"The Dorm Room Diet" Daphne Oz

Today’s the last day to enter The Dorm Room Diet “Get A Tip, Give A Tip” contest for a chance to receive a free copy of the book written by Daphne Oz with a forward by her father and daytime TV host, Dr. Mehmet Oz.

To enter, simply leave a comment on this post giving your tip for staying healthy. Be sure to also check out our exclusive interview with Daphne.

In The Dorm Room Diet, Daphne writes about “Danger Zones” or situations where you may be tempted to eat unhealthy high sugar, high fat and low nutrient foods like while watching TV, studying or working late at night or in social situations. One way to counter this is by eating berries during these times.

“They take time to eat, come in small pieces, and are sweet enough to curb sugar cravings,” Daphne writes.

Don’t forget to buy berries organic whenever possible, as some of them, like blueberries and strawberries, are on the dirty dozen list of produce that contains the highest levels of pesticide residue.

And that’s the final tip of the day. What’s yours?

Recently we told you about chef Dave Lieberman, author of 10 Things You Need To Eat, and his bravado regarding his quinoa cooking skills.

Seems Dave recommends you buy his book to teach you how to cook it, versus reading the instructions off the package.

Having never tried Lieberman’s advice, we’ll bite our tongues, especially since he recommends some many other tasteful, vegetarian foods.

In the 10 list of things, only one item, seafood, isn’t plant based.

Take a look at some of the others you may want to add to your shelf or refrigerator.

Tomatoes–“Loaded with lycopene, a phytochemical that gives tomatoes their color; strong anti-cancer and cardiovascular-protective properties. Slightly sweet, savory and acidic.”

Avocados–“Loaded with monounsaturated fats and contain no cholesterol; high in potassium (60% more than a banana) and fiber; low in calories.”

Nuts–“Contain Omega 3 fatty acids, improves energy levels, lowers coronary heart disease, raises HDL cholesterol (good kind), lowers triglycerides (bad kind).”

Berries (all)–“Loaded with nutrients and enormous levels of antioxidants.”
