Do any of you do apple cider vinegar to aid weight loss?

I use it for nausea, dandruff, sore throats & pulled pork but not weight loss.0

Wow, thanks. I had just heard that a few said it helped, I didn't say I was so ignorant as to think perhaps it was an alternative to exercise and good diet. I simply was wondering if I knew a few people already that did it perhaps more did as well and there was really something to it. I wanted experience from people who HAD tried it. Once again, people just love to be snarky for NO forseeably helpful reason other than to feel good about themselves. Thanks to those that gave just plain old positive input
I couldn't agree with you more. Don't let them bother you. They're generally people who have had some success and thus believe they're the bible on weight loss. It's simple arrogance. They also get there kicks from getting a ton of "lol's" from complete strangers on the internet with equally unimpressive credibility.
They should make a forum called "I Enjoy Making Unhelpful Snarky Comments b/c My Life is Just that Lame." That would at least give them something better to do so they would stop interfering with people who genuinely need some guidance.0 -
I use it all the time in BBQ sauce.0

It does nothing. HOWEVER, a little vinegar adds zing to a lot of foods that would otherwise need more fat and salt to be palatable. Try adding a little to soup or stew just before eating, on cooked greens, chicken... it's great!0

It is supposed to suppress hunger I think... I tried it when my eating got out of control when I my insomnia got so severe I didn't sleep for many days on end and I didn't think it worked at all.
Honestly the best combo is healthy and sustainable diet, sleep and exercise.0 -
When I was sick I drank 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar (make sure you get the one with "the mother") mixed with 1 tbsp honey and 1 cup of hot water. It really helped clear up my cough and sore throat. I've also heard it helps with digestion and acne. Hope this helps! 0

If it's on the internet it must be true. I heard they can't put anything on the internet that isn't true! And I'll be going out with my French model later today, I met her on the internet! Bon Jour!
Do your research... inquiring minds want to know, Right!

Don't freak out about cider vinegar being acidic. It is good for digestion and probably doesn't harm most people (maybe if you're already prone to ulcers?). Especially since it's about a 4.6 on the pH scale, which is fairly weak for an acid. Don't knock OP for asking, either. I've heard that it assists in satiety, but I'm not going to just throw it into my diet without proof.0

While they're at it, they should make a forum called "I'm Looking For a Magic Pill Because I Don't Want To Put Any Effort Into Losing Weight". Then everybody who wants to can go there and discuss apple cider vinegar, raspberry ketones, green coffee bean extract, african mango, cleanses, detoxes and all the other worthless, ineffective diet scams....They should make a forum called "I Enjoy Making Unhelpful Snarky Comments b/c My Life is Just that Lame." That would at least give them something better to do so they would stop interfering with people who genuinely need some guidance.0 -
I rinse my hair with it, it's great for shine and condition.... I don't imagine it seriously helps with weight loss.0

It would be wonderful to get all the magic bullet search threads filed away somewhere that I never have to see them.0 -

Yeah...I put it in and on my bbq and in my sauces...so far it's not helping.0 -

I'd really love a forum for all the cynics on this site who immediately shut down a those scams with all the research they didn't do on the subject. Just because someone is curious about something (whether it's a scam or not) doesn't mean they're lazy or looking for a magic pill.
If you understood what I was trying to say, you would realize my comment had nothing to do with said scams. My point is, if someone has been given misinformation, you can help them out without being an *kitten* about it.0 -
See, the thing is, a lot of people here have read the research and know enough about nutrition to understand what a diet scam is and why they don't work. I have no intention of wasting my time or money personally trying out every one of these "magic pills" just so I can personally attest to the fact that they're ineffective (which I already know).I'd really love a forum for all the cynics on this site who immediately shut down a those scams with all the research they didn't do on the subject.

To many people here, "being an *kitten* about it" = "not agreeing with what I say".

OP: "What do you think about me eating 600 calories a day, burning 2000 calories doing cardio, doing the master blaster detox and taking Dr. Oz's <insert whatever latest miracle he's pimping here>? Will I lose 200 pounds, get a flat belly and tone up before my vacation in two weeks?"
Multiple Posters: (variations of "No" - often with advice to dump the magic pills, eat sensibly and mix in a sensible exercise program - and probably a few posts telling the OP that her plan is silly and won't work).
OP: "Oh, why are you all picking on me?!? You're all such a bunch of big meanie poopie heads!!1!!11!".
Other Posters: "Yeah, why does everybody have to shatter the OP's dreams? My friend's daughter's boyfriend's sister's cousin did the master blaster detox and ate burberry keytoons, and she dropped 50 pounds in a week - without exercising! You go, hon, don't let these big meanie heads tell you what to do!".0 -

Way too much sense is being made here.0 -

Wow, you are so wrong. The people who are telling her that they don't think it would work, aren't just saying "no, I don't think it will work, the best way to have weight loss is a balanced diet and exercise." They are making smart *kitten* comments about it as well. OP is not claiming she wants to try this to get out of having to exercise and have a balanced diet to lose weight! She was simply asking if anyone has tried it, because she wants to hear from people who have actually used it, rather than GOOGLE it!!!! take your smart *kitten*, big ego comments elsewhere!0 -

There's a difference between being helpful and being sarcastic. I have no problem with you stating you don't agree with the method. The forums are here so you can help other people or get help, not to entertain yourself by making the OP feel stupid for asking a simple question. Again, you seem to be missing the point...0 -
I use apple cider vinegar to help clean up pee-pee stains caused by my cats and dog.
Does it help with the smell too?0 -
I put a capful of apple cider vineger on my boxer's dog food every night as a flea deterrant. We've never had to buy feal medicine since we started doing that and she doesn't have fleas.0
-
I'm gonna try that with mine! I was just reading something about that. Thanks! It's almost flea season!0
-
I don't. I use it in a number of recipes, though. I made Sweet, Sour & Spicy Chicken Breasts in the oven for dinner last night. Apple cider vinegar was one of the ingredients for the marinade.
I also use it in my recipe for slow-roasted pork shoulder with apples and onions.
Mega nomz. :flowerforyou:0 -
I take it for digestion.. but there is a small Japanese study that claims it helps w/ fat loss.. not sure if it was valid. I use Organic Braggs in salads or just a shot if I had a heavy meal... why not?0
-
I had a bottle of Braggs in my pantry even before my recent change of eating habits/exercise routine. I originally bought it after hearing a story on the radio re health benefits. When I decided to give up all adult beverages for the month of January, I pulled it out as a substitute for my daily pre-dinner "cocktail": I mix 1.5 TBSP in a wine glass of cold water and enjoy the cocktail hour with my husband. It may be having an effect on the amount of food I fell like eating at dinner -- or it may be that my willpower is increasing. I'm only into my weight loss program by 2 weeks, and I'm only drinking the apple cider vinegar concoction once/twice a day, but if in the long-term it appears to have any beneficial effects, I'll be sure to repost.0

I use it in the same way as some of the previous posters. I use it as a hair conditioner, I have used it as an astringent for my face, and I like to use it for salad dressing mixed with some honey and Mrs. Dash.0
