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.
“Witty and warm, The Latina Anti-Diet is the perfect way to begin to heal your relationship with food and by proxy your body.”—Mikki Kendall, New York Times bestselling author of Hood Feminism
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 few—placing 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 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. 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.

      Latina registered dietitian and Instagram food influencer Soto delivers an empowering resource by taking a new, cultural approach to healthy eating. Drawing on science and creating a rich cultural context, Soto dismantles mainstream diet culture and advocates for practical strategies, such as adding variety and nutrients to meals rather than focusing on restriction. She challenges misconceptions about traditional Latinx foods, spotlighting the nutritional value of Latin American cultural staples. Soto's engaging, conversational tone makes her suggestions feel like advice from a trusted friend. She refers to readers as chulas (attractive women), then proposes the CHULA method--"Challenge the Negative Thoughts," "Honor Your Body and Health," "Understand Your Needs," "Listen to Your Hunger and Fullness," "Acknowledge Your Emotions." By blending professional expertise and a celebration of cultural heritage, Soto inspires readers to embrace full-flavor living and redefine food as a source of joy and nourishment. This must-read is perfect for anyone seeking to heal their relationship with food while honoring authenticity and well-being.
