I always feel refreshed afterwards, but I highly doubt it has any significant effect on fat loss. Training and diet should do enough that you don't need something as gimmicky as a sauna to drop fat. /soapbox Dipping is similar to smoking, minus the respiratory issues that smoking presents. Obviously it's bad for lots of other reasons, but it's hardly the worst thing you can be doing as far as vices go.

As for the dipping. No worries.
