Who drinks ACV here and doesn't it really work?

jckgmz

Hello! I'm almost new here and I've been doing a keto diet which has helped me loose some weight. I was 220lbs after I had baby in January and I'm currently at 196lbs.

I saw and read that drinking apple cider vinegar helps too, has anyone tried this before? What changes did you noticed on your body, energy etc?

I've been drinking only for a week once in the morning and once at night as well this is my concoction lol
• 1 cup of water (some times I add more to get more water intake)
• 1/4 cup of ACV (I eye it out I dont measure it really lol)
• 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon of turmeric powder
• 1/4 teaspoon of ginger powder
• a big pinch of ground black pepper

Also feel free to add me! I need motivation friends too!

There is no good evidence that apple cider vinegar will help with weight loss.

People who lose weight while drinking apple cider vinegar are in a calorie deficit -- they're confusing the results of the latter with the former.

I don't use it for weight loss. But I do use it in my cooking and to make a delicious salad dressing. But I turn it into four thieves vinegar first, because I find it delicious in so many things.

I haven't tried it for weight loss, but when I use it I notice it helps with my digestion and bloating.

It works great on pulled pork.

It does absolutely nothing for weight loss. It's just another diet industry scam.

Oh my god, that sounds delicious! Another one to try. It's also really good as a hair rinse, to give it a nice shine.

I used it to clean my shower yesterday. Gives it a nice clean smell that doesn't make me feel like I need to open a window.

It is yummy on salads and to marinade chicken with! It will do absolutely nothing for weight loss though.

The only thing drinking ACV will help you lose is your will to live.

Gives me wicked heartburn. But does nothing for weight loss. This diet woo goes back to the 1970's (at least).

I took it for months for something unrelated to weight loss. It did nothing for either.

I use the cheap gallon jugs of ACV for cleaning and Bragg's for cooking.

Works great to get the smell out of new clothes - I soak them in a tub with water and about a cup of ACV. It's also a great natural fabric softener. Wet clothes will smell like vinegar but this dissipates as they dry.

It is great on pulled pork and for making braised cabbage with apples. It does nothing for weight loss.

It's an excellent fruit fly trap (mix with 1 part water and a couple drops of dish soap)

It can help aid in weight loss it helps some people to curb their appetite. You don't have to add all those extra ingredients just ACV is fine and it doesn't taste too bad if you enjoy sour things.

If you feel like it helps you, then go for it!

Great for making a vinaigrette!
I used some to clean my coffee maker today.
Low calorie so that may help with weight loss, but there truly are no miracles for losing weight.

I love it as bait in my fruit fly trap. Works great and I don’t have to worry about the cats getting into it.

Congratulations on making progress!
I find ACV nice as part of a low-calorie drink (apple cider vinegar limeade), and as a marinade. Neither of those has done anything startling for me, but ACV is a nice element of some low calorie recipes that I have been using as I work to lose weight.

While logging meticulously and losing 50+ pounds a couple of years back, I drank ACV daily for weeks at a time, and didn't drink ACV daily for weeks at a time.

There was zero, zip, nada, no difference in weight loss rate between the times I was drinking ACV, and not drinking ACV. I didn't perceive a difference in appetite or satiation, either.

(My reasons for drinking it in the first place - or stopping it, for that matter - had nothing to do with weight loss.)

I think ACV is pretty tasty (I like vinegar in general, and put it on lots of things), but I don't think I'd enjoy the mixture you're drinking, OP. In my world, life is too short (and calories too few) to eat/drink things I don't enjoy, when there are so many delicious, nutritious things in the world.

If it's working for you, go for it.

Oh, good info! My husband routinely forgets his clothes in the washer overnight, and the stench in the morning is overwhelming. Rewashing them doesn't get it all out, and when I've used vinegar I always re-washed them after because then they smelled like...vinegar. Next time (because there will be a next time) I'll try drying them.

That sounds disgusting and doesn't do anything for weightloss. It will however, ruin the enamel on your teeth.
