My step dad got one a few weeks ago, he acts like it is the best thing in the world. He says it burns fat and calories, but I really don't see how it could. Other than sweating out your water weight and toxins I don't understand what else it is doing for you. Hes full of it 99% of the time to begin with so I naturally don't believe him, anyone know anything about them?
 
Makes you sweat yes.
Makes you lose water yes.
Helps clean out toxins yes.
Helps lose body fat no.

Anytime after you are done using a sauna you need to take in the amount of liquid in water that you lost or it could actually hinder fat loss.
 
Ok what about calories? He thinks that he is actually burning a good amount of calories just by sitting in there for 30 min. Ha, I cant see some calories being burned by your body sweating but its not that many right?

thanks for the info btw, I cant find any thing on them other than websites selling them.
 
It good for your skin, if you have a cold shower after. Apart from that it only good for loosing water weight, handy if your a competative fighter cos you can get rid of all your water to help drop weight for a fight.

Its a bit of a myth that gyms have taken advantage of. you cant loose fat in a sauna
 
Whats the diff between a infrared sauna and a steam sauna? Is the intense light heat not bad for you? Wouldn't steam be better for you?
