Rompe con la cultura de las dietas sin dejar de honrar tu cuerpo ni tus raíces con La antidieta para latinas, el esperado debut de la dietista registrada y creadora de Your Latina Nutritionist, Dalina Soto.

En los últimos años, la alimentación intuitiva ha inspirado a millones a dejar atrás las dietas estrictas y elegir lo que realmente hace sentir bien a sus cuerpos. Sin embargo, a este movimiento le ha faltado un ingrediente esencial: la cultura. Mientras se ha enfocado en alimentos “mainstream”, las comidas latinas —nuestro arroz, habichuelas, plátanos y tortillas— han quedado fuera de la conversación sobre la alimentación saludable.

Con La antidieta para latinas, Soto devuelve esos sabores a la mesa. Desde su experiencia como hija de inmigrantes dominicanos y profesional de la nutrición, ofrece una perspectiva inclusiva que reconoce el valor de la gastronomía latina y la integra en una visión equilibrada de la salud. Este libro no solo cuestiona los mitos de las dietas, sino que también invita a sanar la relación con la comida y el cuerpo desde un enfoque culturalmente relevante.

El libro presenta el método CHULA, un marco claro y transformador para lograr una vida plena y saludable:
  • Confronta tus pensamientos negativos.
  • Honra tu cuerpo y tu salud.
  • Ubica tus necesidades.
  • Llénate según tu hambre y tu saciedad.
  • Acepta tus emociones.
Con un estilo cercano, divertido y empoderador, Soto nos recuerda que la comida es mucho más que calorías: es identidad, cultura, familia y bienestar integral. La antidieta para latinas es el libro para quienes han escuchado que deben dejar las tortillas o cambiar el arroz blanco por integral, y buscan una forma de alimentación sin restricciones, en armonía con su cultura y con su salud.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

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, by encouraging us to stop dieting and make food choices that feel good for our bodies rather than following 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 few—placing the focus on “mainstream” food while discounting cultural cuisines. But how can we gain a healthy attitude towards food when our foods—our arroz, habichuelas, plátanos—are 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, and 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 will teach 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.
