A private liberal-arts college is embarking on an unusual promotion to recruit prospective students and dissuade them from choosing public universities -- buy four years and get the fifth, if needed, tuition-free.

Juniata College's four-year guarantee will apply to all incoming freshmen who enroll in the fall of 2008, said John S. Hille, executive vice president for advancement and marketing.

The promotion's message is intended specifically for potential applicants who live in a 12-county region of central Pennsylvania, Hille said.

In marketing materials for the campaign, officials say the average four-year cost of attending Juniata is more than $60,000, when financial aid is factored in.

A Successful Weight Loss Campaign Begins With Nutrition

If you want to lose weight fast, and if you are anything like the rest of the people in the world who are packing on a few extra pounds, you invariably do, nothing will melt away that fat faster than a healthy nutrition plan.

Many people think that exercising alone will help you lose weight. The fact remains that exercise, although very important to being healthy, is practically useless unless you give your body the nutrients it needs to function.

One way of doing this is to eat a proper diet of the right proteins, carbohydrates and vegetables. Yes I said carbohydrates in there. We all need them and they aren't bad, you just need to eat the right ones in the right amounts.

The first thing that you need to know when it comes to weight loss and eating healthy is knowing exactly how much to eat. The general rule of thumb is to eat six times everyday or one meal every two and half to three hours. This gives your body a constant supply of nutrients. This constant supply helps fuel your body and keeps your metabolism running at a high rate to help burn the fat.

Even if you eat six times a day not eating the right things won't do you any good either. Each meal should consist of a serving of protein, a serving of carbohydrates and a serving of green vegetables. These servings should be equal in size and should all be about the size of your clenched fist. Using this method removes the need for scales and measuring. The process of eating healthy can be challenging enough without adding the extra work of weighing and everything out.

Now that you know how often to eat and how much to eat, you need to know what it is you will be eating to help lose weight. This is actually simpler than you might think. Your proteins should be lean meats, fish, egg whites or egg substitutes, low or no fat cottage cheese to name a few. Always bake or grill your food whenever possible, and if you must fry something use a non stick cooking spray such Pam to reduce the amount of bad fats that you incorporate into your nutrition plan.

Your carbohydrates work the same. Instead of eating anything that is white enriched switch to the healthier alternative. For example, instead of white bread, eat multi-grain, instead of white potatoes eat a Yam, replace your white rice with brown rice, and replace those sugary "soft" drinks with water or Crystal Light.

Polish it off with a serving size of a green vegetable and you will be well on your way to a healthier meal and a successful weight loss campaign.
