Apple Cider Vinegar for Fat Burning and Weight Loss

Slimfast acv( RNY GASTRIC BYPASS)

I'm trying to weigh this out. I'm taking two caps full of ACV and putting in v8 juice but it's a 3 oz can so instead I can put it in 64 oz of water n I have that goal daily due to rny gastric bypass I had in 2007 so it doesn't matter the dilution part of it u still get the benefit from it

I have lost lost 8 pounds in 2 months (173 to 165). I am not taking apple cider vinegar for weight loss, but because my doctor believes I have low stomach acid. My GERD symptoms have all but stopped also. I take about a table spoon (sometimes two for larger meals or if they have meat) before each meal. I sometimes take pills with 600mg ACV if the bottle isn't handy. I may need to stop the ACV if the weight loss continues, which is a shame because the GERD is the real issue.

I am doing this too, just started. The honey sure makes it much easier to drink!!!

Hey Everyone, Apple Cider Vinegar Works!! Don't Let negative comments Sway You!! Notice there more positive comments than negative! Good Luck! BY THE WAY MY THYROID Doc HOOKED ME UP WITH THIS AND IT WORKS!!

For the pre menopausal women, I do know of something you can get over the counter for the problems associated with menopause, I was only 29 years old when I had to have a hysterectomy, and my hormones went south fast, I didn't get hormone replacement therapy, and after a year my Dr finally tested my levels, and suggested a vitamin DHEA to help balance out my hormones, and it works, but I just like you, have packed on the LBS, almost 70 lbs and nothing has worked, I'm now going to start the ACV to see it will work for me.

"ACV has no effect on weight loss whatsoever". Completely untrue. ACV will blunt your insulin response by 20-30%. This means that the energy from the food you eat will be absorbed at a more gradual rate, instead of all at once. Google "ACV and insulin sensitivity". ACV lowers your blood glucose and insulin if you take it before/after a meal, which means you store less energy, which means (assuming you maintain the same caloric intake) you will lose weight.

What is "the mother"? And what brand of vinegar is it? I use plain apple cider vinegar, two shots classes every morning with coffee chasers.

Hi, if I put Apple Cider Vinegar in a 1 liter bottle for weight loss how much should I put?

The reason it would make it worse is because of the "mother" bacteria. It's basically like a natural antibiotic. Antibiotics can cause a serious itch in that area because, it too, like antibiotics is indiscriminate in the bacteria it kills, so it could aggravate your situation

Apple Cider Vinegar - In two months I have lost 31 pounds ...At 376...now 345...I am a big guy...I get it from both sides of my family because my Uncles were this big...I am no John Riggins...too old for that but slowly lowering the weight by one to two tablspoons a day...Thank You for this site...Sparky

I been trying regular brand, seen no change. But been reading all those different amazing stories been think all my life. Would like to get down to size 6 in 2 years. I hope this works because tried everything else no result.

You're wrong about it not helping to lose weight. I started ACV 7 days ago and my eating habits have not changed, and I haven't worked out. I've already lost 3lbs. I'm a personal trainer as well as a nutritionist and I'm taking ACV for health reasons but it HAS made me lose weight thus far. I take 2 Tablespoons of ACV with 2 tablespoons of lemon in a glass of water 2x each day.

I also couldn't get the ACV down. Someone told me to mix it with Seltzer Water. Works like a charm.

I read a reply elsewhere from someone who bought an initial bottle of the good stuff, with "the mother, " and just saved some of that bottle and used it as a starter to culture a bottle of the cheap refined stuff.

I may try this once my bottle gets nearly finished. Would at least get some of the properties of whatever is "living" in the vinegar.

Apple cider vinegar really helps when it comes to those days when you feel bloated. Except I add some cayenne, and black pepper to mine. It's also curbed my huge appetite (which also probably deflated my waistline).

Acv does help with weight loss. @ the person who says it doesn't work...you may not have loss but many people including myself...yes it acv does help lose weight. Can't sit and. Pig out all day and eating junk also all day. And for those who never tried it...no comments please.

Don't give up.. Keep hope alive

Maybe it's the dosage. I've just started this myself but when I was reading up on it, it said to take 1-2tbsp not tsp. Idk tho, just a suggestion. Do you take it with or without mixing into water?

If we are doing the 'right things' and they aren't producing results, I've found I have to tweak it...some intermittant fasting (Eat Stop Eat site is informative), sometimes changing up exercise, the Emotional Freedom Technique (Nick Ortner, or Gary Craig), and for those who know, spiritual balance along with physical and emotional weight release is a component. Stubborn issues often present physically but the source is something holding on on another level, that once addressed and released, the body follows. I eat emotionally, and when I face what that issue(s) is, and make amends, or correct my faulty thinking, whatever my body is holding onto for insulation against pain also lets go.

I take every morning the bragg ACV with empty stomach. No bad feelings but I've noticed I ate more than before. waahhhhh. Its not normal?

Have a question - how much ACV should a person start off drinking or add to their water?

Anne, The 5:2 fast diet does work. BBC's Dr Michael Mosley popularised it in the UK and Australia. Books available; also, 5:2 Facebook pages which I find inspirational. It recommends ladies eat 500 calories on two non-consecutive days of the week. Eat normally the other 5 days. People find that when the goal weight is achieved, doing the fast only one day a week maintains the weight.

Thank you for sharing your research. I too did low carb, but was so lethargic and had a continuous feeling of starvation even though I was not hungry. It was a strange feeling. Too low BS.

I changed to a Keto diet. Steady weight loss, up to a point but stalled after 3 weeks. I also had terrible break outs of cystic acne.

I reincorporated some fibre grain carb, and I feel steady again. Cystic acne diminished but am wondering what to do now to get rid of the excess fat.

Will try ACV now and see how that goes.

So interesting! I also have higher aldosterone. How much apple cider vinegar do you take?

Thanks so much!

So while this may be true for some, not all others.

I tried low carb many times, but my BS drops too much, I need high protein with a tiny bit of carb mixed, as far as the avc, its working for me, not dieting at all, in fact I go over board on the carbs at times, but in MY case, it turned out I was making too my Aldosterone, the water retention hormone during peri menopause, my adrenals were stressed out and so my cortisol went through the roof.

The excess cortisol was raising my aldosterone, I was taking the Apple Cider Vinegar for acid reflux (works great by the way)

And so for 6 years I suffered from water retention, I tried EVEY THING! But till recently, only the Apple Cider Vinegar worked, I could NOT figure out WHY, so me, being the Google queen, set out to FIND OUT WHY! it turns out the Acetic Acid (in acv) LOWERS Aldosterone.

If I stop taking it, the water weight creeps back, I must continue to take until menopause finally occurs and things balance out. ( I hope it does)

And for the record, I did see and Endocrinologist and had things tested. The Aldo was high, but not from a Tumor anywhere, and the Cortisol was high but not from a diseased Adrenal Gland issue, the Insulin was high, but not from a Pancreas problem....all this is from Peri-Menopause!!

Who freeeaking knew???? I went into "The Change" very stressed out and that is not good for the Adrenals, they have their own job, and when it is time to help out during menopause it would be nice if they were stronger.

I had gained 30 pounds in 6 months from the High Cortisol/Aldo/Insulin.

Since the acv, it is going down, down down, almost 10 pounds already in less than a month. I do not diet, I do not exercise, I only keep busy.

I like to add honey and some cinnamon. The strong cinnamon scent helps me a lot.

This is one of my favorite ways to drink ACV.

• 2-3 Oolong Tea bags
• 2-3 flavored teabags (Peach, berry, mango, etc)
• I steep these tea bags in about two cups of hot water until cool and then remove the bags.
• To the tea I add 3-5 Tablespoons of ACV, A shake or two of cinnamon, a shake or two of ground ginger. I take this concentrate and add about 6 cups of water. As I pour a glass, I add sweetener (Like stevia, maple syrup, honey or agave ~ just whatever I have around) It sure tastes good. There are many recipes on the internet for something similar called "Good Girl MoonShine." I hope this helped.

Hello, I am also blood type AB and I have been using apple cider vinegar for over a year, closer to two years, with 2 teaspoons in each bottle of water. just Recently I've begun to loose weight, which may or may not be associated with ACV. So I am not sure what the blood type this has to do with it as I feel good all the time. I also no longer have an appetite suppression since Nov/15, again this may or may not be related to taking ACV.

V8 (or regular tomato juice). Some people use orange or grapefruit juice but I like the tomato better and don't want the extra sugar. You can also put it in tomato soup or pasta sauce.

I have type 2 diabetes and I do not take any medication. I've been taking coconut oil three time a day and apple cider vinegar raw twice a day. On July 7,2015 to July 13. I have lost 5, I am still losing but I won't know how much until I weigh again on Monday. I take care about what I eat and exercise. But I will not take the medicine. I do care about my metter reading is to high. I weigh at that time 225 now 220. You see I never took doctor drug like this before and I am not going to start GOD help me.

I don't know where Zug is. But if you live near the border with France you can find one in a store called Satoriz, it is unpasteurised and I believe it has the mother on it. In fact, while I was writing this post I went to my cupboard and checked, it doesn't say anything about it but it definetely has the cloudy stuff.

You can find it here:

First day of taking ACV - how do you disguise the taste and smell????

Just some generic notes, but if you are gaining weight and the only thing that is changing is the number on the scale, perhaps you are changing your dimensions. It's possible that any exercise you're able to do, is building the muscles in those areas (legs and buttocks are most widely used and largest muscle groups) 5 lb is easy to gain in someone starting anew. Bear in mind that gaining a little weight isn't always a bad thing. Conversely, if you are trying to lose weight in the thighs, buns, and mid-section, consider the 5 lb, it is going to make the measurements go up initially, because fat is consumed at a different (and more difficult to lose) rate than muscle is. So before you lose the fat, the muscle will make it appear that it's not at all working. Best advice is STICK WITH IT!

S'tracy, search "Joe Delivera" on the Net. He is an elderly unorthodox self taught Homeopath in Sri Lanka. He helps people with many issues and will not accept payment. I think he has a good remedy for weight loss. I have seen it posted on his website a number of times. Just look through the November posts.

FOLKS NOT SORRY TO TELL YA'll, but I must agree with JANE, CA. I worked with this ACV advice and have to tell ya that I actually GAINED more wt while on the ACV. It may be that ACV works different for everyone. BUT must say I GAINED more and even got into a depression. I have read the benefits of vinegar just like in the good ole days they used it even in pipes to clean and shine and even drain which does seem what it does for us. However, it seems as though it must be a daily act for months and months; possibly for the rest of your life. It further seems like sugar found in whatever it is in; is like a drug addiction and even worse-CANT STOP! I remain in search and do not give up to find a safe, healthy, accurate fast beneficial home remedy to lose wt. All Take Care and GOD Bless us all!

Reading the posts of the members encourage me to try ACV for weight loss. I really need to lose weight to reduce high blood pressure and cholesterol. I'll start drinking ACV 3x a day with juice through a straw.

Thanks for the info!

Must be "RAW" organic unpasteurized Apple Cider Vinegar. Pasteurized or "regular" vinegar will not work.

Do you use bragg or regular apple cider vinegar?

How are you doing now? The weight stay off?

I am currently wondering whether I should have posted this, I am now 12 lbs underweight and my doctor is sending me for tests. So I am sorry if perhaps I have misled people.

Having said that, a lot of people do swear by it for weight loss so I still feel it is well worth a go.

Mithila, take say 1 tbs (or less to start) in a glass of water, you can add a teaspoon of honey and use warm water if you don't like the taste. Also look through the site for other people's ideas.

Hey everyone, I want to lose weight by drinking ACV but I am not sure whether it will work on me or not, I am 21 years old and my weight is 75 kgs and I have hypothyroidism and acidity problems. I am confused about how to drink ACV and plz give me some recipes, so I can dilute ACV with something else to taste better.

how much apple cider vinegar are you taking a day?

I take it once a day usually late afternoon, but I don't think it matters when.

Hi Linda, please be a bit more specific ... did you take that once a day, 2 or 3 times a day and before or after meals? Cheers

2 tablespoons in a glass of water. It may be coincidence Shiehaam, but I don't see what else it could be.

wow ....linda how often did you take it and how much did you use?

i also have a underactive thyroid and have been battling for 10 years with my weight.

I disagree about the weightloss benefits as well Jayne. I have been working with a personal trainer 2X per week for strength training and I also do a full cardio workout 3X per week, plus I'm on a strict caloric intake diet for about a year. I dropped about 20 lbs on the diet with no exercise. The diet does include carbs, with are important as well as fats that are good. Since the exercise began, I've not lost any weight nor inches. It has been 2 months. I still do it because I want to tone up. I do not overeat, I do not eat junk food and I drink at least 10 cups of water per day. I'm very healthy. I started taking Garcina Cambogia as I thought this would help me lose that last 20 lbs. I took it for 3 months and absolutely nothing. Not one inch nor 1 lb difference. To boost my metabolism, I started taking cayenne pepper pills. Not sure if that has any effect as it's only been a couple of weeks. I started taking AVC about 4 months ago and my food cravings went down, my weight is shed more easily, about 8 lbs so far. I've lost 3 inches in my waist and 2 inches in my glutes so far. I drink an organic brand that has the "mother" and put 2 teaspoons in 16 oz warm water, sipping it throughout the day thru a straw. So carbs may be an important factor about losing weight, but your body needs carbs too. ACV is the ONLY thing that has helped my weight loss in the last several months. I've been told it may my hormones that are blocking everything else, including all the exercise. Here's to your health and may you see the benefits of ACV soon, regardless of weight loss, it has lots of other health benefits.

I can attest that ACV suppresses ones appetite even when it is added to water. I've been adding 1 tbsp of B**** to 8 oz of ice water for a few days now, and my desire to eat has nearly left me completely. There's no discomfort at all, simply no sense that I'm hungry.

So, no need to take ACV straight, especially if you don't like the taste of it. Adding a couple of teaspoons or a tablespoon to 8 oz of water will do the trick. Personally, I LOVE it in ice cold water, but I've spoken with others who prefer warm water. Either will work just as well as the other.

Enjoy...! ;-)

To Momna in Pakistan: For bad mouth odor, may be caused by problems with teeth and plaque and bacteria imbalances in the mouth. My friend from Pakistan has clean, white teeth and always good breath and no problems and has never been to the dentist in his life and grew up in a farm life in Pakistan.? He is 40 yrs old and does brush his teeth, but has always used occasionally, neem root. He chews on it for a few mins a couple of times a week. I can not find this to buy online anywhere. He gets in from Pakistan when he visits.

Some while ago I started taking organic ACV for its health benefits. Some six months later I had lost 28 lbs, and it was only much later that I made the connection. I was not even thinking about losing weight - I have an underactive thyroid and understood that you have to live with extra weight - but it just steadily fell off.

Well, I have been taking apple cider vinegar. For a little over a week and I have lost 5 inches off my hips and 6 in off my waist. Not so much weight but inches yes. And my pants that was too small for me are now too big. So maybe you are losing inches instead of weight.

I have tried the ACV before for weight loss with no noticeable change. I decided to try again and really stuck with it. Within two weeks my friends starts to notice I lost some weight. I'm not one to believe much in using a weight scale, but my clothes are starting to feel a lot better. I drink the ACV and water before each meal. So far I have not changed my eating habits. But I am encouraged enough to eat better and start exercising for better results.

Hello Earth Clinic,

I have been taking 2 tsp of Apple Cider Vinegar with the mother about 15 minutes before my meals 5 days a week for a month (2 weeks with organic honey, 2 weeks without). I experienced more energy the first two weeks, then the effects wore off. In addition, although I have slightly modified my eating, I have not lost any weight, in fact, I have gained about 5 lbs. I am a female, 23 years old, no children with good health, yet could stand to lose about 20 lbs (well with the recent weight gain that would be 25 lbs total). Can anyone offer any helpful advice with this matter? I am just about ready to give up :( I want to lose successfully like the rest of you guys.

That is simply not true. It does work for weight loss and I have used it long enough and stopped using it and got the weight back up and had the same eating and workout routine... And that time could not lose the weight. You are doing something wrong to counter the effects of the acv, but to say it doesn't do anything for weight loss is just naive.

I started using of apple cider vinegar from last 5day, I gained my weight due to lack of exercise, rice and chicken, oily foods, I got realised after I gained 25pounds extra from last 2 years. I dont know where can I get this organic one but presently I am using american garden (natural Apple Cider Vinegar on the label) Apple Cider Vinegar from a grocery, is it possible for weight loss with this one please suggest.

Is it okay to take ACV if your anemic? My red cell counts are low and I really need and want to lose lbs.

Danielle: Please read the above post dated 01/18/2013 by Via Vapor from Seligman, Mo. She describes the daily routine perfectly.

Hello, I read your post about losing weight in 5 days. Sounds great & I'd like to lose 6-8 pounds I've gained in past 5-6 months. Can you share your daily routine with the ACV? Thanks! Danielle

Your weight loss is a result of the carb-cutting, not the apple cider vinegar.

ACV has no effect on weight loss whatsoever. Believe me, I tried it long enough to know--months. Four of my friends did, too. None of us lost weight with just the ACV alone.

What often happens is, people hear that ACV might help with weight loss, so they begin the ACV but also begin watching what they eat more than usual and that's what causes the weight loss, which then gets credited to ACV, when it's not the ACV.

This is exactly what happened in your case, too. You started ACV and you started watching your carbs, hence the weight loss.

Those carbs will get 'ya every time. ;-) When I'm careful with them, I lose weight, too.

I'm not knocking ACV. I take it every day to help manage my high blood pressure. It's great stuff that serves a lot of purposes. Unfortunately, weight loss isn't one of them.

I have been faithfully drinking 2 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar in a small glass of water about 20 minutes before eating lunch and dinner since Feb 1st, 2013. I have lost 12 pounds and my skin looks great. No breakouts on my chin like I typically get. I have tried to eat less carbs too, so that is helping but the apple cider vinegar is: a) helping me digest my food better and b) helping my metabolism. Yea!!

Hello! How much was your dosage with the ACV pills and is your weight still off? Are you still taking them? Did any of you have a vinegar smell from your body? My aunt did.. Thanks!

Hey. I've heard through reading about ACV and my oh healing from it (menstral cycle) that the brand of ACV is very important. If you are getting infections try a diffrent one. At least that's what I've read from many ppl. Hope this helps.

Hi, Bad mouth can be eliminated by regular brushing of teeth and tongue cleaning. compulsorily while going to bed. Also change the food style and chew your food properly sense the taste of the food and then swallow. Hope that will serve your weight problem. Take half table spoon of ACV every alternative days for a trail of one month. If you found no side effects you can continue for 2 months. Then stop for another 3 start again. Long time consuming ACV is not good. Always give periodic break.

Thank you so much for replying me back. I am vegetarian and I lost 10 pounds before with gluten free meals.

Hi Mahi, it's teaspoons not tablespoons. By the end of the day I have consumed 48 ounces of water with 6 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar mixed in. So in the morning I fill up a glass of 16 ounces of water that has 2 teaspoons of ACV in it. I sip on it and it is usually gone by lunch time so I make another glass up and make sure I sip on that until about dinner and make up another glass. I also have a big glass of water next to my ACV water mix and sip that right after I sip the ACV so I get the vinegar off of my teeth. I've introduced kelp capsules now too as I've heard that can reset your thyroid. I dropped 20 lbs in two months by doing the mucusless diet in the past. (a lot more strict and I walked 3 miles a day and gave up alcohol) Maybe research that too so you can get into the mindset of what is good food. I wish you the best of luck! Even if ACV didn't help me lose weight I would still take it based on how good it makes me feel. I'm also going to add cayenne pepper tinctured to my diet as well. As I have heard that raises your metabolism.

I just have question for you. You said you put two tablespoon in 16 ounces of water and sip. so do you drink this liquid three times or each single time two tablespoon with 16 ounces of water you drink.

So for my understanding 6 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar with 48 ounces of water whole day (three times). Please clarify two tablespoon only one time or per whole day you onlly drink two table spoon of apple cider vinegar. I am trying hard to lose weight please help me.

Just wanted to let everyone know ACV works!!! I have lost 5lbs in 5 days:-) NO EXCERCISE!!! I take 2 tsp (straight up without honey or sweetener) mixed with 16 ounces of water (3 of these concoctions) per day. I drink it with a straw then take a sip of straight water to get vinegar off of my teeth as not to destroy my enamel. Sip don't chug! I think this is extremely important. I dropped a bunch of weight with the mucusless diet a few years ago, I also used ACV at the same (didn't sip but drank 3 mugs a day water/ACV) but I don't remember my appetite as decreased as it is now. I also used to put honey in it and make sort of an apple cider out of it but am now used to the taste this is way easier just putting a splash in my water. But do whatever it takes to get this down. -I notice my acne is clearing up,

-I used to be a sugar craving monster and no longer am. In fact they don't even taste that good to me anymore as one reviewer already stated. The major key to ACV working is to sip not chug. I sometimes wonder if this is why it might not work for some people since I noticed a big difference taking it both ways. -Also if you feel down in the dumps take a shot est 3 tsp worth it made me feel ready to clean my house. My aunt just had a gastric bypass surgery. I only wish she would have found ACV first. I have much more energy than I used to.

Put baking soda on your toothbrush, and brush with it to neutralize acids in your mouth. Baking soda is the great neutralizer. Also, rinsing with H20 and baking soda will neutralize acid in your mouth. There is a "baking soda" brand of toothpaste out there, but even that has negligible baking soda content. Much more effective to put it loose onto your toothbrush.
