Finally, a weight-loss plan designed to combat the unwanted freshman 15.

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. The daughter of Dr. Mehmet Oz, renowned cardiologist and weight-loss expert, has put together the ultimate back-to-school guide with the Dorm Room Diet.

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

Unlike other diets, The Dorm Room Diet doesn't advocate deprivation. After all, it is college. Instead Daphne's goal is to steer students in the light direction by giving them information 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. Acceptable treats include coffee, bread dipped in olive oil and chocolate -- all in moderation.
