    While logging meticulously and losing 50+ pounds a couple of years back, I drank ACV daily for weeks at a time, and didn't drink ACV daily for weeks at a time.

    There was zero, zip, nada, no difference in weight loss rate between the times I was drinking ACV, and not drinking ACV. I didn't perceive a difference in appetite or satiation, either.

    (My reasons for drinking it in the first place - or stopping it, for that matter - had nothing to do with weight loss.)

    I think ACV is pretty tasty (I like vinegar in general, and put it on lots of things), but I don't think I'd enjoy the mixture you're drinking, OP. In my world, life is too short (and calories too few) to eat/drink things I don't enjoy, when there are so many delicious, nutritious things in the world. ;)

    If it's working for you, go for it. :)

    Cool thanks for the info , I just started drinking acv because I heard that it has a few benefits, I didn't started drinking that for it to make me loose weight since I e learned that only having a good diet and exercise discipline makes you loose weight. I was wondering what other people thought about that or if they ever noticed any difference, the turmeric ginger and cayenne is just because of other health benefits that brings supposedly lol. I like it.

    That concoction is one big pile of woo in a glass. If you enjoy the taste, go for it. But those 'benefits' you've read about? Non-existent. :)

    I disagree that there are no health benefits to turmeric. However, I don't think 1/4 t per day of culinary turmeric is enough to realize them.

    You aren't overweight because you lack ACV in your diet.

    That's why I was asking if anyone is taking it for any type of benefits and if they noticed any change, I didn't mean on weigh, it was in general : )

    But it sounds like something that might unclog a drain or a toilet. B)

    The cleaning and laundry tips are very handy.

    I took it for months for something unrelated to weight loss. It did nothing for either.

    I use the cheap gallon jugs of ACV for cleaning and Bragg's for cooking.

    Works great to get the smell out of new clothes - I soak them in a tub with water and about a cup of ACV. It's also a great natural fabric softener. Wet clothes will smell like vinegar but this dissipates as they dry.



    Oh, good info! My husband routinely forgets his clothes in the washer overnight, and the stench in the morning is overwhelming. Rewashing them doesn't get it all out, and when I've used vinegar I always re-washed them after because then they smelled like...vinegar. Next time (because there will be a next time) I'll try drying them.

    For exceedingly disgusting clothes: nephews gym clothes he finally brought back home from school after 9 weeks or such: PineSol!!! (The generic one works too).

    Seriously, that would be my first choice. Unfortunately, these are my husband's specially-treated camping clothes (that he gets to wear to work every day in an outdoors retail store), and there are some constraints on what I can use on them.

    I set an alarm to remind me to get clothes out of the washer. (The dryer has a built-in alarm.)
