When trying to burn fat and lose weight, many people decide to wear a sweat suit when exercising, or at other times, to try to increase their fat-burning. While many people feel like wearing a sweat suit is helping them burn fat faster, it may not actually help at all.
FAT LOSS CLAIMSSweat suits are synonymous with athletes who have to drop a significant amount of weight in a short span of time. It is common for boxers, martial artists and weightlifters to wear sweat suits right before a weigh in or even during pre-contest training to lose a few extra pounds. Companies use this trend as a way to promote their suits as fat-burning aids. DO THEY WORK?When wearing a sweat suit, you may well lose a lot of weight in a very short space of time, but this weight loss is simply water weight lost through sweat. This is not fat loss. Any weight loss results from wearing a sweat suit are temporary, and the weight will return once you are rehydrated. FAT LOSSThe only way to shed pounds permanently is to eat a sensible calorie-restricted diet and partake in an intensive exercise regimen. Fat loss can take time and should be seen as a long-term goal, not as a task that is suited for quick fixes. Aim to lose 1 to 2 lbs. per week from dieting and exercising. POTENTIAL DANGERSWhile sweat suits may have some benefit for dropping weight before a sporting contest, there are many risks involved. Sweating profusely and losing water will cause your body to become dehydrated and overheated and will lead to a mineral and electrolyte imbalance within the blood. In the past, sportsmen have even died from excessive dehydration before competitions. If you must use a sweat suit, only wear it for as long as you have to and be sure to rehydrate at the earliest opportunity. REFERENCE: www.livestrong.com
