Has anyone tried Garcinia Cambogia or apple cider vinegar for weight loss

Do either help you maintain a calorie deficit? If so, then they might be helpful but they won't create weight loss on their own.

Agreed with all that gas been said here.

To lose weight, you just need a calorie deficit. No special ingredients or pills necessary.

This.
It's a waste of money, too.

I remember an aunt trying it way back in the 1950's - didn't work then either.

Apple cider vinegar does appear in testing to have an effect on the speed of glucose absorption which might be interesting if you are diabetic. It does nothing for weight loss.

I have experimented with it, and according to my blood glucose meter, if it does have an effect on my glucose it's minor and not consistent.

Lots of people have tried it for weight loss. Those who succeed and attribute their success to either ACV or GC are simply cheating themselves of the opportunity to attribute their success to their own hard work.

I like apple cider vinegar to swish around in my mouth. Kills bad breath and doesn't burn like mouth wash! I also find when I have serious heartburn that a shot of acv really helps.

Only thing that works is a calorie deficit

I have tried Apple cider vinegar it helps with cravings. You can a tbsp to a litre of water. If you need assistance feel free to add me.

It must be the ACV. No way it is the liter of water that entered your stomach.

I hear if you take double it increases kidney function too.

I've heard that vinegar when consumed with other food slows the release of food into the intestines. It is currently being studied as a meaningful way for diabetics to possibly level out their post-meal blood sugar spikes. However, I've also read that this is really only effective when eating a meal with some fairly simple carbohydrates, which diabetics should probably have been avoiding in the first place.

I doubt this process would necessarily assist in weight loss in a meaningful clinical manner across a broad population, however, it may assist diabetics with not storing as much fat or doing as much damage to themselves internally through inflammation caused by glycated red blood cells.

If post-meal blood sugar spikes is a trigger for say, binge eating, then perhaps this may help a person in their weight loss journey indirectly. But that would be an extremely uncommon case.
