Not really.: Might help lose a little water, but that loss is only temporary.

Not really..: Sauna's "sweat out" weight, but the real trick is daily exercise and diet/portion control. That is the real ticket. Go see your doctor for help.

Slightly but...: Just like exercise can help one to burn calories, there is evidence that people may burn 300-500 calories during a half hour in a sauna, similar to the amount of weight one might burn while walking or jogging. Also, saunas help our bodies to eliminate toxins & reducing our burden of toxins might help us to lose weight. But you are most likely to have success if combined with diet & exercise.
