Does warm weather help lose weight?

So Im living in cold ohio weather. Snowy and rainy! :( Ive been jogging in this weather and lost 17 pounds. Well Im moving to Arizona in January. Its very warm there. Will that help me lose more weight then I am now?Does warm weather help lose weight?
im sick of answering this question so im just going to copy and paste my last answer



what ever temperature you are most comfortable is ideal for weight loss and muscle growth. yes when it is cooler your body burns more calories to keep warm but also you don't lift as hard or as long and or don't run as long or fast so the burn calories keeping warm but the amount lost in your workout is more than the amount used to stay warm. with warmer temperature you lose more weight but that's just water weight from sweat. so what ever temperature you find most comfortable is the best for you will get the best workout at that temperature. if one had to be chosen warmer cause you still have full expansion of your lungs and don't have to worry about your muscles cooling down
Remember that healthy weight loss takes effort, dedication, and consistency. Staying focused on your motivation can make it much easier to turn down the chocolate cake to go for a jog. Similarly, keep in mind that one mistake doesn't mean you have failed. If you have taken a step backwards, re-center yourself and get right back into the habit of following your plans. Fast weight loss for a specific event may be good temporary motivation, but developing a few specific goals for your long-term weight loss plans is also helpful and may keep you accountable for a weight loss plan after you achieve your initial goal.Does warm weather help lose weight?
Not really. There is a trade off.
Jogging in cold weather allows the body to work more efficiently. We spend less energy cooling through sweat. Warm weather running results in more sweat to stay cool but you just replace the lost water as soon as you drink fluids.
Sort of like going into the sauna. You just lose water weight.
Jogging in colder weather with jeans and a tee shirt might be the best way to loose weight in your position. Being cold causes your body to use more energy to stay warm, which could be used to help you loose weight. so I'd say not so much.Does warm weather help lose weight?
Actually YES , it makes you sweat and by sweating you loose weight. Have you ever heard of sauna rooms? They make you sweat and loose weight by steam.
Not really, you'll just lose more fluids and salts during exercise. You might burn a few more kcal on a very hot day but in the long term nothing dramatic.
It is not going to give you any more or less results.
