So all my coworkers are trying the Acv to help aide in weight loss. Does it actually help in the long run? And how much do you actually drink? Some websites says 2 tsp three times a day and others say 2 tbs three times a day. Which is it?

    Firstly acv tastes terrible can't stand it(my opinion)
    Secondly it doesn't do anything for weight loss unless you count throwing up as weight loss ;)

    The whole apple cider vinegar and weight loss thing has been around since the 1970's......didn't work back then either.

    It's been around for longer than that - my mother remembers her aunt (or great aunt?) do an ACV based diet in the 1920s or 1930s...in order to fit into a dress for a ball. Nothing changes.

    I've never been a fan of the taste of any vinegar, though the smell of red wine vinegar takes me back to Sunday suppers over my grandmother's house. Mmmmm... meatballs and home made spaghetti sauce....

    Sorry, ACV does nothing for weight loss and tastes pretty terrible in my opinion. A lot of people like to use it as a hair rinse, though.

    I agree that ACV does not help in weight loss but it does help in having better digestion and control the acidic amount in our stomach, which in turn helps in weight loss. I had big time acidity issues last year, but the day i started taking 2tsp od vinegar in water before every meal, i was finally out of my acidity issues

    Neither. It's bunk.

    OP search the forums for it and you will see a bunch of similar responses. It is not a magic wonder formula - some people do claim that it has helped to reduce their appetite, but me personally I reckon that's probably cos it tastes foul :lol:

    To lose weight eat less than you burn and all will be good. If something claims to help weight loss and costs money it's probably a scam!

    Good luck

    Acv can help with weight loss. It can help with insulin levels, which in turns aides in weight loss. It also helps lower blood pressure. There are several benefits to acv just google it. Like anything moderate food consumption and exercise is key but acv has great benefits for the long run. Most ppl just hate the taste. I personally can tolerate it, as long as I don't smell it. Good luck

    Most people do not need anything to help with insulin levels ,the body regulates them quite well.

    Unless they are diabetic - in which case they should be taking whatever their doctor prescribes, not acv

    Likewise if they have blood pressure problems.

    I dont 'just hate the taste' -I just think it is silly woo nonsense.

    Just because Google comes up with results doesn't mean it is true. If it were I would really think Hillary Clinton and most other political people are lizard people. ACV has been put forward as aiding in weight loss since at least the 1970s. If it worked, everyone would be using now we are almost 40 years after that. It doesn't help in weight loss.
