Sauna suits burn 0 calories. The weight loss that is caused by sauna suits is because of the loss of water weight. Wearing a sauna suit only helps you achieve temporary weight loss.
Water Weight
The sauna suit increases the amount you sweat. An increase in sweat causes a decrease in the amount of water your body retains. The less water in your system, the lighter you weigh.
Temporary
Sauna suits were originally used so boxers and wrestlers could lose weight fast before weighs ins, to help them compete in lower weight classes. This type of weight loss is only temporary. The water in your system is restored as soon as you drink liquids.
Warning
Excessive use of sauna suits is dangerous. Dehydration,heat stroke, dizziness, weakness, muscle cramps and fainting are all possible if you wear the suit for too long.
