Haha, if only it was that simple! It does burn some calories, sure, like any physical activity. But it's not a substitute for proper diet and exercise. I mean, I love my biryani, and one session isn't going to undo that, no?
Yes, it burns calories and can contribute to overall fitness, but it's part of a larger healthy lifestyle, not a sole solution for weight loss.
Honestly, I've tried so many things for weight loss, and while any activity helps, you can't rely on just one thing. It definitely contributes to overall physical activity and can reduce stress, which indirectly helps. But for real weight loss, consistency with diet and proper exercise is key.
Physical activity in any form is beneficial for the body and mind. It helps with energy flow and can reduce tension. If it is done with love and mindfulness, it can contribute to a healthy life, which includes a healthy weight. But don't forget disciplined eating and regular movement.
My mother used to say, 'Every movement is good movement!' And in a way, it's true, it burns calories. But for significant weight loss, it has to be a complete lifestyle change – controlled diet, regular exercise. Please don't rely only on this for your weight goals. Doctor's advice for a plan is always best.
It burns calories, so yeah, it helps a little. But don't expect miracles for weight loss.

My doctor actually explained this. While it does expend calories, it's generally not enough to be a primary weight loss strategy. A typical session might burn anywhere from 20-100 calories, which is less than a brisk walk. It's a good part of an active lifestyle, but needs to be combined with caloric deficit and regular exercise for actual weight loss.
From a practical standpoint, it's a form of physical activity, so it contributes to calorie burn. But you'd need a lot of it to make a significant dent in weight loss, which isn't realistic for most. Focus on balanced diet and consistent exercise for tangible results; consider this a bonus.
