    Any weight you lose in a sauna is immediately replaced after eating and drinking. You only lose fluid weight.

    Zero point. What do you think it would do?

    A sweat suit is to drop weight fast by losing water. Boxers/fighters etc do this before fight weight-ins, it works and it a pretty important part of of training.
    After weigh-in they recover and rehydrate and return to their true weight. They lose no fat doing this.

    Anybody overweight doing this doesn't understand the concept

    Alcohol will also have a dehydrating effect and is a nicer way to lose water weight, if you wanted to. A girl in works BF was a jockey and she said the jockeys would be in saunas sipping brandy.
