    Sounds like a fad to me. And a rather unpleasant one at that.

    Personally, when calories are so precious to fuel my body, I want every single one to have a variety of nutrients and to taste wonderful.

    someone at work was doing that, and was drinking so much of it, it was coming out of his pores. No one wanted to sit next to him because he stunk from it.

    Classic!

    Vinegar kills bacteria and would kill all those beneficial bacteria in your gut. You would have to conclude your vinegar experiment with a yogurt cleanse.

    Do you have a source for this? From everything I've read, vinegar and other fermented foods are good for the gut.

    If you're going to be nuts enough to try this, at least have the good sense to dilute the vinegar first. Otherwise you're asking to burn your esophagus, which I assure you will help you lose weight because you won't be able to eat properly. But seriously, just eat less of everything you normally eat.

    I actually make a salad dressing with apple cider vinegar and it tastes very good. Just mix one part apple cider vinegar to 1 part of olive oil, add salt (to taste) and a little bit of agave (if you need it). I use honey to give it sweetness. :)

    Don't believe the woo. That being said, Apple cider vinegar makes a great hair rinse, and its the only thing that allows me to be able to comb through my daughter's curly hair.

    I tried apple cider vinegar once after I read it would help with constipation.
    It didn't, and I felt queasy and lost my appetite, because it tasted so nasty, even after diluting it with water.
    Perhaps that's the secret-eat crap that upsets your stomach and makes you sick-you'll lose weight because you can't eat!

    According to the USDA cider vinegar only has 50 calories per cup, so I suppose if you were drinking it instead of eating other foods, you'd reduce your calorie intake.

    have fun with the stomach ulcers from consuming 1000 calories a day of vinegar..

    that makes me sick just typing it...

    My MIL swears that it got rid of her GERD. But she also swears that coconut oil 'burned the fat' right off of her. I'm highly sceptical of anything that she tries. Pretty sure she's currently on a 'liver cleanse' -_-

    Do you like vinegar? Then by all means, drink it. If you don't, then avoid it. Either way, it won't have any bearing on your weight loss whatsoever.

    "The only study to test the idea in people was done in Japan. In the study, 175 obese but healthy people took either vinegar or water daily for 12 weeks. Their diets were similar. They kept food journals. At the end of the study, those who used vinegar had lost slightly more weight. On average, the vinegar group lost 1-2 pounds over the 3-month period. They gained it all back after the study was over." WebMD

    I lost 20 pounds over a three-month period by counting calories.
