Sweating Off Calories?

Sweating causes you to lose water weight. If you sweat because of exercise, you can lose fat because the exercise can cause you to tap into your energy reserves (fat cells). After you eat, you store glycogen in the liver, if yo do not use this energy source, it can be converted to fat. Conversely, when exercising, after you have used all the glycogen stored in the liver, you begin to burn fat for energy. There are other variables such as aerobic VS. anaerobic exercise, but this is the general idea.

i believe the first response here. that to lose fat weight, you need to exercise. sweating doesn't do the job. we store fats in our bodies and these fats can only be release through exercise. also, we have to hasten our metabolism so we get to use more fats and energy and they won't get stored as just fats around our bellies.

when you sweat, u burn some calories. or even just the mere fact of standing, you are alreay burning a little amount of calories you have! keep sweating and youll end up losing more calories.

If you lost fat just from sweating with no exercise (sauna) people who are overweight could get skinny just by going in a sauna everyday. We all know that doesn't happen. Calories are only burned by muscles using energy.
