No, Yoga isn't physical exercise. You don't have to strain your body.

We don't lose fat by exhausting ourselves. We lose fat when the body is able to process it and remove it.
Traditional forms of exercise improve our vitality by cycling our energy and giving us a net boost of yang energy, however they do require an initial input of energy where some energy is lost. Yoga, however, gives a larger boost to vitality without this initial loss. Unlike exercising the muscles, yoga focuses on the organs themselves.
Similarly, our diet is broken down by our stomach and distributing throughout the body in a manner analogous to solar energy. However, if we eat too much or eat when we are weakened, the digestive process is damaged and the food ends up as debris in the body. This debris is what builds into fat, cholesterol, and other congestive items.
Junk food items like sugar, processed foods, and other chemical poisons are the most likely to create fat, as well as inflammation which makes it much harder to remove fat (as the inflammatory heat coagulates and restricts the damp debris into more stubborn situations).
While meat and animal fats are high in calories, they are less likely to create these byproducts. Once they are safely processed by the stomach, they yield a considerable amount of energy which can be reinvested back into the digestion. The same is true for carbs like rice, as opposed to candy.
Using the calorie system will falsely make someone restrict our natural foods. rather than focusing on the toxic part. Similarly, they may believe the only exercise forms for losing weight are those which are the most exhausting. It is definitely possible to overexert yourself and therefore harm your digestion, as all energy went to the work effort.
To lose weight, we need to increase our total energy pool, then safely direct this into means of purging debris and inflammation from the body. The debris represents a yin-based pathogen which needs yang energy to remove, and the opposite is true for inflammation. Beyond normal physical means, spiritual efforts will make this, and other forms of healing, much more easily obtained.

Yoga will work as an exercise system, as will starting by removing any junk food from the diet. Further modifications can be done after that.

My post above explained why the calorie system is silly. Basically, it makes no distinction between the quality of nutrients, which is actually crucial for weight loss, as that is fueled by vitality. The focus should be on promoting vitality, not just removing calories.

Yeah well, it's a given to take count of carbohydrates, protein, and fats on top of calories. Those are listed on the packages, so there is no problem there.Blitzkreig [JG said:

The way the calorie system has been *presented* is total nonsense. We are on the same side that excess leads to gaining weight but if we all look it the way Blitzkreig explained then it makes much more sense why someone will lose fat while eating at a surplus where said person is also doing yoga and some sort of cardio exercise while at same time growing muscle mass because of work outs.
I think it still may be possible without the cardio but people should be getting some type of it regardless.
Seeing it the way mainstream puts it gives confusion as to how this process happens while Blitzkreig's explanation makes much more sense and logical. I have heard actual natty body builders say almost the same thing as well.
