There are countless diets, cleanses,
and 30-day challenges all geared to
help people lose weight, heal their
digestion, and feel more energy. Yet,
these temporary protocols fall short
when it comes to true
transformation. With all of the
nutrition guidance available, why do
millions of people weigh more than
they want and feel anxious and
depressed about it?
Nutrition expert Carly Pollack lived
this vicious cycle until trial and error,
and over a decade of academic study
and self-healing, led her to the
incredible insights she’s shared with
thousands. In Feed Your Soul:
Nutritional Wisdom to Lose
Weight Permanently and Live
Fulfilled, she presents her unique
understanding of body science, brain
wiring, and spiritual principles to
facilitate real, long-term change. We
hope you’ll enjoy this short Q and A
with Carly about the book.
Let’s start by having you tell us

come from fear, and how to train
ourselves to do, say and eat the right
things.

kept telling me, “you should write a
book.” Then the inner whisper
started, “You have something good
here. You have something to say that
can help heal people and help them
live a higher quality of life.” I didn’t

like as far as nutrition went, it’s all
been said. Too much has been said.
But I couldn’t shake the whisper, so
finally, I just gave in and started
writing.
Why is the inner work the most
important piece of weight loss?
Our plate is a reflection of our inner
state. Our food behaviors stem from
our mind’s stories and beliefs. If you
don’t change your views, you can’t
change your behavior long term. For
me, I’m not impressed by short-term
weight loss. I’ve done it a million
times. I’m looking for a permanent
change, and that can only happen
from the inside out.
You say in the book that the
opposite of fear is love, then the
