    Thanks for all the replies and knocking some sense into me, apple cider vinegar is out haha. The military diet I'm using more as a way to somewhat get ideas of what to have for some meals, but there's no way I'm having 5 saltine crackers for lunch.

    But those are horrible ideas for meals. Hot dogs, saltines and ice cream? You can do so much better than that.

    I take a tablespoon of straight ACV if I get the hiccups --the shock of the the sour taste works every time. I also use it regularly in dressings and marinades, but I don't expect any magic weight loss.

    has anyone tried incorporating apple cider vinegar into their diet? If so, can you tell me how you used it and if it worked? I'm trying the military diet this week and plan on adding a bit to my tea

    Non filtered, non pasteurized ACV is a good source of probiotics...also, potassium. I use it when I get cramps and it seems to lessen the intensity. Beyond that, most of the ascribed benefits of ACV are just woo...it's not a magical weight loss potion.

    I use it as the acid when I make collards. It's quite tasty.

    I fell for the apple cider cures all and aids weight loss myths, so i started doing a shot mixed with water a couple times a day...

    Fast forward two years later, and i still can not stand the taste of it in anything! The experience totally scarred me and put me off of ACV forever!
    I use it on my face as a toner now, and i squeeze my lips closed tight until it's dried, incase even a drop gets in my mouth :confounded: My eyes still water though!

    With or without ACV? :smile:

    I swig that stuff all the time. But I'm weird and love the taste of it.
    FTR I've never been overweight but who knows if there's a connection. Either way a bit of ACV certainly won't harm you. Yo can use it to deglaze pans after you sauté meat or in salad dressings.

    I don't swig ACV, but I do drink pickle juice. I love vinegar.

    +1 for drinking pickle juice and general vinegar love. I love anything that's sour, really. Do you like kombucha as well?

    There you go. Some people just love that sour *kitten*. I don't like sweet stuff so I guess it's just a tastebud thing?

    I have never tried it. I got put off when seeing it being made/grown at a friend's house but I'm being told I'd like it because of the sour thing. I might have to give it a go.

    Yeah, it actually looks kinda gross in the bottle as well. But if you love sour, then you have to try it! I'd be surprised if you didn't like it. ;)

    I wish vinegar could actually help. I love vinegar. I think I currently have 6 or 7 different varieties in my kitchen at the moment. Hehe.

    I love just vinegar as a dressing for my salad, but I prefer red wine vinegar.

    So...I keep my ACV in the bathroom. I use it for a lot of things there. It can help with sunburn, can be used as a conditioner for hair, can be used to clear drains with some baking soda, can be used on the face, and I've used it under me old armpits when I've gotten a rash from my sports bra.

    I don't know anything about its relevance to the military diet but I drink a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar in a glass of water every morning because helps with acid reflux. That is really the only benefit so if you don't have reflux it isn't necessary really
