One of my friends recently asked me about using the sauna to help lose weight. I do realize that sweating makes you lose water weight, but does it actually make you lose body fat?
 
Simple answer: No.
 
Just to go on from what Ponyboy said - simple answer is no, but the long answer is yes, slightly, raising your temperature will increase your metabolic rate slightly causing you to burn a modicum of cals from fat, but nothing noticable. Worthless for losing fat IMO.
 
Not fat loss but you could lose temporary water weight. After a 20 mile run, I was down 5-7 pounds but it crept back up once I rehydrated and ate :)
 
A sweatsuit might help though whilst doing cardio but again you're mostly losing water weight.
 
my father always decent weight for his age, hes job he normally probably sweat alot. Might have something to do with it but he sure wasnt sitting his ass in a sauna there was grueling excercise involved :)
 
Probably the same affects of a hard sports practice. It's not surprising to see football players, soccer players, boxing, and other athletes losing 5-10 lbs during one work out. Either way you gain it back by the next day if you hydrate enough.

Remember too if you do this you're not only losing water, you're losing electrolytes (mostly sodium) that also need to be replaced when you refuel.

Anyone who recommends a sweat-suit while doing cardio is recommending a practice that can easily put a person in the hospital.
 
true but to wreselers there very valubill because some time they nead to drop 5 lbs in a day so they can be very usefull to

Yeah, because we all know of the heated wrestling bouts in the Emergency Ward Wrestling Federation.

Its very unhealthy.

Alot of my friends that cage fight have to lose 5-10 lbs sometimes, and that means throwing on the space suit and jumping rope/running for hours. I sweat just looking at them

Alot of the leagues now are weighing the fighters months in advance to prevent them from dropping alot of weight right before the fight, kids pass out from dehydration and most times can't perform @ 100% and wind up getting injured.
 
you lose fat by breathing it out and urinating it.
If you could drink and retain a gallon of water you would be about 8 lbs heavier even though you had not really taken in any more food calories. But assuming you are not dehydrated you will eventually excreet and sweat off that gallon of water and lose the 8 lbs.
