Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar, how do you take it?

I have gotten away from taking ACV regularly but keep meaning to start back. When I do take it, I generally just fill a shot glass halfway then top it off with water then just shoot it. If I'm taking it for nausea (it does work - at least for me) I mix it with some honey in a glass of water and sip on it.

sounds gross

i usually add a little apple cider vinegar when i make crock pot pulled pork, but otherwise, it's not something i "take"

Yeh it's good for bbq sauce as well. I don't know why you would drink it.

I actually take the pills, couldn't stomach drinking it anymore

Does it count as water?

I am not daily with it, but it does help certain belly trouble immensly... When I take it, I mix with raw honey. Raw honey helps my allergies so it is a double benefit. Some folks mix half and half, it really just depends on your preference and how many calories/carbs you allow for it. You can also diltue with water to knock back the acidity.

and this, coming from a guy who eats cooked bugs from a skewer.

Nothing wrong with a few bugs in the sauce when you are trying to survive. Protein!

Still not sure how to log scorpions though...

There are studies actually that suggest consumption of acetic acid does suppress fat accumulation [1], improves insulin sensitivity in diabetics [2], has measurable impact on animals [3], etc.

It's not so stupid as to merit mockery.

Is there a reason why? Doesn't sound to appealing.

First I've heard of it. Can't bring myself to listen to anyone who advocates detoxes either.

Since when is truth mockery? We've stated how we use vinegar, which happens to be in and on stuff. I recognize enough of the people on this post to know that we've (mostly) all seen the questions and inquiries regarding vinegar and the studie that basically state that, similar to eating hot peppers, it can have some benefit but has been unproven to show more than a negligible difference and therefore while I'm not going to insult someone who does think it helps them I'm also going to state the limited ways I use it.

I do use acetic acid in food but try to limit it in wine and mead for obvious reasons.

I love it in a smoothie! My favorite green smoothie? 1 cup water, 1/2 cup frozen pineapple, 1/2 cup frozen berries or peaches, 1 scoop Amplify XL Vanilla Flex protein powder, 1 T Chia Seeds (or Flax seeds), 1 T ACV, 1 T Matcha green tea powder, and a BIG handful of spinach!

I personally don't give a flying fig what OTHER people think. I use what WORKS FOR ME. Though I don't take ACV for weight loss. I find it helps my appetite (for those times when I'm craving everything!) and it does help keep me from getting colds and such and it gives me lots of energy. I can tell if I don't take it in the morning before I go to work. I'm tired and slow and feel sluggish. But if I remember to take it I feel refreshed and energized.

I just take two tablespoons with probably equal amount of water, suck it back with a straw real fast then take a big gulp of water. I use apple juice instead of water if I have some in the house and that really helps mellow the flavour but I don't usually have AJ around...
