Question: How many calories for sitting in the sauna?

Does any one know how many calories this would be?  surely not the same as sitting in a regular temperature room>

If anyone knows please let me know!!!  Thank you!!!

Ok, I did the Search on this site for Sauna in Forums, ( because I forgot that approach to start off with) and found much debate about health benefits but nothing on calories. 

I feels great after being in there for awhile, so I will be using it for motivation!!!

I dont know the answer, but id love to know since i enjoy jumpin in the sauna all the time.. 

 If anyone has the answer, please inform us.  I'm usually in it for anywhere between 10-20mins, and i feel the sweat pouring off me, but it's so moist, im not exactly sure its beneficial

A Sauna assists in weight loss in three significant ways:

1. It effectively reduces heavy metals which have been directly related to metabolic imbalances in the body causing poor digestion and weight gain.

2. It decreases fat stored (lipophilic) toxins. Often weight loss cannot be accomplished unless these toxins are first removed.

3. Although weight loss due to perspiration (water loss) is quickly regained, sending more blood to the capillaries and converting fats and carbohydrates results in as much as 600 calories burned during one short sauna session.

 How "short" is short? 30 minutes you think?
