    Hello,

    I just started Bikram yoga 2 weeks ago and I’ve gained 5 pounds. I feel bloated and every time I eat or drink something I feel worse. I didn’t change my eating habits, actually I think they are better. For breakfast and mid-morning snack I had a handful of almonds, banana and a piece of string cheese and I got so bloated. I practice about 3 times per week and even the nights I practice I don’t even eat dinner. Why is this happening and what can I do to make this go away?

    Thank you!

    Hello Wendy

    It’s disconcerting when you turn up with valid expectations and the opposite occurs! Your question is very commonly asked. Most recently it was responded to here!

    Take a look, and if you have time you can explore the section on Weight Loss (in the General Hot Yoga Discussion threads) about 1/3 down the main forum page where you will find quite a bit about bloating. But it will probably be solved by the link above.

    Whether or not you are doing yoga to lose weight, this problem DOES affect many yogis.

    On a positive note, isn’t it wonderful that your food habits seem to have improved just since going to class?

    It does occur to me that a small amount of indigestion could be occurring with food choices but primarily check out the other thread.

    Namaste
    Gabrielle 🙂
