The Dorm Room Diet promises safe weight loss in a nutritionally challenging atmosphere of the college dorm rooms. Daphne Oz did not just write another book, she avoided the dreaded “freshman 15″ weight gain by following her own program.

She comes from a family with a strong medical background. Her farther and two grandfathers are cardiac surgeons. Her grandmother is a nutritionist. Yet, carrying 175 pounds on her 5-foot-8 frame, she was overweight.

This book is not about convoluted dieting rules. It provides college students with no-nonsense tips and guidelines for creating a healthy lifestyle of their own.

Now 30 pounds lighter, Oz explains in her book what a typical college student can do to avoid the “triggers” leading to “freshman 15” weight gain.

It could be as simple as drinking a glass of water before every meal. Some of her other tips include managing stress to prevent emotional eating, reducing alcohol intake, and how to find healthy snacks.

Perhaps what I like the most about The Dorm Room Diet is its ability to connect with college students on their level.

Daphne Oz is not an outsider. When it comes to “freshman 15” weight gain, she knows exactly the type of challenges that many college students are faced with.

The Dorm Room Diet by Daphne Oz seems appropriately priced for college students. It is only $11.53 and is available at Amazon.
