what?

Are you asking "is hard Chi Kung good for losing weight?", "Is there some hard Chi Kung that is good for losing weight?", or "Is there some other eastern exercise that is good for losing weight?"

The answer to all those questions is no. No, no and no. Not only that, but it's a commonly perpetuated FITNESS MYTH that physical activity is associated with low body fat percentage. In fact, there is a positive correlation between activity and mass (more activity = more mass). The fact of the matter is, that the best way to control weight is through diet. Not just WHAT you eat, but WHEN you eat it. For more information, visit the Nutrition section of the health and fitness forum on MAP.

Wow

I sound like a bloody commercial.

Thanks Does anyone know of any good eastern diets for eight lose? I follow what I can of the taoist diet ie no dairy. should I make a new topic in the nutrition section?

I use the ancient Taoist weight loss method called "precision nutrition." It's worked well for me, and it's very . . . eastern. :p :D
