Heat and Sweat for Weight Loss
Sweating is directly connected to weight loss. It is an expression of the body's metabolism operating at a higher level. A typical 30 minute session in the sauna pod, and the residual 36-hour elevated metabolic boost afterwards, can burn 600-1,600 calories.
Sweating consistently over time, either due to exercise, or from infrared heat, allows your body to detox toxins from everyday exposure.
If you can sweat on a regular basis, and can bring your core temperature up, you can expect to lose one clothing size within one to two months, assuming that you wait one or two days between sessions, and that you are living a healthy lifestyle with a reasonably healthy diet.
