When you're in a sauna ones core body temperature is increased. When this happens, the body has to cool itself. The body achieves this by sweating. To get the sweat to the sweat glands, water is carried by blood cells. As the body gets hotter, the heart pumps harder to take the water to the sweat glands. The act of this increase in activity in the cardiovascular system would undoubtedly require more calories than sitting in room temperature. Does it burn fat? The calories burned by this process wouldn't be significant, but it does help. A lot of weight loss is from sweat and toxins. Toxins trapped within the body can inhibit the metabolic performance of the body, therefore, even though the sauna may not directly cause the body to lose weight, a sauna indirectly can help one to lose weight through the detoxification of this toxic build up within the muscle tissue and fat cells.

Yes, but they also remove water from each cell, so do not stay in a hot sauna more than 15 to 20 minutes at a time. It causes excessive sweating which removes impurities (like fat) from skin cells near the surface. Drink fluids when U get out. ----

No, sweating is just the body's compensatory mechanism to cool of or reduce the body's temperature. The action that results in the body to sweat whereas may burn fat. The rise of the body's temperature in the first place could be due to increase in metabolism, hormonal action and such. For eg exercising.

When does your stomach burn fat and when does it burn muscle?

Your stomach doesn't burn fat. Your body does. If you mean when does your body burn fat, it's simple. When there is cortisol in your system from a stressful workout and your muscle mass is being used and maintained, you will burn fat. If cortisol is released but your muscles aren't being used much as in steady state cardio, muscle will be burned. Focus on short, intense workouts and use your muscles rather than steady, boring cardio. This will make you fat and weak.
