It’s a question that gets asked more often than you might think, and we wanted to know what’s the right way to do it.
So we asked the experts.
The experts said it depends on how you eat, what you eat and how your body reacts to the food.
“You want to eat something you’re really happy with, because that’s the way your soul is feeling,” says Dr Jennifer Bunn, a nutritionist and lecturer at the University of Melbourne.
“When you’re eating in moderation, you want to avoid foods that are overly sweet, high in sugar, and can trigger the release of the satiety hormone [satiety-stimulating hormone].
You also want to be able to eat as much as you need to eat, and that means eating something with a high glycemic index and a high protein content.
You can also reduce the amount of fat you’re putting on your diet by adding in some fruit, vegetables and protein bars.”
The most common type of soul eater is a dieter who’s not particularly concerned about what they eat.
They might not know they’re eating soul food, but they know they want to because they’re hungry and they feel like they’re about to go mad.
“If you’re trying to lose weight and you’re not really looking to lose fat, you’re going to be really surprised when you try to eat soul food,” Dr Bunn says.
“The good news is it’s very easy to do, especially if you’ve got the right food.
It’s actually quite simple, you just need to learn how to do soul food.”

“Baking makes it taste really good,” Dr Cunn says, “but you need a really good oven to achieve a good, creamy texture.
You need to have a very low oven temperature, because the ovens are very sensitive to the moisture content.”
