Aléjate de las dietas y honra tu cuerpo incorporando alimentos propios de nuestras culturas con esta nueva y amplia guía de la dietista registrada y creadora de Your Latina Nutritionist.
La cultura de la dieta ha perdido validez. La nutrición se está renovando y la alimentación intuitiva lidera el cambio. El movimiento arrasa en Internet, animándonos a dejar los regímenes restrictivos y a elegir alimentos que le hagan bien a nuestro cuerpo, en lugar de seguir a personas influyentes, con cuerpos distintos...y sus licuados. Sin embargo, a la alimentación intuitiva le falta un ingrediente clave: la cultura. Como muchos movimientos, este ha sido asimilado por unos pocos elegidos, poniendo el foco en la comida "convencional" y descartando las cocinas provenientes de otras culturas. Cómo podemos tener una actitud saludable hacia la comida cuando los alimentos latinos, (arroz, frijoles, plátanos) quedan fuera de la conversación? Dalina Soto está aquí para agregarlos de nuevo a nuestros platillos. Este libro es para todas aquellas a quienes les han dicho que dejen las tortillas o intercambien el arroz blanco por el integral. Nos muestra que la comida va más allá de las calorías: se trata de celebrar nuestra cultura y apostar por una vida llena de sabor. Como dietista registrada, Soto comprende los pros y los contras de la alimentación intuitiva y, como dominicana estadounidense de primera generación, nos da las herramientas para regresar a nuestras prácticas alimenticias mientras cuidamos nuestra 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 thoughtsHonor 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.
