Interesting article.

Because the link between yoga and weight loss has more to do with increasing the awareness of your body from yoga practice.

When you get more aligned, when you get better balanced, when you learn to tune into what is happening in your body…

you will find that you just no longer want to eat junk like…

Potato Chips
Friend Food
Fast Food

And yes, even meat.

Keep on practicing your yoga.
