RE: [Ashtanga Yoga] Setting up for cleansing your system

09-04-2002, 07:39 AM

Good for you !!! Just keep at it. One day at a time, one practice session
at a time. Just go slow, breathe slow and then even slower and you will get
into the positions easier. Don't rush anything. All will come. Try to
adjust your diet to weight loss. More veg's, more salads, fruits, etc. It
is true. Try to lower your carb intake. Stick to good carbs (fruits, veg)
and stay away from the white breads, pasta's, sweets. Sweet potatoes
instead of white, brown rice. And, if you can fit in a good 30 min. brisk
walk daily you will see the weight start to come off. Slow is the word for
both the weight loss and the ashtanga practice.
Trust me, I am speaking from experience.
I wish you the best and welcome to the world of ashtanga!

Try a diet like eating only one item for a period of
two/three days. Just apples, or a cooked rice.
It would be hard but it would cleanse the system
immensely and also help ur practice

That's ridiculous. I've never heard such bad advice.
Far better to have a balanced diet, just less quantity.

If you try to deprive the body of the balance of nutrients it needs,
it will just start craving and you'll end up eating more to try and
find the missing elements.

'Just apples for two or three days' Really. :-/

Margee's advice is good, though, IMHO.

This is not bad advice. Some people go on ten day
diets of just eating one type of grain like
barley, wheat etc. Its intensely heat producing
and a tapas and gives a yang/solar shock to the body.

I have done barley+basil leaves for three days.
I have never felt better. Barley is MARS, so one feels

like a warrior. Try veerabhadrasana after eating
barley
for three days.

Of course if yoga is considered body building
it's a different thing.

I know many people who have gone on fasts for a week, 3 days, a month, etc.
and it is not the way to long-term success with weight management. In order
to do Ashtanga, especially in the beginning, you need energy. I still stick
to my version of healthy eating in smaller amounts and slow long-term weight
loss. The leaner you become the more energized you feel and the more
successful at your practice you will be.
What is IMHO??

One would have more energy if toxins are
less in the body. Any type of detoxification done in small
steps would increase body energy levels. Drinking turmeric/milk
is a good thing i have heard but never tried on my own.
There's a first time fear with anything, once that threshold is
crossed with some pain, a new view will appear.

All of the above IMHO (In my humble opinion)

I agree...the ten day brown rice "fast" is one of the backbones of
macrobiotic healing...it clears away toxins & strengthens
immunity on a physical level, and repolarizes one
bioenergetically, giving a yang 'blast' & strengthening the solar
chakra..don't have much experience w/other grains or astral
correspondance of grains...but the barley/Mars connection
sounds interesting...

Have you tried it?. I am yet to experience the full ten day.
I succeeded three days. It's very challenging but i was going to work
so could not handle the stress at work with this also.

Some aghoris do it with chilli's for ten days(I am just kidding:-))

But we were talking about weight loss, not cleansing!
I stand by what I said: an unbalanced diet does not lead to long-
term weight loss. You need to eat a bit of every food type, more of
some than others, but generally less in quantity to achieve weight
loss.

The below method will definitely help in weight loss.
The TAPAS will bring about changes in our eating
pattern automatically and the body will stop eating
food which people just eat to satisy the sense of
taste
(I should say the acquired sense of taste).I remember
when after i was on a diet, i went to cafe which
also sold pizza pieces and ordered cheez pizza
and after couple of bites i sensed that the cheez was
too old and it was having a very foul smell for me,
and stopped eating it. This is something i would have
devoured if was in pre-TAPAS state.
