in Health and Weight Loss
As I look online for smoothie/ protein shake recipes I have come across a lot that have apple cider vinegar. Seriously?! the comments claim that just adding it has done wonders. So does it really work or can I just skip it? HAs anyone used it for weight loss?

    I use it to make salad/sandwich dressings. I don't believe the hype that it makes much difference in weight loss though. Raspberry ketones, green tea, green coffee, apple cider vinegar. If all it took to lose weight were these things there be a lot less people overweight, don't you think?

    I just did not know if there was reasoning behind it? I can not imagine people actually liking the taste of it? Im not sold on it. Just wanted to make sure I wasnt missing something. Most of the ingrediants I understand why they are in there. Just not that apple cider vinegar.

    I would just skip it.

    People claim that it helps with weight loss, digestion, metabolism, detoxing the body etc.... it doesn't make you lose weight, increase your metabolism or detox your body.

    It is a great addition to dressings though.

    I've never heard of putting it in a smoothie...that sounds gross. I do use it in a few recipes, but thats it. I had no idea it was supposed to help with weight loss.

    I use it for cleaning apples... I wouldn't dare eat it. It smells awful.

    I use it when I have heartburn or any kind of bloating or indigestion. 1 tablespoon organic apple cider vinegar (with the mother), 1 tablespoon honey, and about 12 oz water. It has a lot of health benefits.

    Thanks. That answers my question. I didnt know what the purpose was. I figured what ever it did had to be far fetched. I just didnt want to leave it out if it actually had some important nutritional value

    The only way I let it touch any part of me, is when I add some to my hair mask.

    I use it as a conditioning rinse in my hair. I also add it to pie crust.

    Don't know how it is for weight loss...but I like to have a bowl of baby carrots and a shot glass of apple cider vinegar. The flavors are great together:)

    BIG FAT NO for weight loss.

    It's great for other things though like a facial toner, wound cleaning solution, etc.

    But get Bragg's. Not that ****e from the grocery store.
