Apple Cider Vinegar for Fat Burning and Weight Loss

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!

Yeah you really have to address the whole picture. Nothing is going to be a magical miracle that relieves you of your humanly responsibilities.

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.

how much apple cider vinegar are you taking a day?

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!

just wanted to know do you drink the 2tbsp on acv straight or with water and if with water how much...

Can you please tell me how much you take and how many times a day? Your story seems very similar to mine. Thanks!

Hello! The last 2 years of college i have gained about 15 pounds that i have been trying to lose and it's been so HARD! I don't know why i can't lose these last few pounds. I weigh about 138-140ish and want to be back down to 125 (I'm not even 5'4) So, it's not unreasonable- since i'm not that big of a person. I read all of these amazing testimonies of ACV - but most of the people had somewhat significant weightloss needs and were quite over weight - does this work for "normal" people who only have 15-20lbs to lose? How did you lose your weight? how much AVC and when did you drink it?

Please don't brush your teeth right after having vinegar. It grinds the vinegar into your tooth enamel and causes it to wear down. Do rinse your mouth with water. Once vinegar in neutralized it should be safe to brush your teeth.

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.

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.

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.

Hey Taaz, As a dental professional, drinking the apple cider mix is best ingested through a straw. However, while sipping understand that when sugar or acid is introduce into the body, it will continue to show it self through saliva that washes over your teeth throughout the day. You must brush no less than twice a day especially before you go to bed, thats when damage will occur due to (0) liquid flow in the mouth and always increase water intake throughout the day. This will decrease acid or sugar damage to the oral cavity

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.

Hi Dr...
If you do that, it will work, but most people take a couple of tablespoons at a time, 2x a day. After prolonged exposure, your teeth and throat might not like it. If you put 2 tablespoons of ACV in the bottom of a glass, and add 1/2 of a TEAspoon of baking soda to it.... And let it sit until it stops foaming, then add water (about 8 - 10oz) and a splash of Orange Juice or Apple Juice, (or any type of juice - about 2 oz) I swear you will not even notice the ACV! Just give it a try.... Oj is best for masking the taste in my opinion.
It is really worth the effort. I don't even really measure anymore, I just dump this and that and all good. Been taking it for about a year, and loving it.

I could not handle it in water either it made me want to vomit. I started taking straight shots of it until I read about someone adding it to juice. I will add 2tbls to about 16oz of grapefruit or orange juice(only juices I like) & you can't even taste it. My husband drinks it in Apple so I'm assuming any juice of your choice would work. Make sure you use a straw to get past the teeth as it does break down enamel. Hope this helps!

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

Thank you so much for your response! I started it for a while & then got off track. But I started again and am looking forward to the results! In the first few days I had more energy and looked &felt less bloated. I recommened to anyone just starting out to keep it cold and drink it through a straw! Good luck!

Hi everyone, Have you tried raw honey and cinnamon for weight loss? My partner is having 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon in a cup of boiling water ( 250 MLS ) allow to cool 1/2 hour before adding 1 teaspoon of raw honey, drink half the cup before bed and the rest in the morning. Apparently it just as effective on toast.

He is not a regular exerciser and likes a few beers, will keep you updated. Honey and cinnamon have plenty of health benefits too. I am trying the ACV I would like to loose a few kilo's, was having it after meals without loosing kilo's ( LOST CM's .) Will now try before meals.

We haven't been on these for long, close to a month so far.

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

apple cider vineger taste; i mix mine with apple cider and this is pretty tastey; add ac to suit your own taste buds

I hear ya on the taste of ACV!! I to like the benefits-but hate the smell and taste. I have found that if I pour it in some juice(orange is my preference)and suck it down really quickly through a straw it is more easy on the palate. Hope this is of some help to you.

Hi all...I am trying to lose weight through exercise and diet for the past few months. But I am dint find much of a change in me. I happened to find this site and I am very curious to try ACV for my weight loss. I gathered from your posts that it is better to use ORAGANIC ACV for best results. Can anyone please tell me where can I buy ORGANIC ACV in Bangalore? Thanks in advance... Congratulations to all you guys out there for starting this wonderful site.

Hi Automn, I've used both organic and plain old supermarket ACV. I think you'll get a benefit from either, but most importantly, find one that you like the taste of. Like wine, they all taste very different. I've found a brand of organic I like and a brand of supermarket brand I like too. Organic just means (or should mean) it's pesticide free, I prefer to buy authentically organic, but it's not always the case that something labelled organic is. I worked for a food importer and exporter (in a first world country) and the certification for organic products were very lax, not requiring more than a certificate a 10 year old could have typed up on a computer. Especially when you have ingredients coming from third world countries where there are no guidelines for organic products, much less any food safety guidelines.

Just a note for those of you who really are enthusiastic about buying organic. The most ideal is grow your own, or alternately, know who you are buying from, once you get into pre-packaged and sent half-way around the world organic, you really can't with any certainty know that the ingredients are organic, not to mention the carbon footprint for that product would outweigh any benefit of it actually being organic.

Eat well, be happy & healthy x

The regular Apple Cider Vinegar won't work. It has to be raw & unfiltered with the 'mother' in it. If you are buying filtered Apple Cider Vinegar you aren't getting any of the health benefits because they've all been filtered out. If you can't buy it in your area you can always buy it online on sites like amazon.

You can also try eBay. GNC has a site on there and I got the good stuff without shipping charges.

I want to start using Apple Cider Vinegar for weight loss... but here I am not able to find unfiltered ACV.....Is filtered apple cider vinegar helpful in weight loss?

I bought the expensive brand of _____s with the mother in it several years ago and mixed it with the cheaper store brands (gallon size). Put it on the shelf for awhile, and the mother started growing. Now I just make sure I always keep some back to mix with the processed vinegar. Works every time. It's kind of like using sourdough starter. It has saved me a lot of money over time.

Make your own vinegar. I make kombucha tea with apple juice. The mother eats the sugar and if you leave it long enough, you get vinegar. Kombucha at the early stages, then vinegar later. I buy Braggs when I don't make the kombucha for a while. Pretty inexpensive.

Nan, I am just getting my supplies ready to make some Kombucha tea...and love the KT brand of ginger Kombucha. Have you ever made Kombucha with Ginger? If so, at what point do I add ginger in the fermentation process?

Thanks!

:D

The best place to buy is Willy's ACV.

It is organic from 300 year old untouched cider apple orchards in the beautiful British countryside. Thus the Mother is 300 years old!

Unlike Bragg's, it is not from concentrate and tastes better than all the other ones I tried.

Tip: If you bough the clarified kind of ACV and don't want to waste it, here's another way you can use it. In the washing machine. Put it where you would 'fabric softener/conditioner'.

Tip: many speak of adding ACV to a glass of water, you can also take a sip out of a 500 ml bottle of bottled water and add a splash of ACV. Probably better water and you dont need a measuring spoon and can shake it.

Hi, I am mother of two kids and my both kids delivered through operation, and I have belly fat stomach I am too much worried about this how it's possible to reduce my fatty belly?Can I use apple cider vinegar please tell me, now my weight is 84kg. How can I reduce? Please advise.

From personal experience I would suggest watching the movie 'Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead' (available online) and then begin the program.

I lost close to 32 pounds in 40 days and I can successfully say that I have maintained that weight loss. The first 3 days can be a bit rough, but then it is easy as pie. Good luck

Today is my first day of using this ACV for trying to loss weight. I started off this morning with a 8oz warm glass before breakfast and another before lunch at noon, I didn't feel hungry so I made myself eat small snack I will another 8oz before dinner. Please let me know if this is the correct concept.

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...! ;-)

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.

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

Yes, many people have food sensitivities to many things as well as ACV, try buying some pure aloe vera juice and drinking it after, it is one of natures best remedies for upset stomachs especially since it is one of the best natural cures for stomach ulcers. Tom

Apple Cider Vinegar can & will increase your Stomach Acid causing Gerd/Indigestion so if it burns your stomach neutralize it with milk or baking soda & discontinue the ACV, the only people that benefit fully from acv are those with low stomach acid. So if you get a burning sensation it means you have too much stomach acid. You can take a splash of ACV in a gallon of water & sip it through the day, this will help not get the acid reflux. Or I have taken it with baking soda & that also works because baking soda neutralizes it. Acv also lowers blood sugar & that could be the reason your so hungry. Hope this helps.
