Weight loss can be difficult for anyone. From finding the right diet, balancing your nutrition and working exercise into your daily schedule, maintaining a healthy weight can often seem impossible. Luckily there's a way to incorporate healthy weight loss into your life that works with exercise and diet, giving you a boost to keep you on track. Saunas are quickly gaining popularity as a natural way to lose a bit of extra weight while unwinding after a long day.

If you're interested in going to a sauna to lose weight, you'll first need to find a sauna close to your home. Most spas and gyms have saunas today, although you'll need to pay a monthly membership fee. Check the facilities closest to your home and make sure it's a location you'll be comfortable attending a few times a week. To start using a sauna to lose weight, begin by going twice a week for 30 minute sessions. Your body will do better if you give it time to adjust to the high temperature. Don't throw yourself into it too quickly. Once you're used to the experience, increase how often you go to the sauna. Aim for every other day if possible.

There are a number of things you should keep in mind when using a sauna to lose weight. To begin with, always make sure the sauna is set to at least 150 degrees Fahrenheit. This allows for optimum weight loss. Most personal saunas have a thermostat that allows you to adjust the temperature to your liking. You can expect to burn between 300 and 500 calories during a typical 30 minute sauna session, which is about equal to an hour on a treadmill. Next, always stay hydrated. Due to the risk of dehydration, many physicians won't recommend a sauna to lose weight. However, drinking lots of water when you plan your sauna trip will help you stay healthy and reduce this risk dramatically. Always be aware of how your body feels in the sauna. If you start to feel faint or that you're getting overheated, exit the sauna and take a break somewhere cool to make sure you don't faint from the heat.

Saunas can be a wonderful way to lose a few extra pounds, as long as you're not expecting dramatic weight loss. Many believe that saunas help rid the body of toxins, which may certainly be true. Just remember to stay hydrated and continue a healthy diet and exercise to see the most benefit from your sauna use.

Are saunas linked to weight loss?

Sitting in a sauna causes you to sweat, so yes, you will lose some water weight, but not much, and the moment you drink fluid again, you will gain it right back. Steam, such as you find in a sauna is really more beneficial to your skin as it helps open the pores and causes you to sweat which is one way your body can rid itself of toxins. It may also, at least temporarily, give you a bit of healthy color in your face and cause your skin to feel a bit softer. There is nothing miraculous about saunas though, and no, you will not lose actual weight by using them.
