Daphne Oz’s Dorm Room Diet Plan The Freshman 15
Dr. Oz’s daughter – and author of The Dorm Room Diet – Daphne literally wrote the book on the subject: warding off the Freshman 15. Her healthy eating tips and tricks are nutrition-savvy, and the perfect pointers for anyone trying to ward off weight gain.
Daphne Oz spoke about growing up in a family with both Grandfathers were heart surgeons, her father Dr Oz is a heart surgeon, her mom Lisa Oz is a practicing Vegetarian, and also author of US: Transforming Ourselves and the Relationships that Matter Most
Daphne grew up very over weight as a kid, at 16 she was 5’8″ and weighed 175 pounds. When she looked in the mirror she says she didn’t see a feminine pretty girl, all she saw was her weight.
When Daphne first got accepted into college she thought this is the beginning of my adult life, so in her freshman year she took control of her weight. She said she was afraid to gain the Freshman 15, you get to college and exist on pizza and beer you have no parents there to tell you to put the spoon down.
Developing the Dorm Room Diet was a total experiment says Daphne, and she used herself as the guinea pig. This was going to be a system that would really work and it would have to be easy. The biggest thing you can do is learning to prepackage snacks(Dr Oz says this all the time). Daphne would have snacks all done up in little bags consisting of fruits and vegetables and found that made all the difference.
Daphne realized she needed to write a book for college students and make sure it was in the voice of a college student, making sure her generation took charge of itself. She went to say that the beauty of this lifestyle is that it works even you left school and works for people outside of school.
Daphne Oz says you don’t have to fail with your health, you can make sure you keep healthy!
As you will see in the video Daphne Oz and Daddy Dr Oz play a game called is it worth it with mother and daughter Patty and Nicole. Patty is concerned about her daughter going of to college and she could develop bad habits. Patty is very excited about her daughter going of to college but also very concerned with her new schedule, living on campus, she’s not going to have the time to eat properly, and could gain the freshman 15.
The game is a bout foods Daphne would approve of to avoid you gaining weight, especially the freshman 15. Dr Oz said this is not just for college students it is for everyone. Which foods are bad or good for you when having to make a choice.
Dr Oz and his daughter Daphne Oz played a game today called “Is It Worth It”
Small bowl of potato chips
Large Sherbet Orange Drink
Pick the potato chips – When looking at the potato chips it doesn’t seem like the healthy choice, but juice drinks and juice drink bars add a lot of ice cream and sugary syrups which equals a lot of calories. Daphne said not to be fooled by it saying there is fruit on the label that it’s healthy. Dr Oz went to say that high fruitouse corn syrup which is found will put on the the extra pounds, the freshman 15.
Which Should You Eat!
A Piece Of BirthdayCake
Chocolate Chip Cookie
Pick the cake – Daphne and Dr Oz explains why you should pick the piece of cake. Although the cookie is small and you assume it is the better choice and the cake would have way more calories, Daphne says what your looking for is an emotional experience. You want to be able to celebrate with friends and family if your going to eat something less than healthy for you. Have the cake and don’t go for the box of cookies at night when your by yourself, maybe coming home from a party.
Dr Oz Tip: When at a party be the last one served, because by the time everyone else is going for left overs you not finished yours.

Dorm Room Diet Reviews
From Publishers Weekly:
Daughter of bestselling cardiologist Mehmet Oz (You: The Owner’s Manual), the young Oz struggled with weight as a teen. Now a Princeton sophomore, she offers a range of advice for college girls hoping to sidestep the “Freshman 15.” Those late-night study binges, tailgating and sports events, parties, TV watching and heavy talks can lead even clever Ivy Leaguers down the road to weight gain.
No doubt inspired by her dad (who penned the introduction), Oz offers an eight-step program that advocates sensible, healthful eating, exercise and vitamin use. While warning against the pitfalls of high-calorie foods like alcohol, full-fat cheese and simple carbs, she okays coffee in moderation, bread dipped in olive oil, and chocolate. Balance is crucial, Oz notes, pointing out that one night of partying won’t spoil everything if it’s followed by healthy eating the next day. Punctuating her text with practical tips (stock up on wholesome snacks such as almonds and veggies before snuggling in for a study marathon, the author addresses her female peers in a breezy, conversational style. This is a great book to pack between the extra-long twin sheets and study lamp. (Sept.)
From School Library Journal:
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.—Brigeen Radoicich, Fresno County Office of Education, CA
