Thing is if using the sauna helps you to feel good it will actually help you stick to your program.
I have been using a few sessions on a sun bed for the same reason, it makes me relax and feel good so I am less likely to stress eat.
Good luck!
to be honest, I always thought it made you lose weight too
Oh, can't you go back to the sauna? Melanoma is not a pretty way to die.
You don't stress eat when dead.2 -
I'm gonna go out on a limb here and risk a few "disagrees" to recommend the Sugar Busters eating style. You can get the book used cheap on Amazon. It was written by three doctors. One's an endocrinologist and I forget the other two because I'm at work and the book is at home. This basically involves avoiding sugars, simple carbs and foods that are considerably refined/processed. The basic idea of creating this diet was to help people lose weight and deal with high blood sugar at the same time. You would be eating fruits and vegetables with lots of fiber (no need for them all to be raw or anything like that), lean meats/other proteins, healthy fats in moderation, and whole grains. You would not be eating/drinking anything with added sugars, made with processed white flour, TV dinners, meals from a box, fast food, and stuff like that. Some people might find it too drastic of a change, but if your health or your job (or both) are on the line, then this might be the ticket for you. I do this because I'm diabetic and I don't run around feeling starving or skipping meals or anything like that. It has not made me sluggish and all nutritional requirements are being satisfied.2

So many other message boards lock threads after a certain period of inactivity. Oh if only that could happen here.9

Wait, you used to be able to use :star-rainbow: ??? Those really WERE the days!5

Back in the day when this thread was posted (ahem, @gothchiq ) people just piled on. There weren't even "like" buttons, so all the reactions in the early pages of this thread happened since it was bumped this last time.

Ah well. Someone might still benefit from sugar busters.1

I've always been told that you should use the sauna to cut weight.
Saunas are useful when doing a water cut to make weight, as in for a sport with weight classes. A serious water cut can see you drop up to 10% of your bodyweight for a weigh-in, but then you intentionally "regain" every ounce of that, if not more, before you actually compete (less than 24 hours later). It's not to get rid of fat, just to dehydrate yourself for a very temporary lower number on the scale.

Saunas make me feel so lethargic.0

Maybe we should see if we can successfully create a rumor that reviving zombie threads is a sure way to stall weight loss permanently?15

What about the steam room? Surely the extra moisture from the steam will help you wash it off.1 -

In a really hot sauna the sugar will melt and you'll be covered in syrup and draw ants. So, no, don't eat sugar while in the sauna.4 -
Wear a HRM for 30 minutes, sitting, doing nothing. Perhaps lying down? At room temperature.
Now do the same thing for the Sauna.
Make a note of increased calories burnt by heart rate. I have done this already, and for me, the increase of HR is negligible.there is no definite way to measure how many calories are burnt in sauna.
edit: your original post I clicked reply to didn't have that first link. Reading it now...
This is countering misinformation with misinformation.
An increased heart rate isn't an increased calorie burn. That would mean watching scary movies would help with weight loss if you kept the popcorn in check.
HRM to calories relies on using a relationship that generally holds between heart rate and calorie burn for steady state cardio only.5
