Will a sauna help men to lose weight? Aaron Marino of alpha m. addresses whether sweating equals weight loss.
Yes, in the short term, you may lose a pound or two but all you are losing is water weight. Trash bag suits while doing cardio may cause temporary weight loss but once water is consumed the weight is back.
You are not reducing body fat- you are only losing body water. Focus on weight loss that burns body fat. Also, keep in mind that saunas and trash bag suits can cause dehydration which can be dangerous. Stick with proper diet and cardio to lose body fat.
