jews who perished there. Six
million Jews died in the Holo
caust.
The couple held hands as
they stood in silence for several
minutes at the ruins of a crema
torium in Birkenau. They later
walked to what remained of one
of the camp's gas chambers,
which the Nazis destroyed
shortly before Auschwitz was
liberated in January 1945.
At a news conference later
Wednesday, Spielberg said he
wanted to tell tne story of Holo
caust survivors to draw "atten
tion of young people all over
the world to what happened
here."
He said he felt more like a
documentary filmmaker or a
journalist while making the
film.
"It was a revelation, when I
came to Krakow and could see
the places where the truth was
spoken," he said.
From Poland, he will travel
to Israel for the film's opening
there Thursday.
The film has received 12
Academy Award nominations.
Polish film critic Barbara
Hollender wrote in the Rzecz-
pospolita daily Wednesday that
Spielberg's 'sensitivity made
us, Europeans, ashamed."
"Nobody has ever depicted
on the screen the hell of the
Holocaust and extermination in
such way, nobody has ever
shown such dirt on human dig
nity," she said. The film's se
quences of the Holocaust "be
long to the most shocking in
movie history."
Also Wednesday, Spielberg
held a private screening for sev
eral hundred Polish crew mem
bers who took part and assisted
in the filming.
Recalling the long working
days, sometimes up to 14 hours,
the director thanked those gath
ered.
"Please be as proud of your
work in this picture as I am of
mine," Spielberg said. "We owe
a lot to the people of Krakow
and I will never be able to repay
you. But I feel that our sacrifices
were only a minute fraction of
the sacrifices of those who were
murdered between 1939 and
1945."
Conservative sounds reign at Grammys
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — By honoring Whitney Hous
ton's big, swooping love song and the music
from a Disney movie, Grammy voters proved
they're still suckers for sentiment.
The Grammy Awards only reinforced it Tues
day night by giving top, honors to movie music
from the soundtracks to "Aladdin" and "The
Bodyguard."
Houston won best pop female vocalist and
record of the year for "I Will Always Love You,"
her 10-million selling cover of a country song that
was barely noticed when Dolly Parton wrote it
two decades ago. "The Bodyguard" soundtrack
also won album of the year.
Houston explained later that she was reluctant
to sing the song when offered. "I kept saying, 'it's
a country song,"' she said. After a few tries, "I
felt myself singing it and loving it," she said.
Parton presented Houston with one of her awards.
"When I wrote that song 22 years ago I had a
heartache," Parton said. "But it's amazing how
healing money can be."
The "Aladdin" soundtrack, which last year
won two Academy Awards, took five Grammys.
"A Whole New World (Aladdin's Theme)" won
song of the year for composers Alan Menken and
Tim Rice, while Peabo Bryson and Regina Belle
were honored for their duet on the song.
"Bodyguard" producer David Foster, who
picked up four Grammys, said he knows the mu
sic he likes isn't popular with critics.
"Popular music means the music that people
like," Foster said backstage. "That's the kind of
music that, hopefully, myself and my contempo
raries make. I know we do get slagged for it, for
not being on the cutting edge, but I don't know
how to do it any other way.'
Michael Greene, president of the National
Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences, con
ceded that "some of the selections in the big cate
gories were probably mainstream."
Grammys went to new acts like Stone Temple
Pilots, Digable Planets, Dr. Dre and Soul Asylum.
The award for best alternative album went to U2,
a fixture at the top of the charts.
U2 lead singer Bono said the award made him
"a little embarrassed, being filthy rich and all."
Bono also provided much of the evening's in
advertent entertainment when he uttered a swear
word on live television, Greene said. He then
ave lifetime achievement award winner Frank
inatra a rollicking tribute, saying the Chairman
of the Board had the swagger rockers craved.
