Hi,

I am new to this site.
Like to know if any of you have used the apple cider.
Read all mixed reviews online not sure what is true anymore.

Please share

    I use it for cooking and I know people who use it for acid reflux and IBS.

    But when it comes to weight loss, I've not seen one peer-reviewed clinical trial that shows apple cider vinegar has any effect on weight loss. The ACV weight loss claim has been around since the 1970s. If it worked, there wouldn't be any overweight people today.

    I used some to curdle the almond milk to make my vegan cornbread. As a flavoring, it's great! As a weight-loss tool, not so much (but the cornbread comes out of a low-fat cookbook if that helps).

    I use it as a rinse for my hair sometimes. It makes it super soft!

    I had no idea people use it for IBS. I shall be looking into that momentarily.

    For weight loss, no. Sorry, but no. It could help if you use it as a substitute for high-calorie dressings on salads. Because weight-loss always comes down to burning more calories than you take in. Eat at a deficit and you'll lose, OP. Good luck!

    Just to be clear: I know people who use it for IBS, but I've no idea if it's effective. ;)

    I'm glad you came here to ask. I wish I had known about MFP before I tried some of the crazy things I did.

    What crazy things DID help you?

    None of it. There was one product I tried that I lose weight on, but I would never recommend it to anyone. It made me so sick that I couldn't eat. Voila! Calorie deficit! It also made me so tired that I came close to falling asleep while driving one time. It just messed me up.

    I would of been guzzling it by the gallon if it worked, at 300 pounds, if it was that easy, i'd of done it for sure.

    Yep I'd be doing the same, even though it is the most vile concoction I've ever tasted, and it put me off of vinegar FOREVER! If it actually worked for weight loss, I'd toughen up and put on my big girl pants and chug those 2 shots a day, like i did for 6 straight months..... which consequently scarred me for life and still makes my face involuntarily contort whenever someone utters the words Apple Cider Vinegar :confounded::cold_sweat:

    Completely changed the way I think about food and exercise. And I realized that to lose all of the weight that I need to lose I'm going to have to be patient and trust the process.

    Apple cider would be good for increasing confidence in your appearance.... Drink more, look better (working in the same way as beer goggles)

    Apple cider vinegar on the other hand won't, but it makes decent salad dressing.

    Think about logically. If all you had to do to lose some weight was to drink some apple cider vinegar - do you think there would be any overweight people?

    Eating less and moving more. That's it.

    There is no magic pill, product, food, or beverage that is going to give you long term, sustainable results. Weight loss comes from a calorie deficit, period.

    Since you are new to MFP, I suggest reading the stickied "most helpful forum posts" at the top of the getting started section of these forums. They have a wealth of good information about how to use this site for maximum success.

    Good luck!

    Eating at a calorie deficit. That's it. Nothing more crazy than that needed.

    Can I ask where you heard about the weight loss benefits of ACV? It seems to be a bit of a craze this January, and many of us are curious where it is being touted as a weight loss helper.

    Thanks.

    I'd lose weight if I added it to my food. The stuff makes me want to vomit. Maybe that's how it works, you feel ill and don't eat anything?

    Cutting my food intake and increasing my activity level - crazy I know :lol:

    Bingo! Nutrition and exercise - who knew such an off-the-wall concept would work?

    I am so glad i deleted facebook... I have also kind of slithered away from pinterest too because my entire suggestion page when i open it is cluttered with detox soups and cleanses.. and i can't for the life of me understand why... I started off just searching recipes but you would think unless i put those words in that it wouldn't be in my suggestions.. Sigh.. oh well.
    I guess my things to do with Tuna board will never be useful lol

    I deleted my Facebook too, or "Fakebook" as my hubby likes to call it. I never quite worked out how to use Pinterest, and forget about twitter and instagram, I'm not even going to go there. I live in ignorant bliss of the ins and outs of social media.
    MFP is the only Forum/message board I use, and it's more than enough for me.

    I still have a facebook account, but I have zero friends. Not even my wife. But I use it to track some blogs (including MFP) and a couple companies I'm interested in. You can get some good coupons with a Facebook account. But yeah, the social side of it escapes me. And the ads are really dumb (hence this thread).

    My attitude has carried over here where I have no friends, by choice.

    hmm, let's see.. It's a good hair rinse/detangler (removes the shampoo residue). Also good at removing soap residue from plasticware (I add a few cups to the rinse water - otherwise my yogurt and cottage cheese will taste like soap (I pre-portion out)). Also good on french fries, a bit in rice,..
