I have be seeing a lot of facebook and pinterest posts about apple cider vinegar helping with weight loss. I was wondering if anyone had tried this and your outcome. Feedback is appreciated. Thanks!

They're probably saying no to both questions. No they haven't tried it because no it doesn't work.8

It doesn't work. Period.7

I've been taking ACV for months for something else and have gained weight. The two are not related. Likewise, there is no correlation between taking ACV and losing weight.13

Unfortunately, a myth. Good ole eating less and moving more is the key for weight loss while being in a calorie deficit.7 -
@Christine_72 is another person who mentioned trying ACV and finding it did nothing for weight loss.1

I'm looking for good honest feedback from those that have tried it. I know to some that are hardcore eating right and exercising right this may seem ridiculous. I'm trying to watch my calorie intake and add exercise but supposedly acv has lots of other healthy benefits so if this can aid in weight loss then why not? I would like to hear from those that have tried it with some honest feedback of what they tried and why or why not it didn't work. Thanks in advance!5

It does not work for weight loss. It could have some digestion benefits, but that's about it.

you don't have to have taken it to know that it does absolutely nothing for weight loss.
The only thing that does anything for weight loss is being in a deficit of calories. However, if you want to run an experiment on yourself go eat 500 calories over maintenance for a month and drink apple cider vinegar and see what happens. I guarantee you wont lose weight...23 -
Nooooo
Think about it. Why would drinking vinegar make you lose weight? Why would drinking anything make you lose weight? Eat less. Move more. No magic solution.14 -
ACV will help you lose weight if you drink it vs drinking a soda or other sugary/high calorie drink. However you can drink water and it will have the same result (as far as weight loss is concerned). The only way to lose weight is to eat and drink fewer calories then you burn each day.
Now, I do drink ACV on the regular for health benefits. I really like the THM good girl moonshine...4 -
Don't confuse nutritional properties with weight loss...yes, raw ACV has some good nutritional properties, but good nutritional properties don't default to weight loss.
I got started with my diet and weight loss 4.5 years ago...I did the ACV thing for a time and lost weight...I stopped taking it and I continued to lose weight. My weight loss was attributable to my calorie deficit...a calorie (energy) deficit is how you burn stored energy (body fat).
On the science front, the only thing in regards to ACV that has been fairly well established is that it can help regulate blood glucose levels to some extent for people with diabetes.12 -

Try the search feature you'll find dozens of threads on this very topic in the last few months all with the same conclusion. It does not offer weight loss benefit. No individual food or beverage does. It may have some digestive benefits, some people use it for cleaning and other home remedies, and lots use it as a tasty ingredient in recipes for pulled pork. It is the woo du jour of 2017.

ACV might ruin your teeth, but it won't cost you your job.
Unless maybe you work in a dentists office.5 -

I've had great success in the past with counting calories and exercising. I'm trying to get back on track with everything and thought that this would be a good place to get good feedback regarding this subject.
Some had, just said "no" but because they weren't telling you what, you wanted they had to; be more direct!3
