A member asked:
Can wearing a sweat suit ( sauna suit) actually help you burn more calories?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Only a few: You will loose more weight due to water loss but this only lasts until you rehydrate. There is a little increase in caloric consumption but not enough to help and not enough to risk dehydration and sun stroke.
