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

I've heard you you should use a straw when drinking it, to keep the acid off your teeth. Or the capsules.

Ven

I have found it to be great. i feel less full and bloated after meals.

For those who do "research" they sure do a sh*tty job of it. Google health benefits of apple cider vinegar. You'll find all that you need to know. If you're interested in speeding up your metabolism spicy food works too. Google that as well.

When I Googled "health benefits of Apple.cider vinegar" all I found was supplement sales sites.

I would love to review your sources, if you don't mind.

So right under bragg is webmd..... didn't realize they were a supplement sales site. Not to mention the homeopathic websites listed that say the same thing......

It's quick results with water weight. The fat cell shrinking and the weight loss is more of a long term thing. You can lose up to 15 lbs in a year without a diet change. I've been doing it for a month. I love taking it. I don't have water weight. It's healthy, I'm more energetic, and I don't have to watch my sodium as much.

GOOGLE is your problem.

Google is great for quick but unreliable info.

I get my info from http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/ which has hundreds of thousands of research article from thousands of peer-reviewed scientific journals. The quality of the journals vary. The quality of the articles vary. So I don't read just one article when looking for info. I skim through years worth of abstracts, get a feel for the general consensus, and then I start digging into the nitty-gritty.

Spicy foods don't speed up your metabolism either.

I've never tried Apple Cider Vinegar but I did experiment with Apple Cider on Friday night.

I didn't lose any weight but I lost the whole weekend.

hey guys!

I just started making my own ACV vinegar just yesterday, takes about a month so I heard but its way easy, just chop up about 12 apples, cover with water (in a big plastic bowl) cover with a clean tea towel and stir everday until the bubbles stop. You can then bottle it and use as you like. I'm really curious to see if its gunna work out and what it'll taste like.

Its also really good as an anti fungal, so for candida overgrowth and to put healthy bacteria back into your tummy etc

You just reminded me I need to go stir it (I sound like a witch lol!)

That will be much cheaper than buying Bragg's! I'd love to know how it turns out...

I've thought about trying to make kim chi, just haven't yet... I have found the perfect recipe to use when I do though.

It should be a lot cheaper - unless it goes mouldy or something and I have to start again lol!! Will try and remember to post back here when its done to let you all know how it goes!

I HAVE USED IT QUITE A BIT
AND I CAN TELL IT TAKES THAT PUFFY FEELING AWAY...
DEFINITELY HELPS WITH WATER RETENTION AND BLOATING
ALSO GOOD FOR THE CANIDA

Hoping someone can help - when I eat most fruits (apples particularly)I have awful stomach pain and bloating so I've been looking into a FODMAP diet and cutting out fruits entirely. The last two weeks have been awesome in terms of way less tummy pain and bloating.

If I was to start taking ACV either in pills or liquid would this be similar to eating an apple again? Even typing that out feels like a dumb question, I'm assuming the answer is yes, but I'd like to try it for other benefits (joint pain etc.) but not of the cost of bringing those horrible symptoms back . Help!

Interesting.

I also googled and read some PubMed articles... the summary of one states: "For more than 2000 years, vinegar has been used to flavor and preserve foods, heal wounds, fight infections, clean surfaces, and manage diabetes. Although vinegar is highly valued as a culinary agent, some varieties costing $100 per bottle, much scrutiny surrounds its medicinal use. Scientific investigations do not support the use of vinegar as an anti-infective agent, either topically or orally. Evidence linking vinegar use to reduced risk for hypertension and cancer is equivocal. However, many recent scientific investigations have documented that vinegar ingestion reduces the glucose response to a carbohydrate load in healthy adults and in individuals with diabetes. There is also some evidence that vinegar ingestion increases short-term satiety. Future investigations are needed to delineate the mechanism by which vinegar alters postprandial glycemia and to determine whether regular vinegar ingestion favorably influences glycemic control as indicated by reductions in hemoglobin A1c. Vinegar is widely available; it is affordable; and, as a remedy, it is appealing. But whether vinegar is a useful adjunct therapy for individuals with diabetes or prediabetes has yet to be determined."

There's hardly any nutrients or vitamins in vinegar... that was not so surprising to me. I've always believed it's the fermentation in raw ACV that gives it any value whatsoever.

I don't take it daily, but I do consume raw ACV on occasion, and I'll continue to do so. I put 1 TB in a glass of water and drink it. I think the risks are minimal, and I'm hoping that it turns out that it does have anticancer properties, and the lowering of the blood glucose and short term satiety are good enough for me.

Vinegar lowers GI of food maybe this is why?

For the people who are saying apple cider vinegar for weight loss is a scam... no.
I take a shot of it before every meal, and I've noticed my metabolism is faster, I feel full faster, so I eat less, and I've lost 140 pounds since March. However, I've also changed the way I eat, and I walk at least 10 miles a week.
