I dunno, ACV is pretty *kitten* gross straight up. I might choose to stay fat.
OP, I know you feel piled on, but as others have mentioned a quick search will turn up literally hundreds of results for ACV in these forums. This horse really is sort of dead4 -

Im sorry you feel people are being rude (theyre not)
We are all out of rainbows and kittens after answering ACV queries for the eleventy billionth time this year
Hard core into eating right and exercising right? No hun the people answering are long term mfp members whove been there done that and know that weight loss comes down to CICO9 -

There are actually "drinking vinegars" that you mix with seltzer that are really delicious!! Kind of like a slightly sour soda, but there are some interesting flavor combos .3 -
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.
Exactly. Who would an acid help?
There is 0 science to support that acv helps.
Food for thought: since ACV is cheap, why are there still overweight individuals in the world considering this carp is all over social media? I sense there will be many who develop tooth enamel erosion and oesophageal issues from thos stupid posts.
Disagreement does not equal rude. I have never understood this.2 -
Drinking apple Cider Vinegar *did* make me lose something.
Unfortunately, it was my will to live.
It's the most disgustingly vile thing I think I've ever tasted.
And no, it does absolutely nothing for weight loss unless it makes you too nauseous to eat anything.9 -

To answer you question: NO it's has nothing to do with weight loss. CICO is the basic formula.

It was probably ACV that the folks in Panem were drinking so that they could keep on eating without ever getting stuffed....yeah that's it.2

ACV cured my club foot, it's a miracle nutrient.

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!
I don't need to, try cocaine to know the; result either!
ACV might ruin your teeth, but it won't cost you your job.
Unless maybe you work in a dentists office.
I guess if your teeth fall out then technically you lost a few ounces! Lol3 -

I've experimented with it because I've read that it can help with stomach-acid insufficiency that some people experience as they age (I'm 61). No, I don't know whether I have stomach acid insufficiency, but I do have a tendency toward some digestive system issues, so I thought I'd try an n=1 experiment.
In addition, I have a scientifically-unfounded supposition that eating various naturally-fermented products may in some obscure way be good for me. I can't defend that supposition logically, but I also can't see how the ACV's going to hurt me (nor any of the other things like kim chi, sauerkraut, yogurt, etc.) since humans have been eating such things for centuries if not millennia. Besides, they're tasty (yes, even ACV: Sometimes I put fruit-infused ACV - they call it "shrub" - in my vodka (yum)).
Still doesn't help me lose weight, though.
Fermented foods are very good for gut flora...I eat a pretty wide variety of fermented foods as well.
Yup. That's my reasoning, too. But I can't provide a concrete, bulletproof scientific proof in full detail, and I'm already in a religious argument on another thread, so I didn't get into it.2 -
To get away from the snark for a minute:
1) There is no evidence, either anecdotal or in studies, that ACV helps in weight loss
2) There IS anecdotal evidence that it may help some balance their intestinal flora
3) Some find it helps with GERD, others find it makes it worse.
4) There is some correlation between acetic acid (the acid in any vinegar, not just ACV) and balanced blood sugars. This is a correlation only and requires further study.
5) It makes a great hot dressing (along with bacon) for fresh spinach salad.6 -
3) It's any vinegar to help with heartburn. At least for me. I find a bit of mustard more palatable (vinegar being the main ingredient), but a bit of vinegar will do the trick.2

I have been drinking ACV every morning for at least 6 months now. I think it helps combined with my low carb diet and gives me a little energy boost. How I make my drink... a few ounces of water, 2 tbs of ACV, 2 tbs of organic lemon juice (not from concentrate) and a tsp of stevia. Hope this helps!2
