hola!

Empowering you to break free from diet culture and heal your relationship with food through cultural pride, self-love, and holistic wellness.

Saludos Amores 👋🏽

Hola, I’m Zariel aka zarigee the ditch la dieta rd.

I’m a bilingual non-diet dietitian and nutrition communicator. I help folks ditch la dieta and fall in love with every part of themselves, chichos included – because your body, just as it is, deserves to be celebrated. Healing your relationship with food is much more than your diet and I love helping women relearn how to rebuild trust in their bodies and celebrate their cultural roots, creating a world where people can love and nourish themselves authentically.
