The New Black Cultural Diet (TM) is designed to help us modify and change our diet, exercise, physical fitness and health pattern all within our cultural value and health belief system. The New Black Cultural Diet plan focuses upon four major components:
Body Image
Food Selection
Food Preparation
Exercise and Physical FitnessThe New Black Cultural Diet (TM) IS about:
Finding out the true "cultural" reason (cause) why it is hard for us to maintain a healthy regimen and why it is hard for us to lose weight on a long-term basis.

PODCAST SHOW #1 - BODY IMAGEThe New Black Cultural Diet (TM) is also designed around the basic concept of "culture" and its impact on those who are trying to maintain a healthy regimen or trying to lose weight.
We realize that the New Black Cultural Diet touches on a number of sensitive issues within the African American community. In fact, most of these topics are so sensitive within the African American community that most African Americans are hesitant to talk about them for fear of being outcast by betraying this "black cultural code of silence" when issues hit too close to home. Indeed, we do understand the breadth of this sensitive cultural topic and that is why we have designed this program in a respectful manner.
Thus, the New Black Cultural Diet is NOT about:
Counting Calories
Counting Carbs
Counting Specific foods
The New Black Cultural Diet website is establishing a new forum to talk, discuss, learn and share information on health, diet, body image, exercise and physical fitness as it relates to African Americans and all who share similar cultural beliefs, patterns and lifestyles.
