Many friends have had the experience of exercising to lose weight. When the weather is hot, they run for 1 hour, covered in sweat, and then weigh themselves, and they will find that they have lost several pounds. Therefore, many people think that there is some inevitable connection between losing weight and sweating. Sweating more is equal to losing weight quickly. Even at this point, there are all kinds of props on the internet that make you sweat, such as the "sweaty clothes" that caught fire a while ago.
But in fact, the amount of perspiration is not necessarily related to the weight loss effect. The same fat man, there is no difference between a fat man who sweats more in fitness and a fat man who sweats less! Let's start with why.
First, 1 day lost 20 kg.
/kloc-in 0/3 years, a fitness expert once did an experiment, that is, in one day, through a lot of high-temperature exercise, the body drained a lot and sweated a lot, and then lost 20 kilograms in one day. Later, he regained his weight by drinking water in the next few days. Although he has lost weight, all this weight is actually water in his body.
Second, how is fat excreted?
Many people think that sweating is a good way to lose weight, in fact, because they think that fat is excreted through sweat during weight loss. Isn't there a proverb? What you are trying to sweat today is the tears of fat flowing in your body, but in fact, the elimination of fat is not discharged through sweat. After the fat is oxidized in the body, more than 80% of the fat is finally converted into carbon dioxide and discharged by the body, and less than 20% of the fat is converted into water, including urine, so don't count on it. Sweating is to reduce fat.
Third, can high-temperature exercise lose weight faster?
After many experiments, it is shown that there is little difference in calorie consumption under the same exercise intensity, that is to say, exercise at high temperature can't make you lose weight faster, but it will make you more tired psychologically, while long-term fitness training at high temperature is more likely to lead to rhabdomyolysis syndrome, dehydration and electrolyte disorder, which will affect your health.
Therefore, the amount of perspiration does not prove the quality of your weight loss effect. Instead of losing weight by sweating, it is better to work hard on diet and exercise, and the effect will be better.
