I was talking to one of my co-workers about my water retention. she suggested that I Drink a tablespoon of Apple cider Vinegar in a glass of water. well I never heard of it! so I looked it up on the web and it says its a very natural way to aid in weight loss as well as help with water retention and other stuff. Has any one tried this before?:huh:

    I take ACV everyday for a variety of reasons. it is an amazing, natural remedy for so many things!! I take it for a toenail issue (I hate the f word!) from years of locker room ickiness. the vinegar balances your ph balance in your body which can cause fungus (oops I said it!) to grow under your nails.

    It is a little hard to swallow but you get used to it!! :drinker: I take one tablespoon in the morning.

    I have actually been meaning to post about ACV for sometime now and just keep forgetting! So thank you!

    Kelly,

    Absolutely! I saw results in less than a month. I am also applying tea tree oil to my toenails.

    I read a great article that linked acne to the f problem as well and I have to say that since I started using ACV regularly I don't breakout like I used to either. I was like a 40 yo teenager with the zits!!

    Just a suggestion especially for anyone new to taking ACV - don't drink it straight. It will burn like crazy! Dilute it with water or even apple juice if you really want to mask the taste.

    I second this!!

    Absolutely true! It is very hard on the esophogus! Feels like heartburn type burn.

    I totally agree with this post. I started taking AVC for weight loss reasons, but it actually got RID of my allergies. Now I take it all the time. It didn't make me loose weight by the way, just 2-3 water lbs. but, the other health benefits are way better. Drink up. But only 2-3 TEASPOONS (NOT TABLESPOONS) a day. any more, will put your ph ballance the other direction.
    remember: it's about ballance. You aren't trying to burn a hole in your stomach.

    Think I'll give it a shot and see--been retaining a little water over the last 3 days and can't seem to get rid of it. Maybe ACV will help.

    BLACHHHHH!! Oh my gosh--how can anyone drink that stuff? :sick: I diluted 3 teaspoons in water, and it was absolutely disgusting. There's no way I could drink that on a daily basis. I can't dilute it with juice to kill the taste either since juice is a no-no with my diabetes.

    Guess I'll have to wait for the fluid to leave on its own because I ain't drink that stuff again! :sick: :noway:

    Whenever I'm retaining water or "over-indulged" on something I'll do a shot of ACV too. I think it does help with weight loss, but it is all different kinds of nasty getting it down. (bleeeech)

    I down a large glass of water immediately following then pop a piece of gum in my mouth. :tongue:

    My hubby's thoughts exactly. I told him he would get use to it and he said, "No, I won't because I'm not drinking that stuff again!" :smile:

    It is yucky, but you get used to it, try diluting some more. I use seltzer water instead of regular water, don't know why but it seems to psych me out more.

    I actually don't mind the taste- call me crazy - it is not pleasant but the benefits outweigh the taste issue. :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: <
    me drinking a big glass this am!

    I did drink it down, but now I feel sick to my stomach....I don't think I can do this everyday. I'll see if I can find them.

    --oh, wanted to share that ACV works wonders in fighting warts.
    My sons both had warts, my oldest had them pretty badly..over 30 and we couldn't get rid of them ...we finally tried ACV on them...dab a little into a piece of tissue and put it on the wart over night with a bandaid ....it only took days to start seeing results.
    My kids have been wart free ever since

    I had a Doctor tell me once to take a tablespoon of Apple vinager with honey in the morning to help with authrits. Now they have Apple Vinagar pills. So look into them if you can not take the Vin stright.
