Has anyone lost weight with this? How can I drink it down? I'm having a hard time with it.

    You don't lose weight with it. There are some claims of other health benefits, but it's hard to know what's real and what's placebo. Any weight loss effect is definitely placebo, though.

    Oh ok. Glad I don't need to drink it. I was wondering how people down it.

    I make a vegan cornbread that helps me feel full. It uses 1 tsp ACV to curdle the almond milk. So... yeah, it sort of helps weight loss. But I suspect lemon juice would too.

    What everyone else has said. If you decide you want to continue using it, adding it to water with a little bit of honey makes it palatable...or putting in pulled pork or on salads as others have posted in similar forums.

    Adding vinegar or lemon juice to milk (cow or otherwise) is a well-known substitute for buttermilk. (I've used it many times, but usually with lemon juice, since I have lemons on my tree almost year-round.) So you are basically eating a vegan buttermilk cornbread! Sounds delicious... B)

    I have lost weight with it. It makes a great warm bacon dressing for spinach salad.

    Also, downing it without dilution can wreck your tooth enamel.

    Can we blame the mango? i always knew i didn't like fruit lol

    I really think we can. When I actually look at the ingredients it looks like they use mango puree for the flavor. This stuff would be awesome on a fruit salad or made up into a sweet glaze.

    It is! I'm making a lot of chili these days and I can't believe it took me so long to discover that chili and cornbread were a match made in heaven!

    Chili and corn pasta are also a good match. I put them together one time and I was like, "Duh! How did I not know this?"

    Poor fruit.. swimming in a sea of vinegar and still can't lose it's calories lol
    I can see it being the new spokesman for why ACV doesn't work lol

    "Hello, my name is Mango.. i was puree'd into vinegar at a tender ripe age and never lost a single calorie..."

    I'm dying here... :p

    It's no magic pill or anything but it can help get rid toxins in the body and help with bloating among other things. It's kinda like an aid, I myself tend to stay bloated so I drink that or lemon water for those reasons. But, honestly, it's best to just do the research yourself instead of asking these types of questions on here.

    When you give it some thought, it makes good sense that drinking apple cider vinegar before meals would help with weight loss. Apples are a good source of pectin, and including pectin in your diet can make you feel fuller and more satisfied. Since apple cider vinegar contains the same amount of pectin as apples (one apple has about 1.5 grams pectin), it can suppress your appetite in a similar way.

    There is also good science behind why apple cider vinegar would encourage weight loss even more effectively than eating raw apples. In general, acids help with the digestion of protein, the building blocks for some of our hormones, especially growth hormone.

    We’ve seen how this hormone is instrumental in breaking down fat cells. By increasing the acid present in your stomach before a meal, you’ll ensure the chances for thorough digestion and increase the availability of protein for hormone synthesis.
