Sorry incorrect website... scaledown.me

Thanks guys. I think the whoosh explanation makes the most sense. Been on a daily deficit for about a month. I weigh daily because it part of a weightloss program that im on. Been doing it for 2 months and this is the first time I've seen such a big gap. Normally my weight fluctuate 1-2 lbs overnight and 2-4 throughout the…

I hate ppl that do that. So inconsiderate. Hope you feel better soon.

I have same issue and I also noticed it before i started walking/jogging. Same knee and all! Lol. My Dr said I may be in the beginning stages of arthritis. She said I need to take it easy on the running and focus on proper knee placement when exercising. Ie: dont take long strides on treadmill, the ball of your foot should…

No where in my post have I been disingenuous. I stated what I meant and I've stuck with it throughout. I even said calories are burned by living JUST LIKE YOU JUST SAID but ppl chose to pick over my words. You are doing the same thing, picking over my words, it matters not that you are saying the same thing I am. Re:…

I read both articles and they each make a different point that I needed to illustrate. As far as your order of operations for heart rate and calorie burn..fine. I disagree but ok. I dont feel like going thru my links to find the exact article that gave the order but I do know that oxygen isnt transported without a…

Good grief. I posted an article that explains it. My order is correct just simplified because too many words confuses ppl.

You are a breath of fresh air... They are going to get you about that "burn fat" comment tho. Lol

What misinformation? Everything I have stated is fact.

1. Toxins are in the body. You need to read up. 2. What you call ancedotes are my personal facts and they are legit. 3. You are saying the same thing i am about calories burned in the sauna. Why is it so hard for ppl to understand that I'm NOT saying its a weight loss tool or an efficient way to burn calories?

Lol. I didn't modify a thing...you just finally understood what I've been saying this whole time.

Check the links

I AM STILL SAYING THIS EXACT SAME THING. Geeze. Saunas increase the heart rate which increases oxygen which burns calories. I have explained how my word choice of "increased calorie burn" could have been misinterpreted. Doesnt change my point. You've shown me one instance where I used this poor word choice. Every place…

Yes. What in this post am I straying from? What are you trying to point out? Lol. Im saying the same thing. Saunas burn calories and detoxify the skin.

But I didnt say it reduces fat...I said it detoxifies skin and burns calories. It can only be interpreted as exactly what I said...it detoxifies and burns calories. Thats is what I'm still saying. I even said it doesnt work for weightloss. I said time and time again that its minimal. I still dont get why ppl got all riled…

Did I ever say "higher calorie burn"? If I did I can see how that was misinterpreted. If I stated this it means overall. As in, in addition to what you already burned. I didnt mean it as saunas burn alot of calories. I've stated several times that it doesnt.

And for the ppl that said they were sick and had a high heart rate...please comprehend the fact that the amount burned is minimal and intake works against it.

And this is true. While in a sauna heart rate increases due to temp change which increases oxygen and burns a small amount of calories. Please find a source that says this is not correct.

On what point am incorrect? Sources please.

^^^^^THIS

Agreed. Much different than the average sauna scenario

I hydrate before and after sauna use. As far as I can tell it makes no noticeable difference on the scale, probably because I replenish.

Just so we are clear...saunas do not burn fat, they are not a good weight loss tool. Saunas burn a small amount of calories and is good for the skin. Somehow my initial point got lost.

For yourself? ...if you'd like. I've provided sources outside of mfp. You're welcome

Congrats on ur journey! Staying motivated can be hard. I've found that YouTube and MFP helps

More credible than MFP posters

Op asked about saunas burning fat...i said nothing about saunas burning fat. Im asking why are ppl up in arms about the points I made.

Agreed. Cardio improved my stamina. I noticed a change in my energy levels after weeks of steady cardio. I'm able to stay in the gym longer. It may not burn fat but I think it's just as important as diet.

No, Im not. thanks tho. From the same article I posted..the same one you just quoted, the same one that says saunas have no affect on calories... it also says that the affects of a sauna is like a slow jog. Are you telling me a slow jog burns no calories? "The sauna won't get your blood flowing quite like a speedy sprint,…

Found an "expert" that is saying the same thing I am. Since I used google to find it is it less credible? lol. It from the WebMD question & answer section... Q: Do sauna's contribute to weight loss? From Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist Mark Kaelin A: The short answer is, no. Generally after time in a sauna…
