Why should you join our friendly dieting community?
Do you want to lose 5, 10, 15 pounds and just can't make it happen?
Need to get ready for a wedding or beach vacation? Maybe it's leftover baby weight
or perhaps it's a beer belly (which brewed up in college). No matter
where the weight came from, we can help you take it off. We are not here to sell
you anything - we promise & it's all free. All we do is put a
wealth of weight-loss information at your finger tips, give you access to experts,
fun weight-loss information, tracking tools, easy to follow meal plans, plus a
rock-strong community of other dieters to offer cheerleading, and best of all, friendship.
You have nothing to lose, except for that extra weight, of course.

A Nutritionist Weighs in...
The Dorm Room Diet is great reading material for college students. It provides practical advice on how to eat healthy when faced with so many challenges on a college campus. It encourages healthy foods and offers snack ideas for those wee hours in the morning when you are still studying! Exercise is also encouraged, with reasonable and flexible recommendations. Although a multivitamin is a good recommendation for a college student who may be falling short on his or her vitamins and minerals, I do not think it is necessary to take all of the other recommended supplements, especially without medical supervision.
Is The Dorm Room Diet practical?
The Dorm Room Diet recommends making healthy choices in the dining hall and avoiding late-night binges on junk food. For some, this may not seem practical. Students may not be willing to give up this all too common and unhealthy college habit. It may also be challenging to fit in the exercise recommended, but it is a good motivator to try and get at least some exercise while away at college. The Dorm Room Diet is worthwhile to learn about if you have time for a quick-read on top of your assignments. At the very least, you will learn what not to do if your goal is to return home Christmas break the same size you were when you left in August.
