You aren't overweight because you lack ACV in your diet.6

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 : )4 -

The answer is still no.

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

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).4 -

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.2 -

I set an alarm to remind me to get clothes out of the washer. (The dryer has a built-in alarm.)0 -

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.
Thank you for your input!
I was just asking to see what benefits or input people had, I did my research on all and found articles and websites with info about turmeric, ginger and the cayenne, but I didn't expect for people getting serious about this
or wooing each other lol I was just wondering.
When researching supplements and such, your first stop should be examine.com. It's one of the only sites which is truly both impartial and science-based. Good place to separate the woo from the truth.11 -

That's a good system. Mostly, I try to remember to patrol the laundry room before I go to bed, but there are times he starts a load in the afternoon and I forget to check. Setting an alarm is a good idea.1 -

Awesome thanks!3 -
I like ACV. I make my drink like so:
20 ounces of water
2 TBLSPN ACV
12 drops of Stevia
5-6 shakes of ground Cayenne Pepper
2 Pinches of Pink Himalayan Sea Salt
I am also on and off again with the keto diet and I really like the taste. Seems to be a nice drink other than water. Alas, it hasn't help me with the weight. But I still feel like it's doing something good for me.

I used to buy a vinegar drink I forgot the name but I liked it so much I started making it my self adding few little things to it.3 -
So what I got out of this thread is that eating pulled pork will help me lose weight?

Let's put it this way: none of us over on the maintenance board have ACV, cayenne pepper, lemon juice, and/or sea salt regimens. All of us on the maintenance board have reached our goal weights and are staying there, and I've never seen a single person there who used any of these things to do it. We just stayed in a calorie deficit.12

What on earth is a pinch of pink salt supposed to do?6 -
I prefer distilled (aka white) vinegar for laundry. I foster kittens and there is an amazing amount of smelly laundry to do until they are eating and using the litterbox properly. I do a load with detergent, sodium percarbonate (the active ingredient in Oxy Clean but much cheaper) and put vinegar in the rinse aid dispenser. I found that ACV is stronger smelling so I don't like it.
On the other hand, I just planted my fall crop of spinach so I am really looking forward to making spinach salad with hot bacon dressing. One of the best uses ever for ACV!

Welllll . . . I'm on the maintenance board, and I have an ACV regimen - just sayin'.
Not for weight loss, though. I agree that that's 100% about calorie deficit.
Examine.com suggests ACV might have some beneficial effect on glucose control, but that's not relevant for me.
I've been doing n = 1 testing for rumored potential beneficial effects on stomach acid insufficiency with aging, since I have some long-term digestive system issues (results not definitive so far, BTW); and I'm also acting on poorly substantiated suspicion that eating diverse probiotic foods may ultimately prove beneficial.
I wouldn't bother if I didn't like the stuff, and totally wouldn't do it if I thought there were any significant risks, gotta admit.4 -

Fair point. None of us on the maintenance board have an ACV routine *for weight loss.*2 -
Examine.com suggests ACV might have some beneficial effect on glucose control, but that's not relevant for me.
The actual study says it is acetic acid that potentially has a positive effect on glucose control; which means that it is any vinegar, not specifically ACV. Add in the strongly suggested olive oil to raise HDL and you have a great argument for using a vinaigrette on every salad.2 -

Sounds good to me. I like all the vinegars, and have lotsa kinds (not flavors, kinds): Red wine, white wine, ACV, balsamic, white balsamic, champagne, sherry, beer, coconut, rice . . . . they all taste a little different, and different ones better complement different foods.

Back the hell up. Did I get woo-ed for actually using this product as a FOOD, rather than drinking it the fad way? Go suck a lemon. Or a glass of ACV .
When the Woo button was first debuted it had two opposite meanings. Many people still think it means Woo Hoo! (a positive). Just ignore it
Do people still not know what it means? Bloomin' heck!
Do people still not know that people still don't know what it means??? Bloody hell.6 -
Drinking ACV has been found in some studies to slow carb absorption, which is of slight interest to diabetics (the observed effect is not large) and of no interest to someone on a keto diet, since you are eating almost no carbs for it to work on.
I already own ACV, like the taste, and am a diabetic who measures my glucose frequently. So I tried it as an experiment. My conclusion was that if there is an effect it's not large enough or consistent enough to be detected by my testing.
