    I used to try drinking cider vinegar diluted in apple juice as a natural pain reliever for gallstone attacks (side note: it didn't work) and so all I can see this doing to "help" you lose weight is make you so nauseous before your meals, you don't eat as much.

    I guess I should mention that I DON'T DRINK THIS! Based on y'alls responses y'all think I do. I don't need a lecture. This is a discussion board, right? I was just curious since I've seen it pop up on Pinterest countless times.

    You asked if it works - people said No, often with some explanation of why not - how is that giving a lecture???

    Yes it is a discussion board - and people are discussing the question.

    Although it doesnt really need much discussion - simple answer: No it wont

    I don't think you're getting lectures, this is a forum. You asked a question, and everyone gave you their opinions. Most opinions are that anything with the word "miracle" is just garbage. Do the work, put in the time, work your butt off, get results. Just like everyone else. xo (Just my two cents, not lecturing!)

    That "recipe" makes no sense. How can you mix all those liquids and get a "paste"?

    That's a REALLY good point...

    and once it is a paste, how do you drink it??

    Common sense tells me that adding a 140 calorie beverage before each and every meal may very well have the opposite intended effect.

    This is what you asked: "I've been seeing this on Pinterest and I wonder if it works?"

    And you got mad because you apparently got the answer you didn't want to hear.

    Okay lol

    Stop getting weight loss advice from Pinterest.

    Unless it makes you eat less at the following meal, less than you normally would, and less than the calories of the drink.

    It's a diuretic, bad for your teeth, and grapefruit nullifies the benefits many prescription medications as a side note. I'm hoping this post was made in jest but if not, just no :lol:

    Actually grapefruit juice makes most prescription drugs more potent, which is the big danger of drinking it.

    https://www.drugs.com/article/grapefruit-drug-interactions.html

    "Grapefruit juice decreases the activity of the cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) enzymes that are responsible for breaking down many drugs and toxins. Grapefruit contains compounds known as furanocoumarins that block the CYP3A4 enzymes. When grapefruit juice is consumed, the enzyme’s ability to break down the drug for elimination is decreased. Blood levels of the drug may rise, resulting in the risk for new or worsened side effects. "
