Buy Now Read MoreDiet 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.
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. Dalina shows us that food is so much more than calories — it’s about celebrating our culture and living a life full of flavor.
In this book, Dalina teaches us how to:
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 — on our terms.
"Wholesome, thoughtful, and well-written book about dismantling diet culture and adding more racial justice and racial awareness to intuitive eating. Dalina Soto does a nice job both addressing social determinants of health/food consumption and providing helpful tips about food selection and hunger/fullness on an individual level. While those who are familiar with intuitive eating and racial justice movements related to food may not find much mind-blowingly new about the content in this book, I feel like these reminders to honor our bodies and fight back against the cult of thinness are beneficial in a culture still so steeped in fatphobia and racism."
"As a Boricua, I was often told that the foods I knew and loved were bad, not healthy, to skip them all together. I internalized a lot of shame around eating as a result, and I have struggled with disordered eating and toxic relationships to exercise for the majority of my life. As I have restarted my wellness journey for 2025, I was trying to find a way to read and learn more about food in a way that wasn’t Eurocentric and had real truths about food and health. This book was everything I needed for that and more. The relief I feel at knowing that my food is and always will be a beautiful thing, that I can live a fulfilling life without restrictions in my foods and move my body the way I want, and have it be enough. I’m forever grateful to Dalina for her wisdom and for being a much needed voice in the health community. Everyone go read this book!!!"
"This was an amazing book! I loved all the inspiring and motivational stories. I loved how it was real and based on facts, I loved how it took our culture and its history and shed light on a lot of the negative stereotypes that we’ve been led to believe. I laughed out loud at times and felt inspired to continue my journey on getting healthy my way and with my Mexican recipes."
"I really appreciated the intro to intuitive eating and the connections made to my lived experiences. I felt like it was a friend talking to me as I read and as a result, I just wanted to keep reading. She makes a few book and account recommendations throughout the book — all have been fantastic. I’m currently on a health journey myself and reading the book now helped me rethink how I want to approach my own relationship with food moving forward."
