Apple Cidar Vinegar to help with weight loss?

AimeeZingLife

I first read about organic apple cider vinegar in a magazine about Fergie of the Black Eyed Peas doing shots. It's to cleanse the colon of fatty deposits reducing cravings, and can help to lose up to a half pound a week. When taken after a meal it aids with digestion. At my last workplace, coworkers wanted to do this with me. After taking shots its effect on them cleaned them out and had stimulated bowel movements.

This website goes extensively into all of the benefits:

Some of the benefits I have found for its uses:
•Reduce sinus infections and sore throats
•Balance high cholesterol
•Cure skin conditions such as acne
•Protect against food poisoning
•Fight allergies in both humans and animals
•Prevent muscle fatigue after exercise
•Strengthen the immune system
•Increase stamina
•Increase metabolism which promotes weight loss
•Improve digestion and cure constipation
•Alleviate symptoms of arthritis and gout
•Prevents bladder stones and urinary tract infections
•Help reduce the appearance of cellulite.

Warning is to not take this vinegar without diluting it. It's acidity will overtime eat away at the enamel on your teeth.

As always add me on MFP if you haven't already. Thanks!!

My uncle drinks in throughout the day in all of his water. He swears he never gets sick anymore. Don't know, but that is what he said.

Braggs organic raw vinegar with the mother is the best. It works great for acne and heartburn.

Sure I'll go have some so I can end up vomiting a few seconds later.

I tried it for awhile, got REALLY bad stomach cramps. As soon as I stopped, stomach cramps stopped. I even tried taking it again because I heard someone raving about it again, and I thought why not give it another go? Stomach cramps came back lol, serves me right.

I take the GNC pills - not exactly for weight loss but if it helps - then awesome.
I'm actually hoping it helps clear up my skin.

chrisdavey

I use it for cooking...because it tastes good.

Ok,

There is no magic potion. I prefer to drink my vinegar while it is still wine.

meshashesha2012

this is such BS :laugh:

sorry but this myth has been floating around since at least I was a kid. I remember a few of my aunties were taking it with garlic because it supposedly helped lose weight :laugh:


let's just say that a few months later they were on to the next fad.

I drink it daily myself. It helps my stomach immensly. When I started drinking it I was suffering with a bloated stomach that felt like there was a rock in it. I was miserable. After a few days my stomach felt lighter and my pants began to feel comfortable. I lost 2 pant sizes in a month.

Now wether someone puts stock in it or believes it or not is not my concern. But unless you have tried it for yourself it doesn't seem you have room to place judgement on it.

Ok, I'm giving this a try! I just drank my first diluted glass.... ugggghhhh! How much am I suppose to drink? It's really strong.

AnvilHead

this is such BS :laugh:

But....but...a magazine said Fergie of the Black Eyed Peas does it!!!!! That's kinda sorta like scientific, riiiiigghhhht????

carebearhere

I try to have a tablespoon with a large glass of water twice daily, it definitely satiates me, not sure about the metabolic stuff, but I would recommend it, also eases sore throats. It's an acquired taste, but I can easily down a diluted glass now

The mind is more powerful than the body. Clearly.

I have the same stomach issues and your post convinced me to give this a try. I'm only 133 pounds but my stomach sticks out like I'm 6 months pregnant at night time. Anyway I drank some last night and completely "emptied" this morning. I am totally convinced and will be adding ACV to my diet daily. Thanks for the info!

I think wine has many health benefits.........

I am glad that it helped you. That is what is important, not the argument.

Braggs has a nice "health drink" recipe on the bottle. I make it from time to time to CORRECT PH. It does make me feel better. I use stevia instead of honey. I like the taste. Reminds me of bread and butter pickles. Yum.

I've used it for heartburn. I couldnt imagine drinking it every day.

astrampe

It definitely works for heartburn, and I found that my joints hurt less after running when I drink a tablespoon in water everyday - but for weightloss, stamina and all the other lovely promises in the list - NOPE....

To all the comedians out there, the health benefits of Organic Apple Cider Vinegar, ex Braggs with Mother of Vinegar in it have been well documented and it has been used to aid skin problems, diabetes, heartburn, obesity, sunburn, yeast infections, arthritis, high cholesterol and blood pressure and dandruff for centuries. Will drinking ACV daily mean it will cure you of everything, no. But then again nothing is a cure all, that doesn't negate the fact that it could be beneficial to you. I have taken it diluted with water and it did make me feel full much quicker. It is an acquired taste one I still haven't gotten used to hence my lack of commitment to it. Still I won't bash or criticize others who choose to give ACV a try. My sister uses it on her hair and raves about the results. There are a lot of natural products out there that do wonders, ACV just happens to be one of them.

aproc

So much criticism. :laugh:
I've started taking it to simply help with bloat and it does work for a lot of people with those issues. As others have said though, nothing is a cure all. Weightloss will come down to your diet. ACV might help you with digestion and other factors but it's not going to make you lose weight.

wilkyway

Okay, calm down people.
Certain things aren't for everybody. No need to go bashing posts, just because it doesn't fit your thing or diet/lifestyle philosophy.

I take it after large, rich meals, diluted with plenty water. Also, sometimes first thing in the morning.
For me it works, I feel good, no nasty side-effects. I eat a lot of raw foods and legumes and have noticed far less bloat and gas. *pardon me*

To each his own, but please folks, mind the bad language and aggressive tone. This ought to be a friendly community, and even criticism can be but politely

There is centuries of folklore and anecdotal evidence, but actual scientific studies have been very limited and inconclusive. Some studies have shown that it lowered cholesterol in rats, but since we're not rats it's not very applicable. There have been studies indicating that it helps in the management of diabetes, but the study groups were very small. The role of ACV in satiety was studied in 2006 (n=12) and even the authors themselves admitted that more research was needed before firm conclusions could be drawn. One study concluded that it reduced the risk of esophageal cancer, while another concluded that it increased the risk of bladder cancer. On the not-so-healthy side, researchers have hypothesized that it could decrease bone mineral density and have unfavorable, potassium-lowering interactions with laxatives, diuretics, insulin and cardiac medicines.

Here's an article about ACV, complete with a comprehensive nutritional analysis from the USDA Nutrient Database:
http://junkfoodscience.blogspot.com/2008/04/houston-we-have-problem-apple-cider.html

Below the analysis, the author discusses the nutrient values and notes, "...Its benefits come down to a magical “aliveness” and beliefs in an unseen, unmeasurable vital energy that negates all known laws of physics."

So while there is thousands of years of folklore and unsubstantiated testimonials, there is scant actual scientific evidence to prove the "benefits" of ACV.

Luckily I know that it helps control heartburn for ME better than anything else I've tried before - so I don't have to rely on clever people like you to tell me it's anecdotal....

The scientific research on ACV has been limited, but that is true for most natural and alternative therapies. That does not mean these natural and alternative therapies such as ACV don't have any benefits.

Here is another article on ACV from Dr. Mercola. Of course he practices alternative medicine, but he sites studies in his research of ACV : http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2009/06/02/Apple-Cider-Vinegar-Hype.aspx

I love going to the health food store and looking at all of the natural products out there that could benefit my body. Others would rather not, but centuries of folklore didn't just come to be without some level of truth. Many scientists and pharmaceutical companies are looking to the medicine men and women for answers to many illnesses. I am not saying everyone should stop taking traditional meds for alternatives but don't dismiss its benefits or criticize others on their choices, especially when its working for them.

Maybe it helps with weight loss by revving up some people's,,,, ehem, digestive tracts??? Ever noticed at an airports how much people crap in the middle of the day? Yes, that is because they are constipated and they get to the gate and see the tiny little puddle jumper they are about to fly on and it literally scares the crap out of them. Totally gross that I notice this.

jackieatx

You guys can play as much as you want but this stuff works. Not that I give a crap that fergie uses it.

hikeout470

I was not playing, that is the truth!
