    If you have a cast iron skillet, pre heat the skillet in the oven, then grease it and pour the cornbresd batter in and bake in the skillet. Perfection! Top with butter and honey and serve beside a bowl of chili and it is a little bit of heaven.

    I don't, though I'll try to remember should that change. I'm following the recipe/instructions in Isa Chandra Moskowitz's Appetite for Reduction. (Curdle almond milk, sift dry ingredients into bowl. Make a well and add wet ingredients, fold in 1 cup corn kernels and 1/2 cup chopped scallion, put into greased/sprayed 8x8 pan and bake at 350 28 to 32 minutes.) Actually have one baking as I type this!

    The PH of your stomach is commonly as low as 1 (highly acidic). I can't imagine that a little vinegar will make much of a difference.

    That looks good. I usually make the recipe on the back of the cornmeal box (I buy Hodgsen Mill)

    Last time I posted scholarly articles people want stuff that's easier to understand this time I post what's easier to understand people aren't satisfied, the bottom line is even if I put the proof and evidence right in front people are going to believe whatever they want.

    Which I why I think it's better for people to just do the research themselves and decided from there, at least that will be your own choice instead of coming on here and being influenced by laymen like us.

    As far as making you lose weight, I think it helps the process a little. I found that for me it helps me metabolize better, I feel like I'm actually getting energy from the food I eat. I have lost 8 lbs since I started it in late December, but I also work out 5-6 days a week. I still eat processed food from time to time, but I mostly stick to whole foods that aren't too overly processed. It's all about what you put in your body, there's not miracle cure. I also found that if I want to eat junk food, I just work out harder and there's no set backs. :) My secret is mostly clean food, interval training, and not starving or stuffing myself.

    Now what AVC can do is help facilitate a thermogenic body. If you put a fat (like coconut butter) in a glass with warm vinegar you'll see it emulsify (break it down) Oh and obviously human fat isn't as easy to break down as coconut fat so don't get too confident that it's all you need. As far as getting rid of FAT it, your body has to do that effort.

    I drink my AVC with hot tea in the morning
    I sprinkle some fresh cinnamon and squeeze a bit of fresh lemon juice. Little bit of raw honey too.
    This drink replaced my coffee/energy drinks.

    Also! Make sure the AVC has "THE MOTHER" the good raw stuff :).

    Again, your diet and exercise is really the deal breaker, not this drink. It just helps a bit.

    I think it makes you lose weight by simply killing your appetite for food. Gaaaahhhh

    That looks fabulous! Got a recipe you can share for that chicken???

    Jumping on the NOPE train.

    I'm really sorry, but there's absolutely no scientific evidence that ACV assists with weight loss. Unfortunately, it can erode the enamel from teeth. ACV is a good diuretic, though.

    i tried it for a couple of weeks and did not see a difference.

    What the actual. How do you suppose the ACV gets through your (acidic) digestive system to the fat cells in order to actual melt stored human body fat. It isn't sloshing around in your throat like coconut oil in a glass. A little logic and critical thinking!

    That said, this does display that vinegar can be a darned good cheap cleaner for the kitchen.

    My mistake I failed to mention that vinegar in your body changes to more basic than acidic. Anyway, it doesn't break down fat, but it aids in digestion somewhat by providing probiotics. Adding a bit of vinegar in your food can aid in absorption of nutrients and when you have good absorption your body can metabolize energy that much better. Placebo or not, got me off my dangerous energy drink habit. :)

    At least there's that.

    This is the most disgusting stuff ever, I tried it and almost vomited. That acid will tear the enamel up on your teeth, the lining of your throat and stomach. There is no magic remedy.....exercise, calorie deficit and monitor what you eat! That's it and trust the process! Slow and steady wins the race! Don't make this harder than it has to be!

    I drink it before I go to sleep and it worked for me in a way to "stop being hungry"
    Maybe it's all in my head but I kinda like it. Also I pour a shitton of it in noodle soups cuz it makes it taste more "salty" for me anyway. Other than that I dunno.
  • Posts: 91 Member
    Agreed. I don't claim it helps with weightloss (but I believed it way before when I was younger) but it supstitutes salt for me which is awesome.( I have tendency to crave salty foods more than sweet stuff)

    I do indeed.

    However the image above is the lazy way, i just make the sauce and cook chicken in it, however the recipe has some more steps you can do before the sauce, both ways are great, my way is less calories since i don't batter the chicken and fry it in a pan first but i have tried it both ways :)

    http://damndelicious.net/2014/04/23/firecracker-chicken/

    I'm not much into fried foods so I would bake it in the sauce alone But I have a question. I've never heard of "buffalo" sauce. What is that and where does one find it?

    Thanks for the link, BTW.

    Franks Red Hot, or Baby Ray makes a version for buffalo sauce. You can google recipes for making your own buffalo sauce! It's a vingegar and cayenne sauce commonly used on wings, but other stuff as you can see. :smiley:

    How, what, I mean....

    Fat in a jar. Metabolise better.

    We're doomed. Doomed.

    Thanks! I'm not into spicey but I love vinegar so I'll check out a recipe online and adjust it for us. I'm always excited to try new stuff. I get bored with the same 'ol, same 'ol.
