I'll speak for my middle daughter, who does use myfitnesspal, does use ACV every day as directed by interwebz, does count calories, does get a varied diet, and does lots of walking cardio to maintain her trim figure.
That's like of grade school sorting skills question. "Which of of these things doesn't belong?"

I've used it to remove a couple of moles, but that's the only experience I've had with it. It works really well for that, though. Burned off the first mole in about four days, the second in only two!2

Not sure if the link will work but this video gives you an idea of the benefits (or lack there of).

While losing weight, and logging food/exercise/weight as meticulously as feasible, I drank ACV daily for weeks at a time, and didn't drink it daily for other weeks at a time.
There was zero difference in my weight loss rate when I was drinking ACV vs. when not drinking it. Nada. None.
There was no difference in my appetite, or any other observable ancillary factor that might be related in any way to weight loss, when I was drinking ACV vs. when I wasn't. Zip. Nothing.
I've never seen any persuasive scientific evidence (let alone proof) that ACV aids weight loss. I've only seen woo (like Mercola).
Conclusion: ACV doesn't aid weight loss.
P.S. It's probably obvious, but I was drinking the ACV for reasons not related to weight loss. That I had meticulously-logged comparative periods with and without ACV was a cooincidence, not an intentional research plan.

It also does a bang-up job of removing cat urine stench from laundry, should you ever be so unfortunate as to need that. Ask me why I know. . .14 -

Good to know...
I'll keep that little bit of information on a bright pink sticky note on the washing machine...0 -
I don't know if there are any benefits to it, but I drink about 1 tbsp mixed with a cup of warm water, bit of ground cayenne pepper, bit of fresh/ground ginger, and a bit of lemon juice/zest.14

Why? Just because? Makes no sense.7 -

Oh, you mean it should actually be proven to *do* something beneficial before subjecting oneself to a concoction as vile as that because the internet said so? Silly boy.

Yanno how sometimes new clothes stink? ACV helps get that out AND is a natural fabric softener. I buy the gallon jugs of cheap ACV for the laundry room.
(I use Bragg's for cooking.)3 -

Someone left a banana on top of my refrigerator for a few months. When I found the mummified remains, the banana insides had been replaced with 100,000,000 fruit flies. I put out a tub of ACV and they were drawn right to it! Got rid of the flies within a few days. I didn't notice if they had lost more weight after drowning in the ACV.18

Seriously? That sounds like fire in a cup.3 -

Honestly, If you want these things in your diet, just add them.
If you want to supplement with them, you'll need way more than "a bit". See Examine.com for studied benefits of cayenne, ginger, lemon, etc and meaningful/effective dose.3 -

Here's more on using ACV for a fruit fly trap: http://kk.org/cooltools/apple-cider-vin/0 -
I tried a spoonful of ACV once. Tasted like I threw up in my mouth.
And then I did.6 -
I'm reminded of a murder mystery by Agatha Christie where the case hinged on the "banting" (dieting) of the murdered lady's companion. The companion was drinking a vinegar tonic every night and scanting on her dinners and the detective thought he'd figured out how the poison was administered only to discover that the companion ate a cornflour mixture meant for the lady who died, so that was out.
So the poor companion skipped the dessert course, subjected herself to a vinegar concoction, and then ate cornmeal mush instead and ate back all the calories she had saved. But it turned out the sprinkles on top of the dessert were poisoned so skipping it and drinking vinegar instead saved her life!4 -
Lord Byron apparently lived on vinegar and potatoes in an effort to lose weight, at one point.0

It's the "formula" for the "Master Cleanse" which was never actually proven to have any health benefits.1
