If it works for you, go for it. It does not work for me. I hate wearing anything more than shorts, knee sleeves, and a t-shirt. Coming up soon I'll have to start wearing a sweat shirt and sweat pants. It will be miserable but necessary. I sweat enough as it is. In fact I drink water like crazy to stay hydrated. I don't want to lose any water weight, but if you do, and it works, I see no reason to stop.
