How are you? The weight loss that one may experience when using a sauna is temporary. The loss is just what we call water weight and can easily be regained after drinking a couple of glasses of water, juice or formulated sports drink. Lack of fluid replacement, and using the sauna for an extended period of time could result in dehydration. If you want to lose weight, regular exercise and healthy diet may help. For some, sauna is used after a workout and can be a nice way to sooth aching muscles.

Take care and regards.
