Daphne Oz's virtual syllabus of good health is geared to help students begin to live healthy while enjoying the best years of their lives. She provides readers with an 8-step program for a more healthy lifestyle.

As opposed to other diets, The Dorm Room Diet does not advocate deprivation. After all, it is college. Instead Daphne's goal is to show students the right direction by giving them info on everything from drinking to a healthy diet.

She encourages foods such as low=fat, low-sugar yogurt, fresh fruit, whole wheat toast, low-fat cheese, instant oatmeal, high-fiber, low-sugar breakfast cereal while avoiding alcohol, full-fat cheese and simple carbs. Good treats include coffee, bread dipped in olive oil and chocolate -- all in moderation.
