Food Sobriety is for anyone who wants to lose weight. More than a diet, it offers a philosophical alternative to the neurosis of our modern food culture based on the dietary traditions of rural Latin America.The science behind Food Sobriety is light and fun, while the recipes and menus provided are easy and inexpensive. What¿s more, while working to improve your health, you will be engaged in a spirited exploration of the intersection of diet, economics, social justice, racism, and exploitation.The Food Sobriety approach was inspired by the author¿s own experiences with weight loss while working in Nicaragua. Nicaragua is the second poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, yet it has obesity rates on a par with the those in the USA. Only a generation ago, Nicaragua had near zero obesity. How this change happened so captivated author Dan Fenyvesi that he left his ordinary life as a dietitian and nutrition professor to spend three years in Nicaragua, including ¿ via a Fulbright Scholar grant ¿ a year teaching at the National University of Nicaragua.In Fenyvesi¿s studies, he found that Nicaraguans who still ate a traditional diet were slim and fit. Adopting elements of both their diet and their refreshing perspective on life, Fenyvesi has since helped hundreds of his North American patients lose weight.
