The truth is, if you are inducing a sweat by wearing more clothing, the only thing you are really doing is excreating more water. As soon as you start drinking again, the water will come back.. at the same time the induced sweating could exacerbate dehydration to dangerous levels.

Sweating is the bodies natural tendency to cool down, but it doesn't burn more calories..

Conversely, being cold, and your body's natural tendency to warm you up,,, burns 10 times the calories as being too hot. It's like swimming in a pool that is set under 75 degrees.. After the first lap, your body has generated enough heat from within that you don't feel the cold anymore. But just by being in the pool at that point, and your body's constant heat generation, will continue to burn calories.

Something else that I have learned about exercise clothing, that if you have skin folds that tend to rub together, it is recommended that you wear "form fitting" clothing, to prevent chaffing,, and wisk away the sweat from your body, that would otherwise cause a rash. Sweat contains all the poisons and free radicals that your skin is exposed to,, and many things that you would consume from just eating, drinking and breathing... so, by wearing clothing that "fits" it absorbs the sweat and poisons, and keeps them off the body, directly.
