    Where did you read this? Was it scientific research or hearsay?

    You lose weight by consuming less calories than you expend. Vinegar has no effect whatsoever upon that unless you're consuming vinegar instead of other, higher calorie foods.

    Nothing about vinegar changes or defies the laws of energy balance.

    Vinegar is truly amazing and versatile stuff. The only medical benefit I am aware of though with ingestion is helping to break up taffy-like mucous drainage in your throat. For weeks after my tonsils and adenoids were removed ACV was a morning ritual.

    If you take a shot of vinegar before every meal. You'll probably not want to eat as much. :) HTH HAND

    My opinion is not worth a hill of beans. What does the evidence say?

    Wherever you read that, stop visiting that site as it’s likely filled with other nonsense.

    No individual substance, vinegar or anything else, causes weight loss. A calorie deficit causes weight loss. Period.

    Won't help unless it keeps you from eating. I don't know if it could harm you to drink a bunch of vinegar but it is not necessary and sounds unpleasant so why do it?

    You just need to consume the appropriate calories (less than your current maintenance calories). You don't have to eat or drink anything particular.

    It doesn't do anything for weight loss. The only scientifically backed benefit of consuming ACV is that when consumed before a meal it can help lower blood sugar levels in diabetics...but even that effect is pretty minimal and similar to having a glass of wine.

    Apple cider vinegar does nothing for weight loss, in and of itself.

    Now green coffee extract, that stuff will make you lose weight without exercising or eating less. Just kidding. None of those things actually work.

    If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

    Actually, green coffee extract being primarily caffeine will help with weight loss as it is a stimulant and appetite suppressant.

    NOTE: This assumes that you're in the .01% of population that's not already caffeine acclimated.

    The only data that exists, afaik, is the often cited japanese study where acv was found to have some use, but the study design wasn't great (it's based on diet diaries and step counters). I don't think there's really enough evidence to say either way personally.

    https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19661687

    Jeff Nippard did a myth-bust monday about this topic a while ago (reviewing the science).

    I just had a customer tell me last week that if you drink acv after you eat it digests your food so you lose weight,I had to just bite my tongue to avoid an argument


    They probably got that from Dr Oz, my mom called me and told me she saw a segment that he did where you take a shot of ACV after eating a doughnut and you won't absorb the calories or sugar from the doughnut. :( sigh some people will believe anything that man says.

    That would be the case for me...because the ACV would likely have me throwing up the donut

    It could also work if taken before meals by making the consumer so nauseous he or she would be unable to eat.

    Then eventually you would lose your teeth from the acidity and you could try those all liquid diets people always seem so eager to try.

    Bogus. There are no magic foods that will make you lose weight. It's about being in a calorie deficit, that's it.

    It’s good for your immune system, but I don’t think it has any magical weight loss powers.

    By what percentage is the human immune system improved by ACV? Being good for the immune system is one of the bogus claims I have heard all my life about various things.
