    It will make you dehydrate. If you weigh yourself when you're finished you'll be lighter but dehydrating to lose weight is a particularly stupid thing to do.

    Hypocrisy is only a bad thing in other people.

    Don't do it. It's what fighters do to "make a weight" - and then they drink again afterwards. And you can get really really ill of you overdo it - which, frankly, you probably will.

    Wear as little as you can, it lets you cool and sweat freely, and then you can train harder in greater comfort.

    I don't think you'll need anything to make you sweat on the turbo - just pedal harder if you think it's not enough. Any forced dehydration is dangerous as it can upset the electrolyte balance in your body causing all manner of problems.

    Afraid so old chap. If we could sweat fat, I'd be skinny.
