Massive passion for sports, weight loss, and the desire to gain a toned, slender figure coincided with the desire of many for everything natural. Both women and men have taken care of their appearance and at the same time try to use artificial methods of fighting extra pounds as little as possible and natural methods as often as possible. What could be more natural than the processes occurring in nature?
For example, the well-known greenhouse effect, which can also be called thermoregulation, is characteristic of absolutely any living organism. The effectiveness of a suit with a sauna effect is based on the same principle. What a sauna suit is, reviews from doctors and consumers, how it works – you can find all the information you need in this article.
Principle of operation
To date, only the lazy have never heard of suits for weight loss. The opinions of real owners are very different - it all depends on how effective they turned out to be for each specific case. Along with the nature of the reviews, the cost of these suits varies quite noticeably, despite the fact that in all models, without exception, the principle of operation is the same.
In this case, we are talking about the greenhouse effect - a sauna suit (reviews below) makes it difficult to evaporate and remove moisture from the surface of the skin. The human body, which is forced to more intensively regulate the heat exchange process, actively begins to release water. Excess fluid is exactly those 2-3 kilograms that sometimes you really want to get rid of.
A similar effect can be achieved by spending a few minutes in the sauna. It’s just that the heat source will be slightly different: in a sauna it comes from outside, but in a suit, overheating is created from the inside, artificially.
How to choose?
The suit model is selected depending on the training conditions and which parts of the body need to be corrected. There are two main types:
- pants and jacket made of nylon or polyester with tight cuffs at the wrists and shins;
- one-piece neoprene overalls with short sleeves and breeches, fastened with a zipper at the front.
The first type of suit resembles a raincoat, while the second is more similar to a wetsuit.
On a note! When choosing a suit with a sauna effect for weight loss, it is important to pay attention to the fact that it does not restrict movement and fits tightly to the body. However, he should not squeeze his legs and arms too much.
It is important that the suit fits properly. There should not be a gap between it and the body, otherwise the effect will be significantly reduced. If the suit compresses the body too much, this can cause heart overload and fainting during training. Under it you can wear sportswear made from natural fabric.
In order for a sauna suit to help you lose excess weight, you must adhere to the following recommendations:
- before buying a suit with a sauna effect for weight loss, you should familiarize yourself with several options for clothing for weight loss, read reviews from doctors and those losing weight;
- when choosing a suit, you should focus on your actual parameters, and not the desired ones;
- Along with the sauna suit, you need to buy underwear made from natural material;
- it is important to pay attention to the quality of the seams and machine washability;
- It is advisable to give preference to a model with a hood, zipper and pockets, since this is the most practical and convenient option.
Indications and contraindications
Buying such a suit on your own without consulting a doctor is a very rash act. First of all, you need to be aware that there is a category of people who are strictly prohibited from exercising in this costume. These are people with cardiovascular diseases and patients with anemia. It is also unacceptable to use the suit at high temperatures, pressure and after surgery. The main contraindication is dehydration, when sweating is strictly prohibited.
Result
According to the instructions for use, the sauna suit (consumer reviews confirm this) will help you lose weight only if you exercise intensively in it. Of course, you don’t need to exhaust yourself with hours of training from the very first day; you need to load your body gradually.
You should realize that simply wearing a suit will not achieve results. Naturally, a person will still sweat, the body will lose fluid, while fat deposits will remain unchanged.
POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE ASPECTS OF USING A SIGHT LOSS SUIT.
The main advantage of losing weight using a sauna suit is the removal of excess water from the body.
Another negative feature is that constant,
But supporters of the thermal suit are not afraid of the fact that wearing a thermal suit for a long time can lead to dehydration of the body, arguing this by replenishing microelements that leave the body with excess water, by taking dietary supplements. Drinking plenty of water throughout the day will help replenish your water-salt balance. In addition, if there is a need to lose one or two kilograms in a short period of time, then wearing a suit replaces taking pseudo-weight loss products, which cost a lot and raise doubts about their effectiveness. Therefore, if you are thinking of buying a sauna suit or a fat burner, the first option is probably safer for your health.
Application
The main advantage that the “Sauna” weight loss suit has (reviews confirm this fact) is skin care. In exactly the same way as after visiting a sauna, the skin takes on a smooth, silky appearance. After training, you should take a shower, and it is also recommended to massage problem areas with a brush or anti-cellulite washcloth.
After this, moisturizing milk or cream is applied to the body. The stomach and thighs can be lubricated with an anti-cellulite agent. When losing weight, comprehensive care will certainly show visible results after a week of active training.
Before purchasing such a thing as a sauna suit, you need to look at the reviews first. There is no need to rush, as there is always the opportunity to consider in more detail the various options for the purchased product. Sales consultants working in specialized shopping malls will inform you about current discounts and explain the purpose of each suit. And then everything will depend on your perseverance and willpower.
Types and models of thermal suits
The sauna suit is made from fabrics that do not allow water to pass through and have heat-insulating properties. There are two types of such suits: one-piece, made in the form of overalls, and separate, which are a jacket with sports-cut trousers. In order to ensure better tightness, there are sealing elastic bands on the cuffs of the sleeves and legs.
Types of fabrics
The material for a thermal suit can be:
- PVC (other names: vinyl, polyvinyl chloride). This is a non-toxic, hypoallergenic material, which is a mixture of rubber, glue and plastic, similar in appearance to bologna fabric.
- Neoprene (microporous chloroprene rubber). The advantages of the material are high insulating properties, elasticity, wear resistance, and harmlessness.
- Nylon - this synthetic water- and airproof polyamide is lightweight, durable, tear-resistant and does not lose its presentation during long-term use.
Some suits with a sauna effect are made of two layers; the additional inner lining is made of soft insulating material. The outer layer of the sandwich overalls can also be made of polyurethane, and the inner layer of waterproof rubberized fabric. This design solution promotes maximum heat release.
Thermal suit models

Everlast Deluxe sauna suit: consumer reviews
The “greenhouse effect” during an intense workout increases sweating, forcing the body to get rid of excess fat accumulation.
Let's take the Everlast Deluxe suit as an example - it consists of two main elements (pants and jacket), which are equipped with elastic bands at the ankles, waist and sleeves.
- The suit is perfect for aerobics or fitness classes, but should not be used for high physical activity (for example, weightlifting).
- To achieve greater effect, it should be used with regular physical activity.
The Everlast Deluxe weight loss sauna suit, according to consumer reviews, is an ideal option for athletes who urgently need to lose extra pounds. The “greenhouse effect” underlies its action. When performing physical exercises, the body temperature begins to rise, the person sweats, and, since this clothing prevents heat from escaping, the body loses several times more moisture and fatty acids.
The principle of operation of a suit with a sauna effect
The effect of the suit is similar to that of a regular sauna. Under the influence of high temperatures, the body begins to sweat intensely, thereby preventing overheating. As a result, toxins, waste and other harmful substances are removed from the body along with the pores. The heart rate increases, which helps enrich tissues with oxygen, metabolic processes accelerate, and fat deposits are broken down.
Since the sauna suit is made of materials that do not allow air to pass through, the human body warms up due to internal heat. To obtain the greatest effectiveness, you need to move vigorously in the suit. Otherwise, you will have to wear it for about 3 hours to achieve the desired effect.
Recommendations for use
- It is recommended to wear the suit over simple cotton underwear to prevent moisture absorption.
- It is highly undesirable to wear this type of clothing for more than 1 hour, and during active physical activity - no more than 15 minutes.
- To increase efficiency and improve results, the Sportmaster sauna suit is worn during training (cardio, strength, aerobic), cycling, and jogging.
How to wear a suit with a sauna effect for weight loss?
It is advisable to put on the suit immediately before training, since simply sitting in it will not have any effect. Experts give the following recommendations to beginners:
- before putting on a sauna suit designed for weight loss, you need to take a shower and wipe your body dry;
- put on underwear and, if desired, sportswear made of natural material, move slightly to understand how comfortable the suit fits;
- start training: warm up slightly by doing simple exercises, then continue training, gradually increasing intensity, finish with simple exercises;
On a note! During exercise, it is important to constantly monitor your working heart rate. It can be calculated by calculating age from 220, multiplied by 0.6. This will give you a heart rate that should be maintained throughout the entire workout. The duration of the lesson is 30-40 minutes.
- after training, you should not immediately take off your suit, you need to sit in it for about 5 minutes so that the body cools down gradually, not suddenly;
- take off your suit, take a shower, dry your body with a towel.
Dry the suit, preparing it for the next workout.
On a note! If discomfort, pain or deterioration in well-being is felt during sports activity, training should be stopped immediately. Take off your suit, sit down to rest, catch your breath, drink some water. If the condition does not improve, it is recommended to consult a doctor.
The process of losing weight
Losing weight in such a suit is carried out through dehydration of the body, as well as stress exerted on it. Thus, in an hour of aerobic training, which was carried out in this suit, you can lose up to 1 kilogram of excess weight. But you shouldn’t get too carried away, as this can cause serious problems: heart overload, tachycardia, edema and much more. This is due to the fact that the pulse becomes too rapid and the lungs are unable to provide the body with the required amount of oxygen.
How does it work
Weight correction methods based on the greenhouse effect have been known for a long time; many models used them when preparing for a fashion show. Thick underwear was put on the body, then the torso was wrapped in waterproof plastic film, which acted as an insulator, and warm clothes were placed on top. To get the desired result, wearing such ammunition required a good run. An ordinary sauna works on the same principle, but the source of heat in it is hot air, and not the body’s own energy. Why does the sauna effect cause rapid weight loss?
Mechanism of action of the sauna
Almost two-thirds of the human body consists of water, and a greater amount is retained by adipose tissue: 100 g of fat can bind up to 750 g of water. During physical effort, body temperature rises; under normal conditions, heat is released into the environment. A suit with a sauna effect prevents natural heat loss, so to protect against overheating, the body begins to produce a large amount of sweat, with which waste products are released, as well as fat decomposition products.
As a result of intense sweating:
- body weight decreases quickly;
- due to the removal of water from tissues, swelling is eliminated;
- The appearance of cellulite is greatly reduced;
- the body is actively cleansing itself of toxins.
It should be borne in mind that the sauna suit is not a magical remedy - even if you lie on the couch in it for half a day, you will not be able to get rid of extra pounds. This is a catalyst, a tool that helps to significantly speed up the weight loss process. In order to get real results, intense physical activity is necessary, and nutritional correction aimed at limiting fats and carbohydrates in the diet is also desirable.
Arguments of criticism and defense
The main argument that opponents of a sauna suit for weight loss make is the fact that with its help, mainly water is removed from the body. In order to start the process of burning subcutaneous fat, tissues must be heated to a temperature above 40°C, and such conditions are achievable only when using hardware techniques. Another argument against it is that with prolonged use of a thermal suit, dehydration of the body is inevitable; in addition, microelements and vitamins are removed along with sweat.
Advocates of the greenhouse effect method of losing weight consider the first argument controversial. To obtain energy for physical effort during exercise, the body uses up fat reserves at any temperature. And considering that lipolysis produces 7.5 times more water than the mass of triglycerides themselves, a fairly significant part of the excreted sweat is water from broken down fats. Loss of beneficial microelements can be compensated for by taking a vitamin-mineral complex. By the way, when visiting a regular sauna, such losses also occur.
As for hydration, firstly, the instructions clearly state that it is recommended to drink plenty of water during and after training in this suit to maintain optimal hydration. And secondly, if there is an urgent need to urgently lose a few kilograms, then from the point of view of health safety, a thermal suit is still preferable to taking strong diuretics or laxatives.
Suit-sauna: reviews from doctors
Doctors, speaking about clothes for weight loss, do not recommend using them for people with a BMI (body mass index) over 30, as well as for those who suffer from any diseases of the lungs, kidneys, heart, and pelvic organs. Dermatologists focus on the fact that dehydration reduces skin tone, and this, in turn, leads to sagging and premature aging. Gynecologists do not recommend that girls overheat the abdominal area, as this can pose a serious threat to reproductive health. Therefore, when deciding to purchase a suit, first consult with a specialist. Be careful about your health.
