    Nope. You might see a drop immediately but it's just water which you've sweated out and as soon as you drink more you'll go back to where you were.

    Yes, but no you don't burn fat, it's all water weight that you'll gain right back.

    I spend time in the sauna after a workout as a reward to myself. It is some relaxing alone time. I may be crazy but I tell myself that it helps sweat out impurities. Hey, it least it is relaxing.
