    The sauna makes you sweat, but any "weight" you lose goes right back on with the first beverage you consume afterward.

    Saunas help you with eliminating various toxins/impurities from your body, and are helpful in reducing stress.

    Not really… after a full-body work-out it can help a bit, not a huge amount though.

    not a lot. approx an hour or more worth equals less than one pound

    but it feels good and helps create perspiration which is good for your muscles

    The sauna helps you get rid of this extra salt and thereby gets you rid of the water weight that you have gained. If you want to maintain the weight loss you enjoy from visiting the sauna, you need to keep salt consumption to a minimum in your diet.

    Hence, the sauna does indeed help you loose weight though not in the regular way of melting fat. The heat usually forces the body sweat out the excess salt and toxins and thereby reduced a great deal of your water weight. Combined with a healthy and salt free (or reduced salt) diet, you could enjoy the new found way of staying trim and healthy. Good luck!

    One of the lesser known health benefits of saunas is that you can use this relaxing, stress-relieving time to lose weight! We all know that stress is one of the causes of overeating and studies have shown that by bathing for longer sessions (30 minutes or more), you can burn up to 500 calories, which is about what you would burn on a 3-mile run.

    What other people have said is true. You’ll sweat a lot in the sauna causing you to lose weight – this is almost entirely water though, so as soon as your drink the water will be absorbed in to the body again to prevent you dehydrating.

    Saunas are healthy though and great for detox. Regular use alongside exercise will help muscle recovery and improve your exercise…therefore helping to lose weight that way.

    The best way to lose weight in a sauna is to do some exercise while in the sauna!! Its very hard going but gives you a great workout while detoxing at the same time.

    Good Luck!
