    Good question, lower intake calories and more exercise so it’s a combination of factors, ACV I would say maximize the results

    Is it possible it’s only being in a calorie deficit that’s causing your weight loss? I suggest substituting another 0 calorie food with your vinegar to test it out like diet soda, flavored water, coffee.

    I would argue that the lower calories and increased activity are helping you see results.

    Well, thanks for the clarification as I said I’m pretty new on this and just sharing my results, if there are other considerations to take in count please share it so we all can learn from you 🙂

    vinegar had nothing to do with this.
    the calorie deficit and exercise has everything to do with it

    If you like Apple Cider Vinegar, that's great and you can keep taking it. There's nothing wrong with it. But it's not what's causing your weight loss. You are losing weight from having a calorie deficit, caused by diet and exercise. If you stopped taking ACV tomorrow, your results would be exactly the same.

    What you are observing is a correlation, not a causation. Meaning that just because you are doing one thing, and a result happens, it doesn't mean that that thing caused the result. For instance, I am losing weight and also eating a lot of hot sauce and watching a ton of Netflix. Neither of those things are causing my weight loss though. It's the diet and exercise. They just happen to be occurring along side it.

    I think if you have created a calorie deficit through diet and exercise, your results are likely from that deficit and not the ACV. If you had kept the other factors as controls and just done ACV and seen results, I think you could attribute it to the ACV. Glad you are moving towards your goals, but I don't think the ACV is the reason.

    Apple cider vinegar is great for weight loss. Sometimes when I've hit a slump with my weight loss, I'll add a tablespoon of ACV to my water to kickstart things again. It really does work, too. ACV helps suppress the appetite, lowers blood sugar levels and keeps everything stable there (no blood sugar spikes), improves metabolism and helps your body burn fat. Added benefit: ACV is a fermented product which makes for a great probiotic, so it helps keep the gut's microbiome in check.

    Do you have any legitimate scientific studies to back any of this up?

    It works by making a number of low-calorie recipes tastier, so that I enjoy making them instead of something more calorific. It's very good with cabbage and beet recipes. If I'm making a vegan substitute for buttermilk, using a teaspoon of it to curdle my almond milk works well.

    But is there anything magical about ACV that assists weight loss? By which I mean, if I were to find some way of neutralizing the flavor, rendering it tasteless (or identical in taste to white vinegar, if I'm looking for an acidic note for the dish), would it still have the same impact? No.

    Well, looks like I’m just wasting my time and money with the ACV 😂. I appreciate everybody’s comments so I can learn from you 👍🏻 to improve this journey to get lean as I’m still far away from my goal

    I'm glad you are taking the feedback with an open mind. Keep reading, it can be entertaining as well as educational. As already said, there are some incredibly helpful people here.

    Good for you! Stick with what is working. That's the key to this fat loss thing, people try to overcomplicate the process. I use Apple Cider Vinegar for when I have an upset stomach or bloating and it seems to reduce the discomfort.
