I heard that the more clothes you wear like when you work out or walk the more calories and carbs you burn because you sweat more....is that true or false?

It is true, you will sweat more. However most of what you lose will be water weight. It is beneficial to do, but not so much so that its a huge factor. if you were trying to make weight for a competition or fight, then layers are good to make weight, but usually thats just to eliminate water weight

I think that the answer is VRAI (true) et FAUX (false). True and false. True, it will help you "lose" more weight, but false, because it won't be through burning more calories/carbs. It will be from your body sweating, which means that it will be purely water weight that you are losing through dehydration. What IS beneficial is exercising for 15-30 minutes, 3-4 or 5 times a week and maintaining a healthy meal plan. Hope this helps! :)

False. Also being dehydrated makes the carbs in your body store even more water, therefore making you gain even more weight. Plus you will look bloated. You should weigh yourself before you workout, and after you workout. Drink water the whole time. You should try to weigh the same after you work out. I have seen people lose 10 pounds in about an hour from sweating. NOT GOOD. So make sure you weigh the same after a workout.

If you sweat more then you lose more water weight, yes. But is that what you should do? It is uncomfortable and if you get too dehydrated it can be dangerous to sweat too much. So wearing more clothes to "sweat out" weight is not the best idea.

I have heard that too, but you have to be careful that your body doesn't overheat. You could pass out. I don't think you burn more carbs either..just calories. And you should probably drink alot more water too!!

True. Chewing gum also burns calories. Two sticks at a time.

Err... It would make sense, since your body would create more heat making you sweat more. And because of the extra weight of the clothing, it would be heavier so you can use more energy to move?

It's not calories you're burning. You're just losing water (sweat). You'll gain it all back the next time you eat/drink.

False - Weight loss comes from converting fat into energy.. Not sweating....

Kinda true, but more than likely, false
