    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.

    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.

    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.

    ACV has some health benefits, though I wouldn't rely on it for weight loss. Drinking it straight, from what I understand, can actually be harmful if done often. It seems to be better when diluted. I've had it in flavored tea and recently tried something called good girl moonshine (Pinterest) and find both makes it easier. I'm experimenting with it for GI and blood sugar issues. Disclaimer: I have no idea what actual moonshine tastes like but I didn't make "The face" so it must not be too close, lol. I liked it, though.

    Like the energy you'd get from eating a couple of tablespoons of sugar?

    Actually no, it's a different feeling to me. Eating sugar never made me feel energetic, it always made me feel sleepy.

    I'll stick with the aspirin my doctor recommended as a blood thinner.

    You can find the downside to everything. I'm not saying gulp down ACV but if you mix ACV with natural ingredients like honey and cayenne in small doses, it's very beneficial. It's a natural blood thinner, that's why it gives you the energy and alertness not to mention it helps flush your kidneys. Your bladder also benefits from using ACV, it's a natural antibiotic as well. It will boost your metabolism BUT these people who are doing these videos and saying they lost 100 pounds or whatever and want you to buy their product are full of it. You have to do your research. There's no quick fix to losing the weight. You have to put in the effort and be accountable with your caloric needs.

    It is not a natural antibiotic - although plausible it has some effect on minor bladder issues, the same way commercial products like Ural sachets do.
    It will not boost your metabolism and it is not a blood thinner.
    Unless people have a medical need for blood thinners ( in which case they should be using real ones like aspirin or warfarin under medical supervision) there is no point in blood thinning anyway.
