Steam room -- does it help you loose fat??

[ZKaudio]

someone told me regular steamroom usage can decrease insulogenic fat... i just don't know...

A couple of guys at my gym (who are in very good shape) swear by the steam room.

I could see that it may help with water wieght, but they say that it also helps burn calories -- well what do you guys figure??

yeah, all the sweat lost is the water you body holds, thus you could easily drop a pound or two a session.

If your body temp. is higher, you burn more calories...and without any exercise invloved, you burn more fat.

Fair enough... does it make sense that you body will burn calories cause of the environment it is in though?

It could burn calories I suppose, but 99.9% of the weight loss comes from water loss.

Now thats the reasoning I couldn't quite think of. Thanks.

Steam room seems like a good idea when cutting.
