How often to use infrared sauna for weight loss?

Oh, I've seen these advertised! Do they actually help with weight loss or is it mostly water weight? I've been researching different options. How often would one need to go for actual results, I wonder?

I use an infrared sauna for stress relief and muscle relaxation, maybe 2-3 times a week for 20-30 minutes. I personally haven't used it specifically for weight loss, so I can't advise on that. It does make you sweat a lot, though!

While infrared saunas can offer certain health benefits like relaxation and improved circulation, their direct impact on significant, sustained weight loss is often debated. It's primarily water weight. For actual weight loss strategies, consulting a doctor or a certified nutritionist is the best and safest approach.

I had a friend who overdid a similar heat treatment and ended up dehydrated and faint. For something like weight loss using a sauna, please, please consult your doctor first. They can tell you if it's safe for your body and how often, so you don't face complications.

For weight loss, sustainable changes in diet with lots of fresh veggies and fruits, and regular exercise, are always key. Saunas might help with detox or relaxation, but I would be cautious relying on them purely for weight loss without medical advice. And stay hydrated!

If you have high BP like me, you have to be very careful with saunas or anything that changes body temperature quickly. Always check with your doctor first. For weight loss, consistent diet and exercise, and regular checkups, are most important, not quick fixes.
