    Yeah, I love apple cider vinegar . . . but in salad dressings and marinades. I'd feel pretty gross if I did a shot of it too. And it's terrible for your teeth.

    What are you hoping to gain from doing this?

    Thank you but I am already doing that and I have been successful. I was just curious to see what people are saying about boosting metabolism..

    If you are already doing a calorie deficit and are being successful why are you adding ACV shots???

    Not getting point of doing that - especially if they ( not surprisingly) make you feel sick

    You should always dilute it if you're going to drink it.

    4 oz. water for every 1 tbl acv. Even that's still rough.

    I literally was just curious about it. I heard it has quite a bit of health benefits. No need to argue with others, if you dont see the benefit just dont do it.

    The recipes I've just seen for this have no ACV. But still no.

    Google Good Girl Moonshine. It's the THM recipe the above member is referring to. There are a lot of variations you can make.

    I love the shrinker! I drink it often, but, I think your thinking of GGMS...It has acv in it.

    Don't drink apple cider vinegar. Water is a much better option. :)

    My coworker said she tried AV and took too much 2 tablespoons but meant 2 teaspoons. She doesn't like it but she is trying to lose weight too.

    I drink a tablespoon of ACV in water every morning on an empty stomach and it definitely helps with my digestion. It's full of good bacteria for your gut and when i first started i dropped 3 kgs in 2 weeks. Try holding your nose!

    Why a shot? It's much easier to ingest if you dilute it in water. A tablespoon in 8 oz. Even if acv does nothing to help lose weight (though some say it helps), at least you'll be getting in some of the water you need (and not damage tooth enamel).

    "The Myth
    Drinking pickle juice after exercise is a helpful way to replace sodium lost through sweat.
    The Basis
    Exercise, especially in the heat, can cause extensive sweating and sodium loss. In order to replace this lost sodium, a very salty fluid, like pickle juice is necessary.
    The Science
    While athletes can lose enormous amounts of sodium through sweat, drinking pickle juice to replace this sodium might not be the best answer. A 2 oz shot of pickle juice will provide 600–800 mg of sodium. However, the associated distaste limits how much sodium an athlete can replace by drinking pickle juice. More importantly is that shots of pickle juice after a hot game or practice don’t supply the necessary volume of fluid that is needed to help the body efficiently restore sodium (electrolyte) and fluid balance. Without restoring both electrolyte and fluid balances, the athlete is still susceptible to overheating, poorer performance, and delayed recovery.
    If an athlete can tolerate the taste of 4–5 oz of pickle juice, the minimal amount (2,500–5,000 mg) necessary to help replace a typical sodium loss during 1 hour of activity, while consuming lots of fluids to replenish body water lost and aid in excretion of any excess sodium, then there is no real physiological harm in drinking pickle juice. However, it might be easier and tastier to replace sodium and fluid losses by adding a 1⁄4 to 1⁄2 teaspoon of salt to a sports beverage."


    Yeah, I have done both the ACV and honey AND the pickle juice for extra energy.... (not weight loss) and know it works. The pickle juice also helps curb my craving for sweets. To each their own.

    You should mix it with 1-2 tbs of honey. It will give you energy like you wouldn't believe. I don't understand all the negative comments about ACV. The benefits of using ACV are amazing! Why do athletes drink pickle juice? The vinegar gives a boost of energy. Look it up.

    I don't think people are negative about acv in itself - there are many posters who like it on salads and on pulled pork etc.
    Some who find it helps with reflux, I think.
    And the usual consensus is If you like drinking it, do it.

    But yes, we are negative about it as a magic weight loss miracle - because it isn't one.

    I was just wondering in general why most of the replies were against using ACV not just using it for weight loss.
    I also wanted to help the OP to use the ACV in addition to other ingredients and not just by itself.
