Sweating more

[Sandy39]

Does anybody else find they sweat more on this WOE.

I find I sweat more than I did before I began and it is not just a little it is a lot.

Does anyone know why this would be?

Sandy :wave:

Maybe because you're drinking more fluids?

I'm not a sweater.....I get all red, but rarely sweat....except when the hot flushes hit. I haven't noticed any increase in fluid with those tho!

I'm a heavy drinker, haven't really changed the amount of liqiuds I drink....just the type. I drink constantly and pee about every 30 min! LOL but I rarely sweat....which might be why the hot flushes bother me so much!

Yes. Being in ketosis and bringing fat out of storage to burn for fuel is an EXOTHEMIC process. That means, it GIVES OFF HEAT. So your body must compensate for the extra heat by doing things that cool it = sweat so that evaporation will cool you off.

It's another GOOD thing that indicates you are in ketosis and burning stored fat. So rejoice when you sweat! :lol:

[Sandy39]

Sounds good to me.

I just found it weird because I've never been much of a sweater :lol: even though I am so big.

Well I hope it is because I'm burning fat because I gotta alot to burn. lol

Tofi Do you have my cat? Or a reincarnation of him? I had a beautiful black baby from 1974 to 1992 - his name was Pepper. He looked just like your baby.

[tofi]

Possibly a reincarnation. This is Sasha (short for Alexander the Great) who came here as a kitten, looked around and decided this would do and took over. Emperor of everything. He has a little sister who is no relation but is also black. So I guess I won't have any good luck.

Tofi was the name of the cat who owned me for 21 years. He was also black but had white paws & a discreet white mustache. It was short for Mephistopheles and he was a devil for sure. Very smart cat who would shake hands- always with the right paw - and sit when a treat was offered. More dog than cat.

Tofi - I've seen so many photos of cats that look just like my Pepper. Right now I have another black cat named Blackie (I know, I know - not exactly an original name.)

Blackie has two brothers (I took the whole litter of 3) - named Pudge and Smudge. They are butterscotch colored - the mom was a Calico - and Smudge has a smudge of black fur on his side. Pudge had kind of a big butt when we got him - so thus, Pudge. Was originally going to call Blackie - Sludge? Fudge? - but ended up calling him "the black cat."

My boys are 11 this year. Pudge is no longer pudgie - he's got diabetes and is down to 5 lbs. after weighing in at 17 lbs. for most of his adult life. They are the most loving, sweet, attentive cats I have ever seen. One cannot sit anywhere without a cat on him. Blackie likes men - even strangers. He goes over and plops himself on the guys thighs - waiting for his belly to be scratched.

Oops - off on a tangent - guess I should get back on topic.

I find I sweat more too..... It's probably hormone related (peri menopause) but it's annoying nevertheless. It's not excessive when I am exercising, more in my air conditioned office where it's mucg more embarrassing. If anyone has bright ideas, I'm wide open to them.

Thanks, Julie

I find that I wake up in the middle of the night sweating - it's gotten to the point that I put a fan on before bed (and we keep the AC on 24/7) but I still wake up hot and sweaty in the middle of the night.

[lowcarbjo]

Sweating... well, I notice that I actually sweat/get really hot while I'm asleep at night. Even if I'm only covered with a top sheet...actually my DH noticed it first and I sometimes wake up cuz I'm sticking to the sheets, regardless of the temp. ....hopefully this means I'm burning up some fat!! :D

[DeanaJane]

I live in Florida and it's hot year round here. I've sweated every day. Even before I lost weight. I've lost 50 pounds now and still sweat. I don't get near as hot as I use to, I attribute that to mybody having work warm all the water I drink up. LOL

But it's interesting what Tofi said. I never use to sweat at night and now I to wake up almost every night with the sheets soaked. Sheesh, I should have lost a whole nother person with all the fat I'm sweating out. LOL

I have also noticed this. It really bothers me too. I dont have to do much and all of a sudden I am sweating. very very warm all of the time. quite annoying, but worth it.

[bb_peregri]

Yup, I'm definately sweating more which is a bit annoying. But hey, if it helps me losing weight, I'll go with it.

[Iwilldoit]

Yep, when I am in full swing with low-carb, I feel like i'm putting off tons of heat 24/7. I too think it is indicative of thermogenesis from fat burning (that's what I like to think anyways! ) :lol:
