My husband has told me a couple times that drinking either a teaspoon or a tablespoon (he can't remember which one) of apple cider vinegar is good for you. I was also told by a friend that he used this as a weight loss tool. I've been trying it since it's good for you anyway. Every time before breakfast, lunch, and dinner I take a 1/2 of a tablespoon. I've been gaining weight while trying to lose and to my surprise this morning the scale went back down to where I was last week. Has anyone else tried this?

    Hi there.

    It has to be Unfiltered Apple Cider Vinegar with the mother in it, such as Braggs or Spectrum brand.

    I use Braggs as I like the taste of it much better. I take a shot glass full every morning and it is great for relief of heart burn too.

    It's fantastic for many things. I agree -- get the stuff with the Mother in it. It looks like little brown strands, but that's where the main nutrition comes from.

    It's fantastic for heartburn, great when you're congested, etc. It's fantastic stuff, but tastes horrible. lol It's good as a salad dressing, though, when mixed with some sort of oil (I like hemp).

    I just bought some, but be careful. I hear it is bad for your tooth enamel. Use a straw or brush your teeth immediately.

    Never ingested it, it's never actually occurred to me to do that despite it being food. I wash my hair with it! Might consider adding a little to my salad when I have balsamic on it.

    I doubt that it's going to have the dramatic effects you're attributing to it.

    I drink 2 teaspoons of Bragg ACV in water 3 times a day (before meals) but I didn't start this for weight loss--I started because I have an ACL knee injury that has started flaring up and the ACV is good for inflamation. ACV has amazingly reduced the pain I have from endometriosis, as well :)

    My Great Grandmother always did this...not sure how much she took but I remember my Mom telling me about it. I'll have to ask her and maybe give it a try. I use to take the apple cider vinegar supplements.

    I know a lady that works in a Pharmacy in St Louis that said all she did was add 2 tablespoons Braggs ACV to her daily eating and she said she lost 65 pounds in 4 months. She mentioned several times that she did not change anything else around her eating habits.
