    It won't help with weight loss. It has been shown to have some other health benefits, but you can also find reports out there claiming it hurts you in some ways too.

    Maybe to induce vomiting, but no magical weight loss panacea. Calorie deficit will cause weight loss.

    It doesn't have any magical properties that help with weight loss...it is tasty in many BBQ recipes and I like using it in some of the dressings I make.

    It does help with a charlie horse though...

    It does not help with weight loss.

    It makes a great addition to barbecue sauce, though.

    I take ACV capsules for two reasons. 1) It helps with digestion and I have a hard time digesting fats (I'm eating LCHF). 2) For me, it does seem to help sweets cravings.

    I don't see it directly impacting weight loss. If it helps with weight loss it's because I'm eating less sweets then I would be otherwise, but it doesn't "cause" weight loss.

    Do you apply acv directly on the skin, like a salve? I get Charlie-horses frequently.

    Applying ACV directly to the skin does get rid of skin barnacles. I've done it two ways 1. put it on a piece of a cotton ball and used a band aid to get it to stick and 2. made a paste with bentonite clay powder.

    I used to get Charley horses but no longer do - I think for me the cause was a vitamin deficiency that I have since corrected. My SO used to get them a lot but no more after upping his water consumption after passing kidney stones.

    No, that's about the only time I'll shoot the stuff...I get really tight calves for whatever reason and charlie horses to follow...often after a long ride, even though I stretch and roll...the ACV seems to provide some quick relief...anecdotal as it is. My Dr. is the one who told me about it and he's not usually into woo and an avid cyclist like myself.

    Cool. I have tight calves, too, from lots of hiking. Thanks, good to know.

    Ah, skin tags! I have a couple on my eyelid. Somehow applying vinegar close to my eye doesn't sound so good but good to know. Thank you

    There is a woman at my work who sips on grapefruit juice mixed with ACV and lemon wedges all day long. Every time I see it I think "what about your teeth!?!"

    I like it in salad dressing. It's also nice mixed with honey in hot water when I've got a cold.

    Does bugger all for weight loss.

    Take ACV capsules instead. Then there's no teeth issues.

    Tastes great on pulled pork and is even a reasonable substitute for malt vinegar on fish & chips, but it does absolutely nothing for weight loss.

    Cool, I'll have to try that :)

    I dilute 2 tablespoons in a couple cups of water every morning. I use the organic, unfiltered stuff "with the Mother."

    Yes, calorie deficit is how we burn calories, we all know that. However, different foods have different nutrients that the body uses in different ways. Right? I've read a few things from a few sources and decided to try it. That, along with the diet I've chosen to follow, helped me lose 25lbs in a couple of months. I'm not doing it for just weight loss though, I believe it can benefit those with diabetes and/or high cholesterol. I have both. So I'll continue using it.

    I believe you could incorporate it in other foods like salad dressings, for example, and still reap the benefits. Just make sure it's diluted because straight up it can damage your throat and stomach.

    My bold.

    Insert 'or any other placebo' into the bolded sentence

    The 'diet I decided to follow' being the crucial part,not the placebo ;)

    I can take a little round pill and my blood pressure goes down.
    I can take a little oval pill and my (bad) cholesterol goes down.
    I can take another little oval pill and my diabetes becomes under control.

    BUT...

    Food and their nutrients can have no effects on how the body functions. Yes, that makes perfect sense.

    Yes, I will continue - happily - with my "placebo." :smiley:

    I like the taste of apple cider vinegar so i drink it it seems to aid in digestion as does good balsamic vinegar. try it, sip a shot just before dinner. will it end world hunger, bring us peace with or without honor? no. Might it help you feel better and add a rich savory component to your meal... i think so.
