does more sweat equal more fat loss?

Post by thekizzbizz »

im having trouble sweating as much as i used to even after an intense cardio workout. before, after i have finished working out shirt would be literally be drenched in sweat like i had taken a shower in it, and now after doing sprints uphill for 40 minutes and then running back down hill, when i get back to car shirt is still dry, only the neck line part of shirt is wet.. and i will be wearing sweats! do i need to run faster and longer or something to make sure im still losing fat? i think i still have about 20lbs left to go before i can see six pack.

You may sweat less if you're weighing less, as you shouldn't get as hot now when you exercise. I'm the classic ectomorph but I don't sweat much, but mesomorphs and endomorphs with an existing weight issue, would sweat more it's almost guaranteed in every case.

The one exeption to the rule I can think of being Hyperhidrosis, where any individual regardless of body type, is prone to sweating profusely, even after frequent daily uses of sprays. I believe such a condition is treatable with lasering of the sweat glands, or some kind of botox treatment.

Possibly you may have less water retention as well, which might reduce sweat.
