Burning calories make you sweat.

Sweating itself does not burn any calories, such as sitting in a sauna. This merely makes you perspire, not burn fat. The exercises you do when you sweat are what burn calories, but the sweat itself has nothing to do with it.

The sweating is merely a process of homeostasis, your body reacting to and attempting to keep the body cool when either you are in a hot environment (the sauna) or are being active both will cause a rise in body temperature.

Sweating is a natural process of the human body that has the function of body's heat regulation. Many people holds the misconception that the more sweating while exercising, it means you are burning more calories, but that's not true. There are a number of factors that determine how much a person sweats, it could be genetics, drinking and eating habits, etc., besides, if you step up the scale immediately after working out and you notice a decrease in weight, don't get fooled, that weight loss is only consisting of water, and as soon as you re-hydrate yourself, you'll gain that weight again.

About 500 calories a litre. Many people will tell you, "You don't burn calories from sweating, that's just water weight you're losing," and yes, when you sweat your body is literally removing water from itself. But what these people forget is that your body uses energy when it does things. Removing water from your body via the activation of millions of sweat glands is no exception.

no, but the loss of water will end up in some weight loss. sweating is cleansing and purifying, AND it eliminates bloated guts and thighs, which no one likes. even tho it doesnt burn calories, it aids weight loss.

Yes, you do burn calories when sleeping.

How many depends on the person. A 160-pound person who sleeps eight hours will lose roughly 549 calories in the process.

Where would you lose more body fat in a sauna or a freezer?

Ha! Cool question. Short answer: Freezer. Although neither is very good a burning fat, the freezer would burn more then sauna due mainly to your body working to keep you warm, shaking/shivering uses more muscle then sweating in a sauna. fyi- sweating isn't a always a good indicator of fat loss.


You exercise lots and you are still over weight what does this mean?

Ultimately, if you gain weight, it means you take in more calories than your burn off. It could be that what you consider exercise is not be rigorous enough to burn fat (sweating doesn't mean you are burning fat) or that your workouts are too short to burn fat (20 minute minimum on the treadmill, for example), or maybe you eat/drink too much of the wrong things at the wrong times...etc.
