Joe's got a video on ACV I believe. I used to take it a lot but have gotten out of the habit. I would mix 2tbs with about 6tbs of tart cherry juice and chase all that down with a glass of water. Don't breath through the nose during all this if you don't like vinegar (can't taste it that way). Others have their favorite thing to mix it with.0

Ok Ok, I admit it. I am a water snob. I am in love with European mineral water and buy them by the case ( Walmart is the cheapest source - but they don't have everything ). I drink litre after litre of Evian, Volvic, Jana, etc, mainly France, Italy, Croatia and Iceland.
I figure I don't smoke, drink, do drugs and am not a party girl, so I splurge on the good stuff.1 -

Whew! Coffee is OK. I've been avoiding this thread because I thought someone was going to tell me to give up my coffee! Ain't on.
So I drink quite a lot of coffee - 2-4 cups, depending on whether we make a second pot for the day. I drink it black. Water. A lot of water if I'm out to eat. Pitchers full. Not so much at home.
We have shelves full of black and green teas. I think puerh is my favorite. Drink herbal tea in the evening, Sleepytime is my current favorite.
As for that apple cider vinegar bandwagon - I'm waiting this one out. Sounds awful.1 -
@leveejohn Oh I did enjoy that Java Jive! Smooth jazz.1

Try 2 tbs ACV in fruit juice (I like grape), with 1tsp honey. ACV has a lot of weight loss benefits.amflautist wrote: »As for that apple cider vinegar bandwagon - I'm waiting this one out. Sounds awful.

At first I thought ACV was nasty...now I look forward to it!0

I just a had a thought on acv. I despise the stuff but I love dill pickle juice! I can drink dill pickle juice from the jar and I like it. I think it is the salt/vinegar combination that works for me. This is how I will get my vinegar in! I found a great recipe for making fridgerator pickles that only takes a few ingredients and is easy to make. I've made them using acv instead of white vinegar and they turned out great. I like to add red pepper flakes and garlic and make them spicy.

Let us know! I'm taking ACV "with the mother" as advised, but I wonder how much that really matters over any regular ACV . . . is it the acetic acid that does the trick, or all the extra goodies that make it cloudy? I'm thinking the former, but don't really want to waste some time finding out, so I'm using Braggs or equivalent.0

Black coffee (axed creamer yesterday), water, water, and more water, Chai Tea, Green tea with spearmint and lemongrass. I will add more to my tea arsenal as I go.
So much information about OMAD... I'm curious, what exactly is the ACV for?0 -

It directly speeds up weight loss, reduces cholesterol, improves digestion, and lowers insulin levels.1 -

And helps with gout!0 -
Anyone have any good coffee recommendations for someone who went from flavored creamers to black? I miss my creamer, but I am not craving it, I just simply miss actually enjoying a good cup. I have Folgers Classic Roast, it's tolerable and does the trick, but a bit bitter for my liking.0

Brewing the bitter coffee I have is really enjoyable if I add some cinnamon to the grounds, it takes the bitterness away.
Discovered that dandelion tea with 2 tbsp of cider vinegar and 1 tbsp of honey makes it taste quite a bit like lemonade! Let tea seep with the ingredients added, then add to a glass of ice!0 -
I just do mine with a few Splenda packets. Sorry. I'm no help! lol0

LOL. Well, I used the honey for my caloric drink with lunch :-)

I've been reading research papers again. There is evidence that ACV (or acetic acid) does good things for you and your diet! The research is unequivocal. In the research, the rats & the people were all given ACV along with their meal. The research showed that ACV lowers glucose levels when taken with a meal. (Not sure what it does if taken hours away from a meal.) Soldier on everyone!
Then, since I am not in any ACV mood, I wondered if lemon juice (citric acid) would do the same thing. The only research I could find on ACV (acetic acid) vs lemon juice (citric acid), was a paper on chicken feeding. The researchers were trying to figure out a way to enhance the weight gain of chickens, now that antibiotics (which are given for weight gain) are no longer desirable. They fed some chickens feed+acetic_acid, some feed+citric_acid, and of course there was a control group. Guess what - the chickens who were fed citric acid gained more weight than the other groups! Now this study was not controlled for total calories, as most studies would be. The chickens ate as chickens will do. Nonetheless, it can be said that chickens given feed+citric_acid will either eat more, or they will gain more on the same # calories.
So that settles it for me, I'm not going the citric acid route.1 -
I put 3 tbsp ACV in a 16 ounce glass of water, add one scoop food grade vitamin C, put in 10 drops of fulvic micro minerals, swallow it down with B Complex raw food tabs, zinc, Vitamin K, Vitamin D3, and 4 hydrochloric acid tabs, because I discovered I was vitamin B12 deficient, am a senior citizen and 20% of us don't have enough HCI in our stomachs to properly digest B12. I drink half of it before my meal and half after, and after that I dissolve a B12 tab under my tongue.

pre-meal part of the day (wake to 5pm)...have no issues waiting to eat, drinking coffee/water, not snacking/grazing, etc.
post-meal part of the day(5:30pm to bed)...the desire to extend the eating window on through the evening hits me several days per week. i still want to eat basically to a binge and the drinks don't seem to be as much of a help then.
any thoughts? are there things that you do to strictly cut off eating after the omad? does drinking juice at dinner possibly curb the post-meal cravings?0 -

You can always widen your eating window. Anything you have to do to help yourself not binge--unless you want a binge day once in a while, of course. Last week, my eating window was two hours later due to unforseen circumstances, I just drank the smoothie I normally have with my meal to help stave off my appetite until dinner an hour later--water, coffee, nothing else worked. However, my smoothies have bananas, blueberries, peanut butter, yogurt, and chia seeds. Although, I just made the smoothie sans the last three ingredients and made those separately in a dessert cup. lol

Gotta remember that it will take a while to eliminate higher levels of fasting insulin release. This happens when you adapt to OMAD. Your body will eventually stop and it will get easier if you are consistent.1 -
Morning - Iced Espresso with Splenda. I usually do about 40 to 60 ounces of water before afternoon. I drink water all throughout the day. In the evening I will have a diet soda or water with my evening meal as well.0
