Apple Cider Vinegar & weightloss???????

I started taking the Sundown Naturals Apple Cider Vinegar pills last week because I heard it would help my digestive tract and help with joint pain. I'll admit that it really seems to have helped with both. I don't know if it's helped with weight loss as well but heck the other benefits are awesome so far.

btw i've had IBS for almost my whole life and this is the best i've been for the longest period in my entire life.

Hooray Apple Cider Vinegar!

Bump for later...

When I was little my Grandfather made a drink for me called Switchel. It is an old timers drink used when they were haying the fields. It is made of apple cider vinegar, ginger, a sweetener (VT maple syrup, honey, sugar...your choice) and water. Some even would add oatmeal. I still make this for a summertime drink occasionally but have been thinking more of adding it to my daily routine. I really enjoyed it when I was little. We NEVER had soda so this was the closest thing I had and could make with common ingredients.

Someone must have been watching DR. Oz today.

Yup, heard this on Dr. Oz too!

I was going to use this a while ago but read several articles about the damage it does to your teeth so I was put off by that,

I make a fermented drink that I take as a supplement sometimes: Bragg's raw ACV, raw garlic and raw honey. Blend it all up together and let sit in the fridge for a few days. The reasons I take it have nothing at all to do with weight loss. I eat in a caloric deficit for fat loss. Plain & simple. I take this mixture because of the nutrients in them.

I just started using this today, not for weight loss, but to help with my ibs symptoms. I am excited to hear that it could help with my weight loss too though!

I tried it for a while. I decided the reason it helps with weight loss is because you're sick for hours afterwards and can't eat anything else. :laugh: Seriously, I've heard it works and I have a friend who swears by it for joint health.

Yeeaaahhh I drank it all the time in middle school because a friend told me it would help lose weight... and I'm pretty sure the only reason it "suppressed my appetite" was because it made me want to barf. Ew.

I take a tablespoon and a half in a glass of water before my meals for the past month and I've noticed that I get full quicker. I take the Braggs organic with the mother, which I located in my grocers organic section. I'm going to continue to use this and see what happens. The bottle I get is about 7 dollars but I've found it has lasted me about a month!

I have a bottle of Braggs ACV in my fridge...but I take a supplement called Grapefruit Formula. It has:
Vitamin B-6==helps with anemia
Iodine==helps with the thyroid
Whole Grapefruit Powder==weight loss, constipation relief, stomach issues
Lecithin==helps with high cholesterol
Apple Cider Vinegar==Improving circulation,Lowering cholesterol,High blood pressure,Sinus problems,Sore throats,Unsettled stomach,Leg cramps and pain,Weight loss,Slow digestion (gastroparesis),Diabetes. Some preliminary research suggests that consuming vinegar or apple cider vinegar might reduce blood sugar levels after a meal.
Kelp==Thyroid problems, including an over-sized thyroid gland (goiter).Iodine deficiency.Arthritis.Achy joints (rheumatism).“Hardening of the arteries” (arteriosclerosis).Digestive problems.“Blood cleansing”.Constipation.
Glucomannan==Reducing cholesterol levels in people with diabetes.Helping control blood sugar in people with type 2 diabetes. Constipation.Weight loss.



I take 3 pills twice a day. I have noticed I'm not feeling as bloated as usual. I know it's working, because I have to go to the bathroom more often....and I'm drinking more water (kelp also makes you thirsty)
