Apple Cider Vinegar for Fat Burning and Weight Loss

ACV is a miracle, have stopped taking medication for nerve pain in legs, and for acid reflux. Arthritis is not a problem anymore, and have lost 25 lbs in 8 week. I feel 20 years younger, and will be on ACV for the rest of my life.

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.

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.

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...! ;-)

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.

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.

I started taking ACV for what I suspect is candida. I feel better and I am also losing weight. I am 5'7, 148 lbs, 39 yrs old. I mix 2 teaspoon with water, and a small tsp of honey to help the taste, in the morning after breakfast. It stops the nauseaus feeling I've been having from candida, but also seems to curb my appetite. I don't have the urge to eat so much carb or huge portions. It just makes it easier to eat healthy and less. Also it seems my water retention problem is getting better.

Last summer, I was using apple cider vinegar on a daily basis to treat some persistant heartburn. I noticed that I lost about ten pounds over the course of six weeks. The change was so noticeable that my mother (who is usually quite critical of my weight) expressed concern that I had become too thin! By the winter, though, I had stopped taking the apple cider vineger, and the weight had all come back. It never occurred to me that my weight loss had been due to the vinegar. Recently, I came across your website and decided to start drinking vinegar on a regular basis for overall health. It's been two weeks, and I'm already down four pounds! I've noticed that I seem to crave "bad" foods much less, and I am satisfied with smaller portions. Maybe that's due to the apple cider vinegar, or maybe it's just psycho-somatic. Either way, I'm going to keep it up!

Here's how I take it: I mix two teaspoons of raw, organic apple cider vinegar into 1/4 cup of filtered water and add a teaspoon of agave. Sometimes I will heat the water slightly to make it taste like a hot toddy. Other times I will just drink the mixture cold, which tastes a lot like lemonade. I have tried diluting the vinegar in eight ounces of water, but I actually enjoy the taste more when I use less water. I usually drink the mixture a couple hours after dinner, as a nightcap. I imagine that it is "sealing" my body for the night and doing all its magical work while I sleep.

Five days ago, I found earthclinic.com in a random search for uses of vinegar. The very first thing I saw was "ACV for Weight Loss." I sort of scoffed at the theory, but decided to read a few testimonials anyway.

Well, I ended up reading ALL of the testimonials (haha, which took an entire day, between chasing kids and changing diapers), and they had me convinced. Those who did not have success appear to not be terribly over weight, or have used processed ACV instead of raw organic unfiltered ACV.

Anyway, on day one, I only drank 1/2 a glass of ACV water. It was too gross. Sorry, I can't remember exactly how much of what I used. Honey didn't even help. On day 2, I tried it again. Not much better. So, that night I decided to just drink a teaspoon of it, straight (since I like the taste of it, anyway). Boy, was that a mistake! It BURNED. So, since then I've been putting about 2 teaspoons of ACV in 1/2 liter of sweet tea with lemon. The ACV just makes the lemon a bit tangier, and it's actually quite good! I also have been drinking extra water, because I believe that is important to successful weight loss. As for the ACV tea, I try to make it last the whole day, and if I do drink it all, I just make another bottle. So, some days I have more than 2 teaspoons, but never more than 3 or 4.

This morning I weighed myself, and I have lost 5 pounds! I've got about 95 to go, but now I am quite optimistic about it. The greatest thing is that this stuff really curbs your appetite! I only eat when I am hungry now, and am careful to have small portions.

Thank you so much, Earth Clinic, for pointing this out to me. If it weren't for you, I would never be a believer!

I'll post again later with further results!

You will have a winner if you swap the sugar in your sweet tea for local, raw honey. Refined sugar cancels out many health benefits. Tea, honey, ACV and lemon?? = a real health powerhouse. At the store or health food store, choose the raw honey that is made nearest to wherever you are, even if a neigboring state or bordering country. As a bonus, you are supporting nearby honey farms doing this instead of a giant corporate food conglomerate. Enough people do this, and it will catch on what the "buzz" is all about!

After reading all the other posts about weight loss success, I decided to try ACV. My first experience was after coming off my first trial of a lemonade detox diet about 4 months ago. Once I started eating normally again, I drank 1 tablespoon ACV mixed with 8 ounces of water 2-3 times per day before meals. This went on for 2-3 weeks. Alarmingly, I seemed to be gaining weight instead of losing it. I went from 115 llbs to 125! To be fair, my weight before the 9-day juice fast was 121, so I wasn't sure if the gain was from coming off of the detox juice-fast or from the ACV, so I stopped taking the ACV. It was probably a mix of both.

As I never lost the 4 extra pounds that I gained, I decided to try the vinegar again. I tried it for 2 days, this time with only 1 teaspoon with 8oz. of water and gained exactly one pound each day (up to 127 lbs)! I've been off it now for two days and my weight has returned to 125 again. I would have gone longer just to make sure, but I feared not being to lose the weight again. I am a 27 year-old female who makes healthy food choices most of the time and exercises 3-5x per week. I know that I do not consume enough calories to be gaining a pound per day from what I eat. I believe that the ACV must be interfering with my hormones somehow. Another reason I think this is because my menstrual cycle was affected (I started bleeding moderately, even though my period officially ended a week ago).

Interestingly, yesterday a friend directed me to some literature about blood type diets. My type is AB. In a book that I read, it said that people with this type should avoid all vinegar and pickled foods. It also said that AB's are predisposed to menstrual problems and migraines...conditions that I'm chronically plagued with. I'm going to take some time look to into this information and test out their eating plan. Hopefully it works. Either way, I won't be turning to ACV again for help with weight loss.

I started using apple cider vinegar with the mother in it 9 days ago combined with lower calorie intake however i have only exercised one day for 30 minutes.I have lost 10 lbs ALREADY!I AM IN TOTAL SHOCK! i read all the good reviews but nothing has worked for me i've taken diet pills before that didn't even work this good, and of course i gained it back. I AM EXSTATIC! I'LL KEEP YOU ALL POSTED!

okay so i posted 4/27 that it ACV was a go for me...so since april 27th i have lost a total of 20 pounds with a low cal diet and sporadic exercise .the weight loss is steady i really noticed the acv really works as of last week (even tho i was losing weight i gave myself some credit for the working out and eating right)so anyway last week i didn't take the acv(just kind of got out of the habit) and by the 2nd day i realized how much more tired i was how more hungry i was it was shocking i mentioned it to my mom that i hadn't taken it all week and she said neither had she and she noticed the same things that i had!!

ok back again to say it has been 3months doing this remedy and still loosing weight i am now at 144. and yes i am still doing the same remedy as from the first blog i posted. i see some people have posted if you drink this acv befor meals you loose weight and if you drink it after meals you gain weight.. i sipp it all day long regardless if its befor or after meals. so yeah i just think its different for everyone i also increased my physicall activites more walking every other night with double stroller. so people dont give up just give it some time dont be scared of it lol... it will help remember its all natural. and another thing just watch what you eat im not saying to completly cut off your favorite foods but just limit the amount you serve before each meal i also drink lots of water so you do get fuller and the acv helps. also before you go to bed drink a glass full of water. so just be positive you can do this... thanks mel

Hi Jesseca, In reply to the ACV I take it with 2 tbl. ACV w/ Honey in about 8oz. water 3x day. Although you can sip it through the day im sure the outcome is the same. I've been doing this for about 1 1/2 months now and i love it! I've lost 12 lbs. so far but id like to lose 20 but this summer. It gives me more energy and my complexion is so much better also. I also started putting virgin coconut oil 1 tbl. a day and it gave me a jolt of energy so i think im going to keep that up too! It helps me with chasing my kids all day!

Good Luck
Robin

Listen, I have been always fighting my weight, I don't over eat, I don't keep myself from enjoying whatever I want either. I exersise but my weight has ALWAYS been a problem. I found this website through a GREAT friend at work. I checked it out and been trying ACV with water sometime just I take shots. I never drank so much vinigar in my LIFE. Anyhow starting to see results, I am less bloated, my jeans are getting big, and my face looks great! Usually around this time of the month I get my usual big zit and so far so good.

So try it you have nothing to loose but weight, bloating and zits.

WEIGHT LOSS = YES

Following up from my posts, I've lost 3 kgs (6.6pds) in 7 weeks. The weight started coming off in the 5/6th week. I also increased my drinking intake (of 425ml and 2tsp) to twice a day. I actually feel sick if I eat a couple of chips (your french fries?) or a nibble of biscuits. I can taste the fat in the back of my throat. I also noticed that I lost the craving for KFC. What an amazing thing this ACV is! My weightloss is not as rapid as some of the other posters here but it is working for me. All I needed was a bit of patience and faith.

Patience is a virtue. I wouldn't dismiss the beneficial things that ACV can bring with just a short period of time. Each individual will have different results. I mean I started taking ACV along with Conconut oil during March of this year in hopes of loosing weight. I made it a vow not to weigh myself all this time, because you only set yourself up for disappointment. Next thing you know, I am getting compliments of how much weight I've lost. So, do give it some time and you will see a difference. It might not today, but it will come.

After reading so many positive feedbacks on this site I decided to try ACV. I have been using it 3x/day for about a month. Within the first week I noticed it killed my sugar/chocolate cravings & I was eating about 30% less @ each meal. I lost 17lbs this month. However.. I did start at 365lbs & have a LONG way to go. Now I feel there is some hope. Thank you.

WEIGHT LOSS: 9 yrs ago when I got pregnant- I was 28yrs old (5'2 tall/small boned) and weighed 104 lbs. Just prior to delivery I weighed 178 lbs. After having my son I just could not lose the weight. I walked on a treadmill- over 8 miles a day, as well as rollerblading- 3-5 x's a week. I even went on the heart surgery patient diet. When I did eat "normal foods" I cut my portion sizes in half. No alcohol. No sodas. I was absolutely starving to death, grumpy and had no energy. I started looking for an alternative to my extreme diet plan. I heard about the ACV remedy from a friend and started taking 1 tablespoon 2 x's a day (not diluted.) I kept a journal on my inches. You know, bust, ribs, waist, butt and thighs (even my calves.) Within a month I had noted a 2 - inch lose in my waist and additional signs elsewhere. I had overall fitness and wellbeing. In 7 months was back to 108 lbs and stopped using the remedy.

Over my lifetime- I have not been one to watch what I eat and never 'exercise. ((Bad habit when you cross the 35yr old mark)) My weight stayed really good until 2 years ago.

I am now (37yo) at 138 lbs. So in less than 2 years I have gained 35 lbs. Not only have I went up 4 dress sizes, I feel like crap w/ backaches, bloating and low energy... Take vitamins daily (Zinc, prenatal vitamin, E and a one a day. Eat "healthy" (lots of fruit and veggies) with low sodium and low fat content.

I started looking online for homeopathic remedy for weightloss. I came across this site and decided to start the ACV regimen again (2 tablespoons daily.) I have lost 2 inches in my waist and 8 lbs in a week. I have more energy and the bloated feeling is gone. Hoping an additional weightloss will help my aching back.

I will keep you posted.

Okay ...it might sound lil crazy as I am a physician myself who totally believes in Alternative Medicine for herself and her family. Anyway...I suffered from acne all my life always putting something on my face to treat it nothing worked. I accidently found this website 3 weeks ago ...tried the Hydrogen peroxide on acne leisons and my face is clear new leisons go away in less than 24 hrs ...in addition to that I apply coconut oil to my face and neck its the best moisturizer I ever used doesnt aggrevate my acne at all. After yrs of hiding under make up my face is clearing up and complexion has a glow to it. I went overboard with different things I guess but all are working. I take 1 tsf of molasses in my tea in the morning (hoping to get rid of gray hair) 1 apple cider tablet couldnt stand drinking it ... also apply it topically after cleaning my face with H2O2 and then coconut oil externally ...wipe off excess and you are good to go ...I am thankful to all of you who have written the feed backs and remedies.I am 36, people think of me in my late twenties now lost 8 lbs in less than one month with these ACV tabs and everything else am doing I guess..everyone should give it a try better than many expensive creams and meds. Good Luck all...and thank you Earth Clinic:

I lost 75lbs in 8 months using apple cider vinegar and garlic. I bought the tablets for both instead of drinking the vinegar because I just threw up instead. Also bear in mind this weight loss happened without changing my diet and not exercising so it would probably work even better doing those things. I did up my water intake partially because I was advised to and also I did find myself wanting it. In addition to weight loss I had regular bowel movements and tons of energy. I had relief to many common illnesses and conditions.
