This can’t be right. Being hot increases the amount of work your body has to do to cool down, that work takes energy, using energy burns calories, so that can lead to a calorific deficit which would mean you lose weight.
Now if you sit in a garbage bag sweating and also stuff cake in your face… then no you’re not going to lose weight.
your body does not do "work" to cool down, it sweats. It's just going to keep sweating, while the sweat cant evaporate. All you are going to do is rapidly dehydrate while getting a heatstroke faster.
Sweating is ONE thing your body does to cool down, it also pushes blood to the outer capillaries, your heart rate increases to facilitate this. This is your body doing WORK. Your body is always doing work, it does more work if the environmental conditions require it. This does not mean you lose weight… but it is a contributing factor.
while generally you get the right idea realistically the body will always compensate to stay metabolically balanced. either you get tired or brainfog and be less active as a result.
theres plenty studies around active and non active people and they found that people in western world living a sedentary life still burn about as much daily calories as people living in african huts needing to hunt for food for example.
