‘Dorm Diet,’ RU Fit tip the scales By Jess Decina

Balancing classes, homework, clubs and perhaps even a dose of social life is arguably one of the most difficult challenges for college students. So it’s no surprise that adding “maintaining a healthy lifestyle” to the teetering pile of commitments seems a little impossible. Just ask Amy Coughlin, a sophomore elementary education major. When she arrived at Rider last fall, she didn’t think she would have a problem eating healthy. “When I first got here, it wasn’t bad,” she said. “It was easy because there was lots of food to choose.” Then, Coughlin and her friends discovered a downfall: the Bronc Diner. “It went downhill from there,” she said. But there’s hope for Coughlin and other students who fall prey to poor eating habits: The Dorm Room Diet, written by Princeton University senior Daphne Oz, the daughter of Oprah Winfrey’s health guru Dr. Mehmet Oz. The Dorm Room Diet approaches college eating habits realistically, stress- ing that students should try and eat only Photo by Stephanie Nardi when they’re hungry and to eat every Experts agree: eating healthy snacks and getting plenty of exercise are the best ways to keep the numbers on the scale two or three hours to keep their bodies down.
