    My boss drinks this in his coffee to help with his arthristis in his hands. He wants to puke every time but says it works.

    Hadn't heard of it, so turned to Google.

    Seems to be some evidence that its consumption is correlated with slight (about 2-3 lbs over 12 weeks) weight loss (perhaps through a role in suppressing appetite) .

    See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_cider_vinegar for details.

    Yummy. Love raw apple cider vinegar with honey as a drink on empty stomach, or after a meal. Kinda settles the tummy, reduces my craving for dessert.

    I put 6 oz of unfiltered apple cider vinegar in my chickens water every week. An apple a day...but do the chickens lose weight??? Not that I have noticed...

    I like it for when my stomach is feeling a bit wonky or if I'm a bit bloated... honestly, sometimes I crave it. Occasionally, I'll throw a few cucumbers into the glass and it tastes all sorts of fresh and salad-like that it can hold me off if I'm in between meals.

    I read that it is good for helping prevent asthma problems. I've had nothing BUT asthma problems as I live in WA state, humid, cold and lots and lots of trees. The ACV does seem to help. The flavor takes some getting used to, but I take it daily and I think it helped with my acid reflux, too!

    I haven't heard it's good for that, but it seems like it's good for just about everything else!

    I've taken a few tablespoons of ACV to help with bloating.. and it has worked. But I can't say it will make you lose weight at all.

    Dont really try my recipe I was teasing. It will just make your stomach burn, you vomit from the cod liver oil, and get the poopoos from the castor oil..

    I'm so glad you put this, i was going to say your miracle concoction sounds gross!Glad you were teasing ;-)x

    If you get a bad sunburn, apply it to a soft (very soft) towel and apply generously to avoid the burn from actually burning and the skin from peeling away. We learned about this on vacation and have used it two or three times.

    Now in terms of helping to lose weight. Not to my knowledge. Want to lose weight? Simply consume fewer calories than you are burning each day.

    Green Tea, a good antioxidant, may also help speed metabolism. Also keeps your water from being so boring. I put a tea bag in my water bottle.

    I've heard the same thing about maple syrup (much tastier!). I think the real supressant is the big glass ofwater filling you up!

    Don't know about ACV, but if you ever burn yourself while cooking, immediately put white vinegar on it. You won't be sorry! It's amazing! :flowerforyou:

    I would agree that it does help suppressing appetite...probably because it tastes so nasty. I use it in pill form to help with bloating and upset stomach. It has helped with my bloating IMMENSELY. I had so many stomach issues, a cup of water would bloat me like crazy and I'd have to unbutton my pants! I find it also makes me very "regular." Maybe that's what they mean by aiding in weight loss?

    I take it when I get a bout of the gout, it works well. New Seasons has some pretty good ACV drinks that taste much better than mixing it with water and honey, which is usually how I take it.

    Calorie deficit = weight loss.

    Hit your calorie goal and exercise.

    And be sure to make those calories nutritionally dense... to optimize your overall health.

    I tried doing a little ACV in water before meals and it worked (sorta) because I lost my appetite because it made my tummy hurt. I didn't continue because it was super uncomfortable. Filling up on fluids in general will discourage you from over eating. I prefer Kombucha these days because it's far gentler on my stomach and helps with the discomfort I get from my lactose intolerance plus I get a little caffine boost.

    I have read so much about it as a natural "miracle" cure for a multitude of things. I don't know about the weight-loss effects, but my husband and I try to take it daily, because it has so many reported benefits.

    I doubt it really helps weight loss. Also a woman I know was into taking lots of ACV and she actually damaged her insides and needed hospital treatment, I think she was drinking it a neat though but still it puts me off.
