Title: Does Tanning Burn fat?
Post by: darksol on May 30, 2009, 10:38:59 PM: I have been wondering about this for a while. Is tanning only for looks? or does the Vitamin D cause your body to loose fat? I did a little research and was amazed how BodyBuilding foods are very high in Vitamin D

tanning also makes you hold a little bit of water.
But burning fat? no not in my case.

If it does, I suspect it is such a miniscule/negligible amount that it is unnoticeable.
Agree with the sauna statement, though a sauna is probably more effective due to intensity and duration.

Tanning also dries the skin, which can help reduce acne and also cover up the rest. Also good for camouflaging stretch marks.

If you want the benefits of tanning, sweating, and losing fat, then take off your shirt and cut your lawn with a push mower on a hot, sunny day. :)

I disagree...when tanned you can see their cottage cheese easier and from a further distance.

Does Tanning Burn Fat?url]

The sun raises metabolic rate, so you can say it burns fat. It increases caloric expedenture, which leads to fat burning. So yes.

The Sun raises metabolism and burns calories to a higher degree than grabbing a hamburger. Hope this helped to elucidate this issue for you.
