"The Dorm Room Diet" Daphne Oz

Today’s tip in the Dorm Room Diet giveaway is all about budgeting. Sure, you need the right foods for energy, but it’s also about managing time and figuring out how to store you food in a tiny dorm room, cubicle or even in a studio apartment. It’s not just money that’s a part of the “budget.”

The Dorm Room Diet recommends keeping healthy, grab-and-go snacks handy for busy times and keeping small, nutrient packed foods like nuts, dried fruit, popcorn and peanut butter handy that won’t take up a lot of space in a refrigerator at work or home. Also, if you’re a college student, The Dorm Room Diet, advises checking out the cafeteria versus the restaurants on the off campus strip. You’re bound to find at least something your ethics and tastes are compatible with and it’s probably already paid for (by mom or dad, student loans, scholarships) as part of a campus meal plan.

Time magazine is featuring a short article on the practice of flexitarians, or people who eat vegetarian sometimes, but not completely.

Green lifestyle website Treehugger‘s founder Graham Hill and his “Weekday Vegetarian” concept is discussed, as well as praise for the movement by people involved with animal rights like Animal Liberation author Peter Singer and People for the Ethical Treatment of Animal’s president, Ingrid Newkirk.

“Absolute purists should be living in a cave,” says Newkirk. “Anybody who witnesses the suffering of animals and has a glimmer of hope of reducing that suffering can’t take the position that it’s all or nothing. We have to be pragmatic. Screw the principle.”

“The surge is due to a sense of a plateau,” Singer said. “You’ve already reached out to the base of strict vegetarians, and it’s hard to get beyond those numbers. People should go further, but it’s progress in the right direction.”

"The Dorm Room Diet" Daphne Oz

As part of our “Dorm Room Diet” book giveaway where we bring you a different tip from the book every day, today’s tip is about breakfast.

Every vegetarian should know how to whip up a simple breakfast tofu scramble, but that doesn’t mean they’ll remember to eat it in the 7:30 AM rush in between walking the dog, checking email and work/class. While it’s tempting to grab a sugary muffin or just swish juice down, Daphne Oz suggest you eat your biggest meal for breakfast in “The Dorm Room Diet.”

“I always try to live by the adage: breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dine like a pauper,” she writes, adding this method gives you more time to use the calories.

Shouldn’t be hard to do, considering the several breakfast recipes are included in her book like a breakfast sandwich with black beans and salsa on whole grain bread.

To enter to win, The Dorm Room Diet, simply leave a comment giving your tip for staying healthy.

Paul McCartney and Nancy Shevell were spotted at Phillipe restaurant in New York sharing vegetarian fare during what People called a romantic dinner. Wonder if the pair opted for lettuce wraps or chose to get steamy early in the evening.

Phillipe, which has restaurants in New York city, Los Angels, Miami and the Hamptons, features a “Steamed” menu with seasonal vegetables that come with or without tofu.

A nice way to eat veggies as a switch from raw or fried, as steaming some of them, like carrots, zucchini and broccoli, may preserve antioxidants.

Comedy Central presented The Roast of David Hasselhoff, where the famous took jabs, made wisecracks and downright humiliated the actor about his life, including some of the more embarrassing moments, like the video that made its way on the Internet of him lying on the floor drunk trying to eat a cheeseburger.

Former Baywatch actress and fellow castmate Pamela Anderson was present and she took the video as the opportunity to state her pro-vegetarian views.

“David, I have to say, when I saw the video of you lying on the floor — drunk, broken down, cheeseburger meat falling from your mouth — I felt so sad. For that cow.”

The video incident caused David to later reveal to the public he was a recovering alcoholic, which Anderson took a shot at as well.

“David took his role on Baywatch very seriously. You know, one time I actually saw him rescue a real person who was drowning. David rescued the man, pulled him ashore, gave him mouth-to-mouth…and, of course, the man immediately died of alcohol poisoning.”

The clip of Anderson’s jokes from the roast can be viewed below.

Rip Esselstyn

Rip Esselstyn got a congratulatory package from the Texas Beef Council after his book that describes the vegan diet that allowed the firefighters at his station to lose weight and improve their health, The Engine 2 Diet, became a success.

The Beef Council sent brisket to not only Rip’s house, but every fire house in Austin, Texas.

Some people have no manners, you know?

“At first I was pissed, but then I thought, This is amazing, because it shows how worried they are; it shows that they recognize that people’s consciousness is changing and that this is something for them to worry about,” Rip said. “I thought, Wow, how ballsy of them!”

The author and firefighter has an interview with Supervegan about tofu, vegan cheese, his partnership with Whole Foods and more.
