- As Halloween approaches, college students will prepare costumes and for the ones who will dress up minimally will start watching their figure (i.e. they will start controlling their diet and/or start working out). Specifically for those that will change their eating habit will pay special attention to their caloric intake; this period of low caloric intake of a person is called the halloweenorexia.
