Has anyone out there tried ACV in water to help lose weight?
Also, virgin coconut oil?

I've been doing this since Feb. 14, 2012 and my stubborn belly fat is almost all gone. It has also curbed my appetite, helped with acid reflux and heart burn.

The coconut oil has seemed to stimulate my underactive thyroid as well.

Just wondering if anyone else out there has any stories to share if they have tried this or they are doing it.

Thanks!:smile:

    Well, when I sip 2 teaspoons of AVC added to 16 oz. of water throughout the day, I can feel the revving of my metabolism. My body heats up like wildfire. It has also stopped my aching joints. I can get out of bed so easy in the mornings now with no pain however, from what I gather the coconut oil also can have this effect and it also burns fat and revs your metabolism like wildfire. But, it does contain 125 calories per T.spoon but it's a good fat. Contains the same ingredient found in mother's breast milk. Interesting huh?
    I broke my neck almost 4 years ago and this is the first time since that I have been pain free and swollen free (no swelling in hands, feet, neck, face, and stomach. It's like I'm finally getting my life back.

    Once daily. 16 oz of water to 2 teaspoons of AVC and sip through a straw. My stomach looked like I was 7 months pregnant and now it's almost completely flat.

    wow that's awesome!

    I've taken ACV pills whenever I feel like my hands and feet are swollen....too much salt,etc.
    But never the coconut oil.
    Does the coconut oil act as a laxative? (sorry if thats TMI).

    I love using applecider vinegar. I do shots of it all the time. Dunno about cutting fat but it seems to have increased my metabolism.

    I'm indian and we use coconut oil alot. But I have never heared anything like you claimed about coconut oill. Its EXTREMELY AMAZING for your hair though (ever wonder why east asians have nice hair, coconut and olive oil massages on your head is one of the few reasons)

    I remember this going around about 20 years ago. I believe it was 2 TBSP a day. I use to put it in my diet Pepsi. It would take me all day to drink it because it tasted so awful. To this day i cannot drink diet Pepsi.

    I don't know if it helped anything or not but if you do it i would suggest just taking it like medicine and getting it over with.

    From what I gather, using to much isn't good for you. The recommended dosage is 2 teaspoons per day to 16 oz. of water or you can always put it in green tea, the old fashion kind you brew yourself. Green tea is a natural fat burner and diretic so it's only recommended to have 3 cups a day.

    I use the virgin coconut oil on my entire body. I did my research on it. It does rev up your metabolism but I tried it for the sole benefit of my hypothyroid condition. My meds have now dropped from 50mg to 7.5 mg and the doctor says that he thinks I don't need my thyroid medicine anymore. He is amazed. I am too! The weight is falling off me and who can't be happy about that?
