THE LATINA ANTI-DIET
Break away from diet culture while still honoring your body and incorporating cultural foods in this fresh, expansive guide from the registered dietitian and creator of Your Latina Nutritionist.
Diet culture is facing a reckoning, and intuitive eating has been leading the charge. The movement has taken the internet by storm, encouraging us to stop dieting and make food choices that feel good for our bodies rather than follow influencers and their shakes.
But intuitive eating is missing a key ingredient: culture. Like many movements, intuitive eating has become co-opted by a select fewplacing the focus on "mainstream" food while discounting cultural cuisines. But how can we gain a healthy attitude toward food when our foods - our arroz, habichuelas, and plátanosare left out of the conversation?
Dalina Soto is here to add them back to our plates.
As a registered dietitian, Soto understands the pros and cons of intuitive eating. As a first-generation Dominican American, she's also seen firsthand how this movement has only catered to a certain demographic. With her easy-to-follow CHULA method, Soto teaches us how to
- Challenge negative thoughts
- Honor our bodies and health
- Understand our needs
- Listen to our hunger
- Acknowledge our emotions
She gives us tools to confront diet culture and the whitewashing of food so we can go back to eating what we love while managing our health.
Engaging and incisive, The Latina Anti-Diet is for everyone who's been told to lay off the tortillas and swap their white rice for brown. Soto shows us that food is so much more than calories; it's about celebrating our culture and living a life full of flavor.
DALINA SOTO is a registered dietitian and positive health advocate who's goal is to help reclaim the joy and pleasure of diet-free living. She earned her Bachelor's Degree in Nutritional Sciences from PennState University, then went on to Immaculata University to complete her Dietetic Internship and Masters Degree in Nutrition Education.
