Sweating the Pounds Off: How Much Weight Can You Lose During 15 Minutes in a Steam Sauna?
It’s every dieter’s dream to be able to lose weight without exercising. One recent fad is using steam saunas to sweat excess weight away without lifting a finger, which sounds too good to be true. Just how much weight can you lose by sitting in a sauna?People have been using saunas for thousands of years, and there’s no question that they are relaxing. Sweating can be a healthy way to cleanse your body and even rejuvenate your skin.
However, there is some additional benefit to sitting in a sauna, since your body is working to keep itself cool. An average 150-pound woman typically burns about 17 calories every 15 minutes while sitting quietly, such as when watching TV in her living room. Most women will burn about 1.5 times that, or 25.5 calories, during the same amount of time in a sauna. By comparison, that same woman would burn about 43 calories in 15 minutes of casual strolling on a flat sidewalk.
Saunas are typically kept at about 190 degrees, so there is a risk of hyperthermia if you stay in too long. Experts recommend staying in for 15 to 20 minutes at a time, then taking a break. If you feel lightheaded or uncomfortable, leave sooner. People who have underlying health issues, such as an irregular heartbeat or diabetes, may face greater risks from sauna use. If you have a chronic health issue or are pregnant, talk to your doctor before hitting the sauna.While sitting in a sauna isn’t going to melt the pounds away, it can be a helpful part of an overall weight loss and wellness program.
