No not really, just temporally.

It could help if you combined it w/ diet and exercise. The best to take is green tea extract meaning just a tiny few drops with a small amount of water. Green tea is a natural thermogenic and will make u sweat more when you work out. If you combined it with a healthy diet and exercise plan, you could lose up to 2 lbs a week.

I used self hypnosis to lose a 122 lbs.  Now I have also used a structure eating program with this as well.  At the end of the day, hypnosis or not, it is still a calorie in has to be less than calorie out equation.  \n\nThere is a large mental element to weight loss.  Your self image has tremendous bearing on your success.  How do you see yourself and can you see yourself being successful.  This is where hypnosis can really help.  \n\nPersonally I would avoid the group sessions.  Just my preference but I don't think the one shot deal is really effective.  I would go either with self hypnosis or using a qualified hypnotherapist.  As a guy with over 300 hours of training on the topic and personally successful in losing weight, I have got a pretty good feel for the topic.\n\nMy personal approach is to combine the hypnosis with a some sort of structured program.  As you replace the bad habit, you have have good ones to fill in.  Hypnosis is a great way to help change habits.  I used Weight Watchers.  Interesting thing is that many of the approaches you would take in hypnotherapy are found on what they call Tools for Life.

I don't know of any specific health drink,but there's solid evidence out there that drinking 24 ounces of milk in each 24 hour period will help you lose weight. For the best results,drink low-fat or skim milk.Good luck!\n                                  Lynne,RN

You could. Swimming burns a lot of calories as compared to other exercises. As long as the number of calories you burn is more than the number you consume, you will lose weight. So swimming is a good start. Good exercise and eating right will help with losing weight.

I agree with the other answers out there.  However, there's a misconception out in the world that drinking a lot of water will magically make you weigh less.\n\nIt certainly will help in your diet plan, but it is not a cure all.  It will certainly make you feel fuller and you'll burn some calories processing the water. However, I read that you'll burn a whopping 60 calories a day extra if you drink a 2 liter bottle of water every day. That's 4 pounds in a whole year (excluding exercise to and from the bathroom).  Probably not the goal you were shooting for.\n\nYour best bet to weigh less is exercise and healthy eating.  There's no magic method or pill.   Use a web site such as http://www.fitday.com to determine how many calories you need to eat and burn throughout the day.  It's free and they don't spam.  Check out magazines like Men's Fitness, Men's Health, Shape and Fitness to learn about exercise routines and healthy eating tips. \n\nThe bottom line is: educate yourself about your body and what goes into it. Practice what you learn and the weight loss will follow.\n\nGood luck.

Eat more fruits and veggies. Small portions but about 6-8 times per day. Start the morning with a full glass of water. And try to run or walk for about 20-30 minutes a day. This will speed up your metabolism and if your caloric intake is less than your calories burned, you will achieve weight loss. Oh yeah a steam room can help you lose water retention. Expect to lose between five to ten pounds.

I think it also raises your metabolism-- but I wouldn't recommend this as a method of weight loss.\n\nI am just so happy you spelled "lose" right! Thank you!

I think yoga can help you to great extent to lose weight. see one of article---\nWeight Loss By Yoga\n\nYoga has been around for thousands of years and it isn't until recently it conquered the western society.In yoga you will learn how to improve your muscular endurance, your flexibility, your balance and your coordination.\n\n\n    * Stand with the feet together and inhale the palms together in front of the heart in namaste position.\n\n    * Exhale and bend the knees, squatting down. Reach the hips down back as if you were going to sit on the edge of a chair, bringing your weight to the heels of the feet. Do not bring the hips lower than the level of the knees.\n\n    * Keeping the palms together, bring the left elbow to the right knee and look over the right shoulder at the back corner of the ceiling. Use the arms to roll the left shoulder up and back to feel a deep twist in the upper back.\n\n    * Breathe and hold for 3-6 breaths.To release: inhale and press down into the feet straightening the legs and inhale the arms up toward the ceiling

MYTH.   Here in South Texas, you can sweat in a rocking chair.  To lose weight you have to burn calories.   All you lose while sweating is water.\n\nChange your lifestyle and do this forever.  Drink lots of water, walk, run, or swim an hour every day except 1 then do stretching and upper body toning.   Eat fruits & vegetables.\n\nNo alcohol\nno bread\nno burgers\nNo candy\nNo chips\nno corn\nno fried foods\nNo pasta\nNo pizza\nNo potatoes\nNo sodas\nNo sugar\n\nGood Luck

Losing weight doesn't have anything to do with sweating. Follow a healthy diet using the Food Pyramid, and exercise regularly, 3-5 days a week for a minimum of 30 minutes a day. Don't cut out the carbohydrates because your body needs those for energy, but shoot for a goal of 100g a day. Eat 3 small meals a day with 2 small snacks and drink a lot of water. If you use a small plate at meal time you can trick you mind into thinking that you are getting more than you really are, and eat slowly, it may take up to 15 minutes for your brain to get the message that the stomach is full. Don't try to lose all of the weight at once, if you lose 1-2 pounds a week you will be more likely to keep them off.

It won't help you actually lose weight.  It just makes you lose excess water, which will only last the day.  \n\nWhat it will do is make your tummy look a little slimmer for a while, so if you know you're going to the beach tomorrow, wear it to bed, or wear it exercising.  It's just a quick, temporary fix.  I have one that I break out in "emergencies"  :)\n\nYou can lose a pound or two a week by just cutting back on calories and exercising every day.  A month is not too long to commit, especially for your wedding. This website has really helped me: http://nutrition.about.com/library/bl_nutrition_guide.htm\n\nI've lost 7 pounds (3 more to go!) just exercising 4 times a week and eating the number of calories it says I should.

Saunas are good for relaxing muscles in your body.  They are also good for releasing toxins in your body as you sweat. This is a huge benefit. Aroma therapy in generally used for mind and sould.  Certain scents are proven to sooth, relax and calm your body- this would be a good place to do yoga for relaxation.  I'm not too sure what the benefit of a steam room would be... hmm

saunas are great for your skin.........they open up the pores......no other real benefits though.........you might drop a few pounds in water weight from all the sweat...........mostly just for relaxation....

Tea in general (or water!) "aids digestion", and if you like it, Pu-Erh will do so too, though no better or worse than any other beverage as far as I can tell.  There are some studies indicating it may help lower cholesterol, but there is no magic drink that can aid 'weight loss'.  The only way to lose weight is to burn more calories than you consume.  Eat less, exercise more.
