I sometimes hear stories about people who have undergone considerable training in yoga, and who eat very little. For example, Anandamayi Ma, who appears in "The Autobiography of a Yogi," is a saint who lives on prasad (food offerings) from temples, and I occasionally hear similar stories.

Of course, I haven't reached that level myself. However, recently, the energy flowing from the Sahasrara chakra has increased, and I've found that I don't need to eat as much to feel energetic. This sudden change has resulted in a weight loss of about 2 kg in one month, and about 3 kg in one and a half months, which is a good rate of weight loss. Previously, no matter how much I tried to lose weight by taking supplements or paying attention to my diet, my weight hardly changed, and I maintained the same weight. However, this time, my weight is gradually decreasing at a good pace, and I think it's likely due to a combination of energy and reduced food intake, rather than any illness.

When my weight exceeded a certain level and increased too much, I would restrict my diet or take supplements to bring it back to a basic weight. However, I had mistakenly thought that the weight level I had before was the minimum. But it turns out that wasn't the case. I haven't specifically increased my exercise or changed any supplements, and there's nothing else that comes to mind.

Although I haven't reached that level yet, I believe that it is true that if you can draw energy from the Sahasrara chakra or some other channel, your food intake will decrease.

I think this is likely related to people's food intake, even if they are not consciously aware of it. If the chakras or energy pathways (nadis in yoga) are blocked, the body cannot maintain its functions without taking in a large amount of energy from the outside, which leads to increased food intake and weight gain. In addition, the food available nowadays often contains a lot of fried foods, which are low in prana (life energy in yoga). Even if the food tastes good, the lack of prana can cause hunger and weakness, leading to increased food intake.

While it is necessary to eat enough, especially when young, to build a strong body, once that stage is passed, life energy becomes more important than the physical body for maintaining the body. Both are necessary when young, but as you grow, life energy becomes more important. When that happens, if you eat foods that are low in prana, such as fried foods made with old oil, or foods that appear to be unhealthy (but may taste good), you will lack prana, which leads to increased food intake and, as a result, weight gain. While some food is necessary to maintain the physical body, it is equally important to take in prana, and the best food would be one that can provide both. However, nowadays, frozen foods, convenience store foods, and instant foods are becoming more common, which can lead to a lack of prana.

There is also a method to replenish the lack of prana by drawing energy (prana) from the Sahasrara chakra. Of course, eating a diet rich in prana is also a good method. Prana is also included in meals made with love, and the reason why a mother's home cooking tastes so good is because her prana (life energy) is infused into the cooking. If you have a mother who makes home-cooked meals for you, you are fortunate, and that can also replenish your prana. However, if you have a mother who is overly controlling or wants to control her child, not only prana but also her aura of control is infused into the food, so that is a mixed blessing. When eating out, you don't know who is cooking the food, so you may end up absorbing the aura of someone you don't know. If a cook is angry, some of that anger will be transferred to the food, and if a cook is happy, you will receive some of that happiness.

Personally, I have recently been drawing prana (life energy) from the Sahasrara chakra, so my diet has become relatively simple. With frozen foods, the original ingredients have almost no aura (prana), so you cannot obtain prana from the ingredients themselves. However, you can say that, as a trade-off, you are not affected by the unknown aura of the cook, so it is safe.

Speaking of something a little different, it seems like a diet method using yoga or spirituality could also be possible. However, it might be a bit too advanced.
