I lost 3kg after 3 months of intense practice(long leave from work) of hatha and power yoga, averaging around 2 classes each day and have been keeping it off until now. During the 3 months of intense practice, I realised that like you, I changed my eating habit as one cannot eat a full meal before a class. And so it helped me to lose weight. But once I am back to my normal workday and able to attend only 1 class per day, my appetite increased instead but luckily I did not regain the weight. I agree that my body will probably thankful to be relieved of the meat/seafood diet at times which is why we have detox regimes to clear the body of "muck". But often I find without eating meat, I feel weak and even more hungry. Arrrgh. It does not help either that Singapore is a food paradise! :P Indeed weight loss is an added bonus for us!

After 1+ year of relatively intense Bikram, I eat more veggies and prefer ligher meals... I don't know whether there's correlation between flexibility and veggie food, but I think by avoiding toxics from meat-digestion (especially seafood), the body will be relieved. As another good news for weight watchers, though this is not my original intention for doing yoga, I dropped 10 pounds in one year.
