I am a 21 year old college student. I barely have time to go to the gym and often I eat fatty foods because I don't have time to cook. What sort of exercises can I do at home when the gym is closed that will tone my abs, thighs, and buns? And what sort of foods can I avoid/eat more of to aid weight loss?

I understand your situation. I lived at college dorms too. The food was really bad. I went home often or I would simply eat out. Well, I can tell you that eating too much fried foods is not good. Fruits and grains I recommend. You have to be wary about what you are eating. Read the labels or signs about the food that is being served to you. If you can't make it to the gym, don't worry. It is hard to jiggle exercising with your studies. I think you should drink at least eight glasses of water and try to eat a salad and two servings of fruit per day. I have been told that an apple is a good source of fiber. Try to eat more fruits and veggies than meat. Meats are good for protein but too much can be fattening especially when it's fried. I recommend to eat meats in moderation. As for the exercising, take a walk instead of driving or taking a bus or subway everywhere you go (if you have to time!!).
Take care and be strong!! Good luck in you studies!! College was fun for me and I know it can be fun for you if you make it fun. Meet new people and socialize. Books are not everything, life experiences are the best teachers.
Much luv,
Jenn ;-)

I found this great article in prevention magazine to tone your buns and thighs when you can't exercise every day. All you need is a set of 2 or 5 pound dumbells(if you want the workout to be more effective). You spread your feet about a foot and a half apart. If using dumbells, hold them in your hands at a right(90degree) angle. You then squat and hold for 3sec.(make sure your knees are not further out than yor feet). Do 3 sets of 12 repetitions(36 times) for 3 days a week. You should see results in a few weeks. Hope I helped.

i chanced in this great article in prevention mag to tone your buns and thighs once you won't be in a position to workout daily. All you like is a set of two or 5 pound dumbells(in case you like the workout consultation to be greater useful). You unfold your ft a pair of foot and a one million/2 aside. If making use of dumbells, carry them on your palms at a very good(90degree) attitude. then you definately squat and carry for 3sec.(make particular your knees at the instant are not further out than yor ft). Do 3 instruments of 12 repetitions(36 situations) for 3 days each week. you may see leads to 3 weeks. wish I helped.
