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.

Review: This book is great if you are a college student and are pretty much broke. It gives helpful advice to those of us who are on a budget and struggle to stay healthy. I, absolutely, loved how the author was able to connect with us by the telling of her story, as well as what she thought she was doing wrong. I must admit it did spark some sense into my head about how I was living. The information was a bit vague for me, but for some it would probably be enough. From working through a fitness regime to deciding on what the better food choices are, this book will help most college students struggling to stay healthy.
