This is kind of a general topic that I want to open up to discussion because I have these discussions with people and it baffles me.
I'll just share my experiences and feel free to comment or share how they differ with you.
First off - I drink plenty of water and will drink potassium chloride and iodized sodium before workout to make sure my electrolytes are plentiful. Despite this, I don't really sweat much. I don't even need to shower after the gym or change my clothes. And here's the crazy part, I barely sweat in the sauna either. Every time I get in sauna, I see everyone leave massive puddles (even when they're only in there for 10-15 minutes). Even if I stay in it for 30 minutes and chug water, I will barely leave a trace of sweat. On the flip side, I also seem to have insane cold tolerance. I like to sleep in a room that's 60 degrees in nothing but my boxers and very thin/minimal bedding.
Don't know what any of this means but I'd be curious to hear if anyone else experiences this and what the implications are. This could be a genetic thermoregulation superpower/metabolic thing but it baffles me. I've had my thyroid levels checked numerous times and it's always normal. On eother possible explaination is that people are are not consuming enough electrolytes to retain water. If you drink too much water without enough electolytes your body will flush out the water in your body rapidly.
It's actually rather frustrating because it pretty much means I cannot do sleepovers with woman I date.
