| Interview: ‘Dorm Room Diet’ author Daphne Oz
Daphne Oz, daughter of heart surgeon and author Mehmet Oz, lost weight, and went on to write a book about it, The Dorm Room Diet. We spoke with her about her book and her diet advice for college students. CalorieLab: Why did you write The Dorm Room Diet? Oz: I have a father and two grandfathers who are heart surgeons and a grandma who is a specialist in complimentary medicine. With all these medical people in my family, I grew up hearing about what I should be eating and how I should be exercising to maintain ideal health, but from the time I was seven until I was seventeen I was overweight. I was only able to lose, and keep off, the extra pounds I was lugging around once I stopped treating food as an emotional crutch and put it back into perspective as the fuel that it is.

Wild Waters Launches First Vitamin-powered Naturally-flavored ...
31/08/06 A new beverage brand, Wild Waters, launches the first vitamin-powered, naturally-flavored bottled water made just for kids. Wild Waters boasts 60 to 70 percent less sugar and calories than the leading sugary juices and soft drinks and is free of any controversial artificial sweeteners or high fructose corn syrup. Packed with the specific nutrients identified by the USDA as lacking in children's diets, Wild Waters is available in six great fruit flavors kids love and parents can feel good about buying. Water may be the healthiest beverage on earth, but kids find it boring regardless of predictable marketing gimmicks like cartoon characters on the labels. Kids want flavor and a brand of their own, not just a shrunken version of their parents' drink. Unlike other bottled kids beverages, Wild Waters blends the taste and look kids want with the important nutritional value parents approve.

VARUN BAHL kitted out vitamin pills last season for the audience. Yesterday he offered anti-ageing cream to acclimatise the audience to a collection called Middle Age. I am not that young any more in terms of my professional experience. Middle age is also a state of experience, Bahl says. His coming of age was apparent in classy dresses, skirts and shrugs with trademark tonal embroidery, cutwork and simplicity of design.
