Well, I have lost well over a hundred pounds since starting Bikram yoga, going from morbidly obese to just a little overweight. I’m not where I want to be yet, but I’m close.
As to my diet, in the beginning I just ate what I wanted to, as I always had. That is, I wasn’t on a weight loss diet. The weight just started to fall off. But soon an odd thing started to happen. I wasn’t consciously eating better, I just found myself unconsciously making better food decisions. I never did “diet” and I lost most of that weight without it. Then about six months ago, after reading “The China Study” and watching “Forks Over Knives,” I decided to take a Whole Foods Plant Based approach to eating. I’m not fanatical about it—I still have my sushi once a week—but for the most part, I eat very differently now, very healthily. (And I should mention Gabrielle Raiz’s books on smoothies and salads have been extremely helpful.)
That’s my story. Does that help?
