A lot of us Cubanitas are all about the rice and beans, guava and cream cheese and barbecues caja china style. Do we have to give up these foods and eat salad all day long for a pageant figure?

I don't like the word "diet" and anyone who has attempted one probably knows they don't work. Unfortunately for us Cubanitas, we have to work extra hard to tone those hips and thighs. Eating healthy and a regular fitness routine needs be part of your lifestyle, not just something you do occasionally. I personally hate exercising, but really enjoy yoga and pilates; both are great for achieving a long and lean body. As far as food goes, I recently started following Kimberly Snyder's "The Beauty Detox" and highly recommend it. (read more at Miami New Times)
