I have read a lot of good thing about this stuff...how do you intergrate it in what you already eat? And have you seen positive results as well?

I'm curious to hear your ideas/suggestions & opinions..

    I bought two bottles with the best of diet intentions, but I ended up using it on my hair and to kill stinkbugs. :P

    I take it with 8oz of water, as a shot.
    Some people make salad dressing out of it.
    Some people use it as an egg substitute in cooking: see http://www.thecookinginn.com/eggsub.html

    i love it... and add it to soups and sauces (after they are already cooked and off the heat).
    i love it a a 'condiment' on salads, and even drizzled on poached eggs and all sorts of meals and veg.

    in fact i use it in place of salt for many many things.. i never drink it with water, prefer to use it on foods.. and usually 1-2 tblsps of it a day this way.

    I drink it in the morning with 8 oz of water. Can't do the shot thing. This is an excellent way to de-acidify your body. The more alkaline your body the better your immune system will be. I've been doing a glass a day for 3 months now.

    I can't wait to give it a try. Unfortunately I live in a very rural area and you can't get good quality apple cider vinegar around here, so I've ordered the Braggs brand online.

    ACV is supposed to aid in weight loss. It's generally believed that the nutrients, enzymes, and organic acids in it cause weight reduction by acting as an appetite suppressant, by increasing your body's metabolic rate, and also reducing water retention.

    That coupled with the fact that it's known to slow the rise of blood sugar after a meal leads to the suggestion that the taking of apple cider vinegar with a meal reduces the amount of insulin required to process the meal resulting in weight loss.

    Sounds good to me! :-)

    When I was in my 20's and 30's, I used to take apple cider vinegar faithfully every day. I drank it in water and used it with olive oil and seasonings to make a salad dressing. That was the processed stuff though. It helped keep me from getting colds in the fall and winter and maybe helped keep my blood pressure low, but I used to also take a garlic tab everyday too.
    Now, I buy organic apple cider with the mother and the benefits on Bragg's website are as follows:

    INTERNAL BENEFITS:
    •Rich in enzymes & potassium
    •Support a healthy immune system
    •Helps control weight
    •Promotes digestion & ph Balance
    •Helps soothe dry throats
    •Helps remove body sludge toxins (ooo, big UPPS here!)

    EXTERNAL BENEFITS:
    •Helps maintain healthy skin
    •Helps promote youthful, healthy bodies
    •Soothes irritated skin
    •Relieves muscle pain from exercise

    Seems worth it to me to continue taking it daily.

    Oh I take it 3x a day! I make a batch of iced tea and add 2 sweet N lows, 1-2 teaspoon Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar, and some lemon. It's absolutely delicious!

    (My Fiance does it similarly. He uses green tea, honey, and apple cider vinegar. Still good!)

    What does it do as a topical solution for skin? Do you use it for pimples or wrinkles?
