What is your opinion of the Kundalini yoga weight loss results we were told about?
You need to find peace with the reality that Kundalini yoga isn’t a miracle weight loss
method.
Kundalini yoga is supposed to awaken your inner energy, revving up your metabolism as
well as your chakras.
All those thin yogis are skinny because they learn control over their appetites, not because
they are burning calories via connection to a sacred fire.
Yoga is known for making people thin.
Yoga makes you flexible, and it can improve your balance. However, yoga won’t burn calories
above the level of doing housework.
I heard that it could raise your blood pressure and heart rate.
It has been blamed for everything from mood swings to loss of appetite for over-eating.
Those adverse side-effects only happen when you aren’t ready for what it can do for
you. That’s why it should only be done by the prepared.
If you want to have faith in something, go find a religion, not a diet plan. Well, I
suppose most vegetarians and all vegans are Mother Earth worshippers, so the two aren’t
exclusive.
Bikram or hot yoga leads to weight loss.
You get the same benefit from diuretics without the risk of heat stroke.
You burn around five calories a minute doing yoga.
In general, it is closer to three or four calories a minute, maybe 200 calories an hour.
You’ll burn three times that practicing with a kettlebell.
There have been studies that showed that fat people who did yoga but nothing else lost
more weight than those who did nothing at all.
I suppose focusing on your body and seeking enlightenment leads to someone occasionally
pushing away the plate instead of taking a second helping.
It reduces your stress level.
That would reduce stress eating, if that’s one of the reasons you are fat.
You act like I’m asking you to sit in a corner and stare at the paint drying.
Isn’t that what yoga is?
No, because they usually suggest keeping your eyes closed.
