    No, but it's great in hot and sour soup.

    It's delicious and I cook with it a lot, but I don't think it would really help you lose weight as a supplement. Great as a salt substitute though.

    It's not going to make you lose weight any more than any other kind of vinegar (which is not at all). But I have a recipe for chicken adobo that uses it and it's AWESOME!

    Vinegar doesn't help you lose weight. Losing weight is purely a matter of caloric reduction. Your calories in must be less than your calories out.

    What if you consumed only ACV? ;)

    I went through a whole bottle of the stuff, 2 tbs per day. It doesn't work. I agree with Corey

    No but I don't need to use it to know it doesn't work.

    Nobody in history has successfully used apple cider vinegar to lose weight. It's great in salad dressings, though.

    I haven't ever heard of doing this (it kind of sounds a little "fad like), but, I do use ACV as my salad dressing. It really brightens up the veggies and I find I don't really miss the typical dressings I used to use.

    I take a shot of ACV before dinner most nights. I don't think it does anything directly to impact weight loss, however I do feel fuller a bit sooner. I admit it may all be in my mind though, but it doesn't seem to be harming anything so I've kept with it.

    As a weight loss aid, no. But I do drink 1 tablespoon of ACV mixed with some water and lemon juice every morning. I have IBS and it helps control my bloating and indigestion. It has several health benefits that seem to be supported by research, and it's certainly not harmful, but it doesn't help you lose weight. Eating fewer calories does, though.

    Make sure you see your dentist regularly; acids can wear away tooth enamel, so make sure you aren't harming your teeth at your next dentist appointment.

    Yeah I usually follow it up with a large glass of water to help fill the stomach before the evening meal, which I sort of assume also cleans any residual vinegar from my teeth, although maybe I'll start swishing it like mouthwash to be safe. I did also start eating my meals a bit more slowly around the same time as well. I'm certain that the water and slower eating are helping as well so it's entirely possible that the ACV is doing nothing for the fullness effect, but it does seem like there's other health benefits to it and even if it is all in my mind it does seem to help, in a bit of an indirect sort of way I suppose. I've just gotten used to it and I kind of like it... like a silly sort of appetizer. ;)

    No. I eat less calories and lose weight.
    I use apple cider vinegar in cooking where required.

    I cut all of my salad dressing with it (1 part dressing, 2 parts ACV) and I rinse my hair with it (shiny) and no smell at all.

    People who use baking soda to wash their hair, usually follow up with apple cider vinegar to condition their hair. It's not just for eating, it's a beauty product too ;)

    I've actually been doing a detox for a little while with ACV and cayenne pepper. I researched that apple cider vinegar lowers blood sugar and insulin levels and having Apple cider vinegar along with high-carb meals can help you feel more full. It's not directly related to weight loss though. The cayenne pepper, however, helps with metabolism, calorie burning, and can reduce appetite. So the two together work great. I usually get a 6oz cup with water, two teaspoons of ACV, and two dashes of cayenne for the detox.

    Sorry none of that is true.
