1. What is Sauna Water Weight Loss?

Sauna water weight loss refers to the temporary loss of body weight due to sweating during sauna use. This is primarily water loss and should be replenished by drinking fluids after sauna sessions.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the simple formula:

Where:

• Loss — Water weight lost (kg)
• sweat_rate — Individual sweating rate (kg per hour)
• time — Duration of sauna session (hours)

Explanation: The calculation estimates fluid loss based on your personal sweating rate and time spent in the sauna.

3. Importance of Hydration

Details: While sauna-induced sweating can cause temporary weight loss, it's crucial to rehydrate properly to maintain electrolyte balance and prevent dehydration.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your sweat rate (typically 0.5-1.5 kg/h) and session duration. For accurate results, weigh yourself before and after sauna use to determine your personal sweat rate.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Is sauna weight loss permanent?
A: No, the weight loss is temporary water loss that will be regained as you rehydrate.

Q2: What's a typical sweat rate in sauna?
A: Most people lose 0.5-1.5 kg per hour, but this varies based on temperature, humidity, and individual factors.

Q3: How can I measure my sweat rate?
A: Weigh yourself before and after a sauna session (without drinking in between) - the difference is your sweat loss.

Q4: Is excessive sauna use dangerous?
A: Yes, prolonged sessions can lead to dangerous dehydration and electrolyte imbalances.

Q5: Should I drink during sauna use?
A: Small sips are okay, but major rehydration should occur after your session to maximize benefits.
