Will I lose weight if I am following a low-carb diet, and am practicing hot yoga!


Question: Will I lose weight if I am following a low-carb diet, and am practicing hot yoga?
I have had great success while following a low-carb diet. I believe that it is healthy, especially when you move on to phase 3 and 4 (of the Atkins diet) as you can add whole grains, etc. For now, I have just begun phase 1, and I did my first hot yoga class yesterday. How will following a low-carb diet and practicing hot yoga affect my ability to lose body fat, and what will I need to do to keep the weight coming off? Any information on this is greatly appreciated, thank you.

Answers:

Weight loss should be much more effective with exercise. Increasing dietary fat ratios to >80% of calories maximizes weight loss.

You might consider drinking a salt solution if you are not staying fully hydrated.

I recommend dissolving half teaspoon each of UNrefined salt, potassium & ascorbic acid (vit.C) in 6-8 oz of water & drink every morning to replenish electrolytes. I buy a salt substitute (NuSalt, NoSalt, Morton's Salt substitute, etc) for a cheap form of potassium. This should alleviate fatigue, headaches, dizziness or constipation caused by dehydration. Make sure you drink lots of water.

Refined salt may not be healthy, but UNrefined salt is vital to good health.

Salt and water work together to do important work in your body, including stimulating your metabolism, helping you detoxify, support your adrenals and making sure your nerves, hormones and immune system function properly.

Unrefined salt contains over 80 minerals. Natural (unrefined) Salt is 85 % Sodium Chloride and Processed (refined) Salt is 98 % Sodium Chloride. The refining process ensures that salt won't go rancid, but eliminates all of salt's life-sustaining properties.



Well, Yoga is mainly meant for Flexibility, not losing weight. The low-carb diet may work, but only if you do an exercise that involves cardiovascular activity.

There is one exercise that is pretty easy, and you can lose a few pounds every week. WALK. And i don't mean JUST walk, but Brisk Walking. What this is, is that you walk as fast as you can, without having to jog or run. Do this for 40-60 minutes a day and you WILL see a difference.

Not too many people believe that a simple brisk walk can help lose weight, but it definitely does better than jogging or even running. Why?

The Running/Jogging improves stamina by doing a lot at ONCE, while walking brisk-like has consistency, and by doing it for a long time without much stress, will help burn the fat. Simple as that.
