I'm applying to universities at the moment. To be honest, I think LC'ing will be easier at University (should I still need to do it then).

Applying to Yale, Notre Dame, Boston College, Georgetown and Tufts just in case anyone is interested.

Hi Robed,
I don't think that LC-ing is easier at Univ unless you have a lot of money. Most kids try to get by on a meal plan and not much else, and that means mostly carbs because that's what is cheap for the university to feed you. If you do LC in a university dining hall get ready for major repetition, like tuna fish every single day or something. Since you aren't preparing the food yourself, you can't have any of the prepared meat dishes that they add all kinds of crap to. Once you get a kitchen it gets easier, but again it can be very expensive to be eating beef when your friends are eating ramen and rice.

as for the schools you're applying to, good luck, I got my BA at one of the ones you listed!!

one small piece of advice: you said you'd be LC'ing "if I need to do it then." Remember the only way LC-ing works is if you make the commitment to do it forever. Otherwise, it's no better than any crash / fad diet. At our age it's all about image, so stick with the diet and you'll be healthier and happier.

And take a prehistoric anthropology class in college--you'll find out why LC is the only natural way to eat.

Good luck and I hope to see you on here again.
Best, Kypraia
