in Health and Weight Loss
So I drank AVC for about 3 months morning and night and I realised it was making me more hungry instead of doing the opposite. Now I've taken a break on it since it wasn't making any difference.

Was I doing something wrong?

    Taking it in the first place. It does nothing for weight loss.

    Yep you were taking ACV and expecting it to do something for weight loss, it doesn't.

    Calorie deficit is what you need for weight loss.

    Visit your dentist as it can really damage your tooth enamel.

    Reducing your calories below the amount you burn each day is the only way to lose weight.

    This is important especially if you were taking it on its own as a "shot" instead of properly diluting it.

    yes, taking it thinking it would suppress your appetite.

    Take this advice seriously. It can ruin the enamel on your teeth

    ACV, based on my experience, is irrelevant to weight loss. (I've drunk the stuff for unrelated reasons for weeks at a time while logging meticulously, and didn't drink it for weeks at a time while still logging meticulously. Zero difference in weight loss rate. No difference in subjectively perceived appetite. None.)

    Based on my n=1, I think the concern about tooth enamel is overblown. Drinking mine as a shot, it's in my mouth for about a second, barely touches my teeth (straight down the middle), and is followed by water. There's more tooth contact from vinaigrette dressing on salad. My dentist thinks my teeth are great.

    Useless for weight loss IMO, though.

    No...ACV doesn't have magical weight loss properties...the only thing you did wrong was fall for a bunch of woo.

    Why do silly threads like this come up as often as they do?

    I literally lose IQ points every time I see one.

    I know, there must be a new thread every day just like this one :blush:

    No need to drink ACV unless you just really like the taste (which I cannot imagine lol)- just stick with CICO!

    Just to be clear I wasn't drinking it for weight loss but to aid digestion.
    Thanks for the replies.

    You mentioned hunger in your OP so not surprising people would assume weight loss was your aim.

    This one?

    I am not the biggest fan of their blog. Sometimes woo is peddled but for the most part they seem to get it right. From the above blog post...
    While it certainly won’t do you any harm to drink a shot of diluted apple cider vinegar each morning, the research isn’t compelling enough to support the weight-loss claims.
