The 10-Step Program for Creating a Healthy Lifestyle Plan That Really Works
The Dorm Room Diet
Revised and Updated Edition
Figuring out how to eat right and stay healthy on your own can be hard! Here is help from someone who's been there. Like many girls, Daphne Oz struggled with her weight as a teenager and hated the extreme restrictions of fad diets. She wanted to find a healthy lifestyle solution that would let her enjoy a full college experience without packing on the proverbial Freshman 15. But could it be done?
With the help of her father and grandfather, both cardiac surgeons, and her mother and grandmother, both holistic nutrition advisors, Daphne developed a whole new approach to managing her weight. How well did it work? You be the judge: In her first semester of college, she not only skipped the typical beer-and-pizza-fueled weight gain—she lost 10 pounds and became healthier than she had ever been.
The transition to college life presents a golden opportunity to seize control of your health for good, and now the secrets of Daphne's success are available to you in The Dorm Room Diet.
Get inspired. Get informed. Get started!
In this revised and updated edition of her national bestseller, Daphne shows you how to:
Daphne also includes recipes that you can prepare in your dorm room or kitchen (including vegan and gluten-free dishes), and an informative, new section on "conscious eating," explaining how your food choices affect your health and the planet.
The Dorm Room Diet will empower you to use your newfound independence to create a healthy lifestyle while in college—and for the rest of your life.
"This is a great book to pack between the extra-long twin sheets and study lamp."—Publishers Weekly
"A survival guide to eating healthfully and exercising during the precarious time when parental controls are off."—Los Angeles Times
Adult/High School
Written in a style similar to Steven Covey's "Highly Effective Teens" books (S & S) and passing along wisdom the author learned from her father, Mehemet Oz, author of You: The Owner's Manual (HarperCollins, 2005), this title is part dietary adviser, part survival guide for the first year of college. Specifically addressing girls, it is filled with quotes from young women, giving tips for staying healthy. Topics include eating habits for all-nighters and illustrated exercises to be done in the dorm room. While the dietary advice is general in nature, Oz chronicles her own struggles with weight and is encouraging to readers trying to maintain healthy lifestyles. Checklists, self-reflection questions, and boxed tips are interspersed throughout. The tone is upbeat and positive. Teenage girls will enjoy the anecdotes and learn a lot about staying healthy along the way.

This book was great when trying to make a lifestyle change. It was an entertaining read and very easy. It gave a lot of helpful hints, ideas, and recipes to help. Daphne Oz tries to encourage you to be conscious about your health instead of demanding you to change the way you are. "Diet" is not the word I would have used to describe this book. The only compliant I have is that all the foods and recipes are vegetarian based... however the author is a vegetarian. Overall a great book to read!!!

I think this book is fantastic!! Daphne Oz really informed me about simple carbs vs. complex carbs and why we should all avoid simple carbs. I've followed a lot of her guidelines and have lost almost 30 lbs!! It really has become a healthy lifestyle and not a "diet", and i'm so much happier now that i've started losing the weight! i know this is something i can keep up for the rest of my life and i won't gain the weight back!!

She walks in wearing a knee length strapless dress. The bodice is gray & goes to just below her chest. The belt is wide & black with an inset of bejewled sheer white ribbon & goes from the bodice to just above her hips. The skirt is black with gray & white flowers & goes from the belt to her knees. Her shoes are black Mary Janes wth white pearl beads all along the edges & jewels across the straps. Her purse is almost all black except that an inch & a half above the bottom is a strand of woven gold thread. Beneath it the rest of the purse is gray. Her headband is white with a large black sequined flower that has a bejeweled center. Her gloves are black with gray sateen inserts sticking out the ends & come about 2 to 3 inches above her wrists. A shiny silver jewel clasp on each glove holds the inserts in. She walks in & says, "hi. Im hosting a party. It is at "party" results five through ten the party will be all day & ends tonight at 10:50PM. See you there!! Spread the word plz." She left.
