Many of you have already heard that raw, organic, and unfiltered apple cider vinegar can assist in weight loss and overall well-being. The apple cider vinegar diet is probiotic, and has many additional health benefits. Here we explore how the apple cider vinegar diet as part of a healthy lifestyle can help you lose weight while at the same time, acting as a tonic for the body.
Although many fad diets that create rapid weight loss have come and gone over the years, it is encouraging to note that the apple cider vinegar diet leads to gradual weight loss. It would be nice if we could shed pounds quickly and never see them again, but experience has shown that weight that leaves easily comes back easily.
The Apple Cider Vinegar Diet
If you lose weight quickly, your body will oblige you by kicking in mechanisms to make it more likely this weight will slip back on in no time. But if you can be patient and do not expect instant results, your fat cells will adjust to their new size more willingly and not insist on contributing on your waistline. The apple cider vinegar diet is perfect for this.

Apple Cider Vinegar is best taken before meals
When you give it some thought, it makes good sense that drinking apple cider vinegar before meals would help with weight loss. Apples are a good source of pectin, and including pectin in your diet can make you feel fuller and more satisfied. Since apple cider vinegar contains the same amount of pectin as apples (one apple has about 1.5 grams pectin), it can suppress your appetite in a similar way.
There is also good science behind why apple cider vinegar would encourage weight loss even more effectively than eating raw apples. In general, acids help with the digestion of protein, the building blocks for some of our hormones, especially growth hormone.
We’ve seen how this hormone is instrumental in breaking down fat cells. By increasing the acid present in your stomach before a meal, you’ll ensure the chances for thorough digestion and increase the availability of protein for hormone synthesis.
Apple Cider Vinegar assists protein utilization
Greater protein utilization helps the formation of growth hormone, the substance that keeps the body’s metabolism going while we’re at rest. This is why it is important to drink apple cider vinegar before or with your evening meal.
Apple Cider Vinegar stimulates digestion
Because apple cider vinegar stimulates digestion, it also reduces the amount of time that fats remains in the digestive tract. It’s important that your body gets a chance to remove key nutrients from your food, and conditions that contribute to diarrhea can be life-threatening.
At the same time, it can be unhealthful to have food remain in the intestines for too long. If fats present longer than necessary during digestion, more fats will be absorbed.
Apple cider vinegar works at the very beginning of the digestive process to stimulate your appetite and increase your interest in food. Normally, you wouldn’t think of this as being the direction you want to go in if you’re trying to lose weight. But apple cider vinegar works positively to support your efforts by increasing your interest in whole foods.
Apple Cider Vinegar assists in utilization of iron
ACV can improve the body’s utilization of iron, a nutrient that acts like fire-starter for fuel. Iron is a key component in substances that carry oxygen to the cells and hold it there. It’s the ability of apple cider vinegar to increase iron utilization and energy consumption in the body that makes it such a supportive food for weight loss.
Apple Cider Vinegar is great source of potassium
Apples are a great source of potassium, and likewise, apple cider vinegar, taken on a regular basis, will contribute the potassium you need to help balance the sodium in your diet. In fact, try replacing salt in your diet with apple cider vinegar. Use it to top foods you might be tempted to salt, such as vegetables or protein foods. A little vinegar over a plate of beans is a regional favorite in many parts of America.
Recommendation for losing weight with the apple cider vinegar diet:
Here is my recommendation for using the apple cider vinegar diet to lose weight, based on the work of Dr. Jarvis and others:
- 1 to 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar + 8 ounces water *
- Drink before meals 3 times a day
* Though this author recommends 1 to 2 teaspoons of ACV per cup of water, other sources call for 1 tablespoon per cup of water or other liquid, and that seems to be what VegKitchen readers have found most effective.

November 28, 2011 at 2:51 pmdo you mix the teaspoons of viniger with the glass of water?
Nava
December 2, 2011 at 5:28 pmTami, sorry for the delayed response. Yes, you’d mix the vinegar with the water.
Monica
December 15, 2011 at 12:36 amDoes it matter what temperature the water is?

January 28, 2012 at 8:08 amHi
I’ve started to take apple cider vinegar, mainly because of ibs and so to help flush out the plaque and bacteria in the colon, also for better nutrient absorption. Does it flush out the good bacteria too tho?
I was happy to read about the great protein synthesis and GH production because i’m male and currently trying to bulk up in the gym. And so am concerned of the weight loss.
or is this weight loss specific to fat loss? and further how does it react to good fats?
Nava
January 28, 2012 at 10:04 amHi Larry — thanks for your good questions. I will have the author of this author respond here, hopefully early in the week of Jan.30. Stay tuned!
tympestt
January 30, 2012 at 5:08 amI can take the 2 tbsp of vinegar more willingly without the water, otherwise I would think about the taste too much and not drink it…. can I still get the same results without mixing water?
Nava
January 30, 2012 at 8:08 amTympestt, I can’t say for sure, but I wouldn’t take the vinegar straight — I understand it’s really hard on tooth enamel that way. I wonder, too, whether it might be too acidic for the stomach taken straight. Maybe at least put it in 1/4 cup water, and make sure to brush your teeth afterwards!
kathy
February 13, 2012 at 7:30 pmShould you drink the water and vinegar right before your meal or an hour before?
Nava
February 13, 2012 at 9:43 pmFrom what I’ve read, Kathy, it’s pretty much right before a meal. Maybe within 15 minutes. An hour would likely be too much time.
shanthi
February 17, 2012 at 8:50 pmhi, My son is turning 13 this years this year. My worry is, he s putting on inches at his belly. Is it safe for me to give him Apple Cider Vinegar before his meal.
Nava
February 17, 2012 at 10:44 pmHi Shanthi, I don’t think it could do any harm if taken with water before meals but for a 13 year old, more activity would probably be better. Often a growth spurt helps with that baby fat around the belly, so hopefully with exercise and a good diet that extra fat will disappear.
Lorraine
February 20, 2012 at 10:49 amI was wondering if taking apple cider vinegar pills would work as well as drinking the vinegar mixed with water?
Nava
February 21, 2012 at 11:43 amLorraine, I am not familiar with cider vinegar pills, so I can’t comment on if and how they’d work. I wonder if they’d be hard on the stomach; though the sensible thing would be to take them with lots of water. Sorry I can’t be more helpful.
Maureen
February 22, 2012 at 2:18 pmI am currently taking 2 TBSP before each meal…is that amount too much?
Thank you
Nava
February 23, 2012 at 8:20 amMaureen, that’s a lot of vinegar– and though this article is written by a different expert, I’d say to be careful; the acidity could be hard on both your stomach and teeth. make sure you take the vinegar w/ plenty of water, and brush your teeth afterwards. Or dial it down to 1 T per cup of water and see if you still reap the benefits.
Kay
February 23, 2012 at 8:50 amHey I was wondering how much weight I can loose while drinking apple cider vinegar for 1 week
Nava
February 23, 2012 at 8:56 amKay, there is no way to know this … it also depends on so many other factors; how much/what do you eat, amount of activity you get, etc. But try it for a week and see what happens; report back to us here and let us know!
Marnie
February 23, 2012 at 10:53 amHey I’m curently substituting 2 of my meals with a special k shake & the 1 meal that I do eat I do the 2 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar mix wit a glass of water. My concern is I’m I gonna get the same effect from intaking only 1 mixture of the apple cider vinegar & water a day, as you would if you do the 3 intakes a day?
Nava
February 23, 2012 at 10:56 amMarnie, since this article was written by a guest contributor, it’s hard for me to answer such specific questions on this with any degree of accuracy or expertise. the only thing to do is to try it for a week and see what your results are. But I’m more concerned that you’re replacing two meals, as I’m not sure that’s sustainable over the long run. Good luck!
Becky
February 24, 2012 at 12:51 pmI take 2 TBSP before each meal. No water. Like someone said before, I couldnt get it down of I had to drink it. I have heard to put natural honey in the water of the taste is to bitter but have not tried it myself. My questions is this; Sometimes I forget to take it before my meal and will take it during or after, do you know if it still has the same effect? I have been taking the A.C.V. for 2 wks and I am down 2lbs. I was told when I started to expect about 1-2lbs a week. I have found many of the things mentioned in the article to be true. I suffer from chronic fatigue, depression, I am obese and so on…I am experiencing an energy surge, clearer thinking and a craving for fruits & veggies. Thank You for this article, it is very helpful & inspirational.
Nava
February 25, 2012 at 7:28 amBecky, I’m glad that this post has been helpful to you. I wonder, though, if you should chase down the vinegar with some water. I’d be worried that all that acid would be hard on your stomach and teeth. I really can’t say if the vinegar would have the same effect taken with or after your meal. That would certainly be hard to quantify, but if anything it can’t hurt.
An energy surge and craving fruits and veggies are good signs! As soon as you are able, add movement into your daily routine. Activity is the key to sustained weight loss.
Kierra
February 27, 2012 at 4:55 pmI have school during the day so will it still work if i drink the vinegar and water every hour for 2 hours then the third hour 15 minutes before i eat?
Nava
February 27, 2012 at 8:09 pmKierra, I don’t think so; I think it’s supposed to be taken before each meal.
Heather
March 8, 2012 at 6:11 amThis is my first time seeing this article, but I’ve been drinking an apple cider vinegar drink for about a month, and I am starting to lose stubborn abdominal fat with no other change. Also, my complexion has improved. I take 2 tsp. of vinegar, 8-9 drops liquid stevia, and the juice from half a lemon, with a full glass of water. It’s actually quite tasty that way, I really like it.
Nava
March 8, 2012 at 8:37 amHeather, thanks for this great tip. If you do check back in, could you tell VegKitchen’s readers whether you do this before each meal, or just once or twice a day?
claudia
March 11, 2012 at 2:00 pmHello,
I’ve heard about acv and have been trying it for about a week. No changes in weight loss but my stomach is feeling less bloated after meals. My question is will it still work if I drink it throughout the day? Like before and after eating? I usually drink a glass of acv then drink some green tea. I’ve cut out any other liquids cause I have been having trouble loosing those last extra pounds and as a full time student I don’t have enough time to hit the gym.
Thanks!
Nava
March 11, 2012 at 2:02 pmClaudia, it’s really hard to say if it will work. I hope you are drinking it in a glass of water, otherwise it will be hard on the stomach and on your teeth! Give it a try and let us know how you make out.
Jane
March 12, 2012 at 1:35 amHi,
I Would like to know if I can eat apples and drink the apple cider vinegar as well and still manage to lose weight? I really Want to lose 20 lbs before the summer.
Nava
March 12, 2012 at 8:19 amJane, there is actually a book called The 3-Apple-a-Day Diet Plan that talks about eating apples to lose weight: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/asin/0767920414/vegkitchenblog-20
Rose
March 15, 2012 at 9:09 pmHi,
Im drinking acv only once a day, I wonder if this will have the same effect as if drinking it twice a day. In the morning I eat cereal or drink a shake then drink acv wit my lunch meal and for dinner im eating vegetables. If its recommended to drink acv twice a day with what meals should I take it or should I just continue to drink it once a day?
Nava
March 15, 2012 at 9:15 pmRose, all this information is anecdotal, but my sense is that if you drink the ACV in water before both of your main meals rather than just one, it would probably have more effect. Do let us know if you see any results.
Lilly
March 23, 2012 at 11:29 amI am trying to loss weight, and I think to try that with ACV would that help. And how much is a glass of water.
Nava
March 23, 2012 at 1:43 pmLilly, it doesn’t have to be exact. 8 to 12 ounces of water is about right.
Jasmine
March 23, 2012 at 9:36 pmHey , I was wondering do we have to drink it everyday ?
Nava
March 23, 2012 at 11:25 pmJasmine, in the article it says that taking 2 teaspoons of ACV in a glass of water before each meal on a regular basis leads to weight loss. So yes, I’m afraid this needs to be done on a daily basis for it to work. Try also adding a little lemon juice and a few drops of liquid stevia as another reader suggests; it’s good that way — almost tastes like lemonade.
Bailey
March 24, 2012 at 9:55 pmHi, I am new to drinking ACV. I was wondering if I take my ACV with a bottle of water (which is usually about 20 fl oz.) will I still get the same effect compared to 8oz. ?? I workout 3 times a week, and I have a fairly balanced diet, but I’m having trouble losing this horrendous belly fat. Thanks in advance.
Nava
March 25, 2012 at 10:37 amBailey, I can’t say for sure whether that’s a good idea or not, but intuitively I’m not sure it would be a good thing to take the ACV in the water bottle you use to keep yourself hydrated. I think the concentration of the 1 to 2 tsp in one glass of water before meals is the formula recommended in this article. Good luck!
Brittany
March 25, 2012 at 1:57 pmHey,
I was wondering if I only take in two tablespoons of ACV a day with exercise for 30 minutes a day will that lead to faster weight loss?
Nava
March 25, 2012 at 2:24 pmBrittany, adding 30 minutes of exercise to your day is very likely to lead to quicker and more sustained weigh loss. No way it could hurt, so do give it a try and let us know how you are doing.
Marie
March 26, 2012 at 9:44 amWill I be able to lose weight in a week? Maybe 3 pounds?
Nava
March 26, 2012 at 9:52 amMarie, there’s really no way to predict. It also depends on what you are eating, how much activity you get, and how consistent you are with the ACV. ACV weight loss is generally known to be very slow, so unfortunately this is not a quick fix!
Rock
March 27, 2012 at 2:53 amIm eating a lot of protein and mainly veggies for carbs and I’m extremely active in the gym I take a tablespoon of acv straight up do u think my fat loss would be quicker this way?
paula
March 31, 2012 at 7:59 amHi ive been doing the avc diet for 2 weeks now although im using the braggs raw unfiltered acv i mix 2 tbsp with a few drops of lemon juice to a 16.9oz bottle of water 3-4 times a day. I eat my regular foods i dont eat diet stuff and have had great success. I have lost 12 lbs in the short time. I have also added exercise to my daily routine. I want to lose another 30 lbs.
Nava
April 1, 2012 at 10:31 pmRock, I would still put the ACV in water — otherwise it might be hard on the stomach and the teeth. As far as whether it would be quicker, it’s hard to tell, it really varies according to body weight and overall activity. Paula, a 12-lb weight loss in a short time is amazing! Way to go …
beth
April 19, 2012 at 9:48 pmis it okay to take two teaspoons and chase it with a glass of water rather than mixing it.. I find it easier to get it down this way?
Nava
April 20, 2012 at 4:12 pmBeth, I think that sounds perfectly reasonable!
aneeqa
April 21, 2012 at 6:42 amHi
I am suffering from pcos. will acv help me lose weight?
Nava
April 21, 2012 at 11:07 amAneequa, it is doubtful that acv can be the entire solution to a medical issue like pcos. Perhaps if you treated the underlying hormonal condition, a folk remedy like ACV would be more effective.
latha
April 22, 2012 at 3:42 ami have tried a lot to get the Bragg ACV but i could not get it .Is it suggestigle to use any other brand to loose weight?Please suggest.
I am from Hyderabad,India.
lydia
April 27, 2012 at 12:57 pmcan i use ordinary ACV i cannot get organic ACV,and does this ACV have any sideeffect on the liver.thanks
Nava
April 29, 2012 at 5:58 pmLydia, I don’t know about any specific effects on the liver, the only thing I’ve heard is positive, that it helps the liver do its job. Personally I wouldn’t use anything other than organic ACV. Apples that are not organic, after all, are heavily sprayed with pesticide and I’m not sure that it’s totally mitigated with the fermentation process. I would look for a source to order Bragg’s or other organic brand of ACV online, or ask your closest natural foods store to order you a big bottle — it lasts a long time!
Nava
April 29, 2012 at 6:03 pmLatha, I wish I could help you but I really don’t know what would be available in India.I wonder if you can get any brand of organic ACV other than Bragg’s.
jovie
May 30, 2012 at 1:40 pmhow long will it take for you to see results
Nava
May 30, 2012 at 4:51 pmJovie, it really depends on other factors — do you exercise, are you eating reasonable portions, etc. I found that when I stopped doing ACV before dinner, I started putting a little weight back on; I do thing it speeds digestion. But it’s a very slow weight loss process and you shouldn’t expect quick results. Give it 30 days to see if it works for you.
tiara
June 26, 2012 at 8:14 pmSo it has to be organic ACV? I have bought a store brand and another question I’m planning on doing 20 sit ups before bed will that speed up the process? How many lbs did you lose in thirty days?
Nava
June 27, 2012 at 10:27 pmTiara, organic ACV is simply healthier. I recommend Braggs. Doing 20 sit ups will help with muscle tone but not weight loss. The speed of process is quite variable, but this is a slow process in general.
Louise
October 1, 2012 at 9:21 pmI drink a shot of acv at bedtime for relief of heartburn. Does anyone else do this? Should I be diluting it?
Nava
October 2, 2012 at 11:25 amLouise, I’ve never heard of it for heartburn, but hey, if it works, why not? I would’t do it undiluted, though, as it can be hard on the stomach and teeth. In a short glass of water would be safest.
LKK
November 1, 2012 at 9:11 pmI bought the Braggs ACV at Meijer.
mcpatty
November 11, 2012 at 7:32 pmThis really works..i recently resumed acv drinks because I was constantly craving sugar and refined carbs- I have lost 4 lbs in less than 2 weeks. Drinking Bragg’s ACV diluted in plenty of water and sweetened with Stevia.
Nava
November 19, 2012 at 8:41 pmMcPatty, I’m glad this worked for you! I think it has helped me avoid colds this season as well.
Sharon
November 24, 2012 at 3:11 amJust want to say that I’ve been taking a tablespoon of Braggs vinegar before dinner every night for over a year now and I have noticeably lost weight! I haven’t increased exercise or changed my diet (except it’s true that vinegar will make you crave healthier foods and eat a little less). It has also helped in other ways (seems to have regulated my body temp, I’ve avoided getting sick, less blood loss during cycle and more). I highly recommend ACV!
zikhona

Maz
December 14, 2012 at 5:06 amHi
I have reached plateau on my diet. I don’t eat much as I am on slimming capsules. Can I take acv and still take my slimming capsules?
I don’t really want to stop the slimming capsules, however I need to break through from this plateau.
I want to try acv purely just to end this plateau.
Thanks
Nava
December 14, 2012 at 11:54 amMaz, I don’t think ACV would interfere with slimming capsules, but I think a better strategy is to increase your level of activity if you have reached a plateau. A 15-minutes burst of aerobic activity would probably be an effective way to break through.
But you might think of stopping the capsules, as you can’t do those forever. Another good thing to do is to make sure you are eating 2 to 3 pounds of vegetables every day. these are practically calorie-free, and fill you up!
Maz
December 15, 2012 at 12:17 amHi
Thanks for your response.
I started the acv today and I had been to the toilet ten times by noon.
I have read that fluid retention is the main reason for weight loss plateau regardless of the approach you take to lose the weight.
Is this true?
Previously I was not urinating at all despite all the water I was consuming, as it is a symptom of malnourishment. I’ve started eating healthy foods especially protein, in conjunction with the acv I’m really hoping I get my body balanced and be on my way to losing my last 10kg.
Do you think I’m doing the right thing?
Maz
December 15, 2012 at 12:26 amBtw I will be walking for half an hr a day as I do think my physical activity is rather low, I just gave birth so I’m stuck at home.
Also the I didn’t want to get off the slimming capsules although I have reached a plateau as they contain serotonin and also give me energy for the new bub, I have a tendency of having post natal depression and very bad mood swings…… These pills have helped me avoid these.
As soon as I get back to work I’m normally better mentally, and so don’t need pills.
Maz
December 15, 2012 at 3:02 pmHow long does it take for the water weight to come off with acv?
Can’t seem to find anything online
Thanks
Zara
December 31, 2012 at 8:32 pmHi, im not sure why Bragg’s acv is the one advised as a good one to use (perhaps due to a commission based contract with the publisher?) as when i was told of the benefits of acv i was told to get a acv that is
4 THINGS 1. Raw as in un pasturised (not boiled or cooked) to keep the nutrients alive.
2. un refined, as in all the nutrient rich bits left in the acv
3. No added extras, as in water, alcohol ect to dilute and destroy the helth benefits and lastly but MOST IMPORTANT NO. 4 your acv should have what is called “MOTHER” (look it up) naturaly occuring in your acv (if you have the top 3 down then 4 is a given) if you want the best THAT is the ACV YOU WANT!
Nava
January 1, 2013 at 10:39 amHi Zara, the four reasons you state are exactly the ones why Bragg’s ACV is recommended here. There is no commission! I wonder if Bragg’s is not available in the UK. Perhaps your equivalent brand is different. If so perhaps you’d like to share that with VegKitchen readers, as there are plenty from the UK. And thank you so much for your tip on the water with half a fresh lemon. I have no doubt that’s a great way to wake the body up, though it would be a difficult habit for those of us addicted to our morning coffee!
Zara
December 31, 2012 at 8:41 pmp.s if you are only wanting to use avc for weight loss you can shed pounds very quickly by drinking a tall glass of water with half a FRESH lemon squeezed into it first thing in the morning an hour before your breakfast, substitute water for your usual drink of choise and add a little light exercise (or not) and watch the weight drop off.
There are other health benefits to adding half a lemon to your diet every morning too.
Anita
June 14, 2013 at 7:07 amI live in UK and you can buy Bragg’s apple cider vinegar online from Real Foods: http://www.realfoods.co.uk/product/22039/braggs-organic-apple-cider-vinegar-473ml
You can also buy there a few other apple cider vinegar that is raw as in un pasturised and un refined with no added extras and with “MOTHER IN”

July 2, 2013 at 3:34 pmHi,I’m looking to lose 20-30lbs.will ACV help? (I also do cardio workout)
Nava
July 2, 2013 at 10:29 pmNaesha, a lot of people have found ACV to be helpful, and it certainly can’t hurt … it has a lot of other health benefits. But I think that doing cardio and weights, plus portion control and eliminating white sugar, high fructose corn syrup, white starches and high fat foods will go a long way toward weight loss. Good luck!

July 9, 2013 at 8:30 amHi,
How long we have to take this and any said effect,,,,,,,,?
Nava
July 9, 2013 at 8:36 amManjunath, this is a long, slow process from what I understand. It may or may not work for everyone trying to lose weight. But if you use the organic ACV the only side effect is a good one — it’s supposed to strengthen your immune system and improve digestion.
Natasha
July 12, 2013 at 12:07 amAs you’ve recommended to take it thrice a day ,…does it mean the same glass to be taken three times or every time a glass of water with 2 tbs of acv to be taken. I am confused.
Nava
July 12, 2013 at 7:51 amNatasha, I do beleve that the author means three different glasses of water with 1 to 2 teaspoons each time. Hope that clarifies …
abby.g
July 20, 2013 at 11:56 amIs it okay to blend acv in juices? Like pineapple, ice tea , shake etc… or just water.?
Nava
July 21, 2013 at 6:50 pmAbby, it wouldn’t hurt from the perspective of the other benefits of ACV — ie, it’s good for the immune system, etc. — but if it’s strictly for trying to lose weight, I think a big part of it is the combination with the glass of water just before meals.

November 11, 2013 at 11:21 pmHi, I just found your article. I have been drinking ACV for a while now, twice a day 30 mins before breakfast and dinner 1 tbs dilluted in water and 1 tbs of raw honey. I didnt take Bragg’s brand as I couldn’t find it in my city. So I ‘ve been taking Heinz. I read a few articles that doubted this brand because it was claimed to be not natural. Thankfully I`ve still noticed weight loss after two weeks. at least 2 Kg (no exercise) or even more if I did exercise. My first aim was to reduce my allergy (and it did!) but I got weight loss bonus as well because I dont crave food even though it looks very delicious and smells tempting. I`ve eaten regularly and felt full with the sufficient amount of meal.
Great article by the way!

November 12, 2013 at 10:00 pmAneuk, I’m glad this method is working for you. Bragg’s, because it’s naturally fermented, has other health benefits, so you might want to seek it out at some point. Amazon.com even sells it!
Terry
November 19, 2013 at 9:30 amI add a few drops of angostura bitters – it improves the taste, and makes it taste less of vinegar I think. And I drink it through a straw because it really can remove enamel from your teeth.
Nena
November 22, 2013 at 3:00 pmDoes drinking acv helps cleaning your liver, improving liver enzimes and eliminating? I’ve been drinking it and it really helps with going for elimination.

November 27, 2013 at 2:56 amHey. I am now using the Heinz ACV with ultra-filtered. I have just started it a week ago. Can it still help me to lose some weight? I am now drinking the acv 2tablespoon before each meal + some dancing(I’ve heard dancing help to lose weight too). But yeah, can the ultra-filtered acv still help me lose some weight?
Nava
November 27, 2013 at 8:17 amLulu, the dancing is much more likely to help you lose weight than the Heinz ACV. I think the Bragg’s Organic ACV, since it is naturally fermented, is essential to this. Two tablespoons might be a bit much. And you need to water it down, and then brush your teeth afterwards, as that amount of ACV will wear away at the enamel on your teeth.

January 8, 2014 at 10:58 amI want to loose weight 6_7kg….can ACV help me???because I don’t have time to exercise…I m 17yrs nd my height is 5.5 nd my weight is 60…..plz z thr any way to loose weight….help me plzzz….
steph
January 14, 2014 at 6:12 amI used Braggs organic ACV (mother) and it works first you lose the inches and the dancing and walking helps. I also start eating smaller meals and much more vegetables and blueberries. The weight is coming down as it should in a healthy way.
Nava
January 14, 2014 at 7:53 amSteph, that is fabulous, and you’re right, the good way for weight to come off, by eating lots of fruits and veggies and moving more! The ACV doesn’t hurt, I’m sure, but is more effective if combined with the lifestyle changes you describe.
Roslyn
January 28, 2014 at 9:55 pmHow long before each meal should I drink the ACV?
Nava
January 28, 2014 at 9:59 pmRoslyn, the rule of thumb seems to be about a half hour before meals.
Jess
February 3, 2014 at 8:26 amI have a 5 month old that I am Breastfeeding can I still use this technique of water and acv to help with weight loss while Breastfeeding ?
Nava
February 3, 2014 at 8:40 amJess, I’m not comfortable with giving such specific advice; but the breastfeeding itself should help in weight loss! I can’t imagine that the ACV would hurt, as, after all, it’s a food, but certain foods affect how the breast milk tastes and/or how it agrees with the baby. Perhaps a Registered Dietician can address your concern with more credibility!
Jess
February 3, 2014 at 10:33 amThank you

PRiNCESSgIgI
February 8, 2014 at 11:49 amI’m now moving into regular use of this to assist in my weight transformation / im ridding myself of 70 pounds in all / i use 2 tablespoons acv to 8 ounces water so when drinking a bottled water 16.9 ounces i add 4 tablespoons to it and i do this 3 times per day. I’m proceeding into this weight transformation journey with a positive outlook and LOTS of acv/ exercise/ and waist training to boot … yIPEEE!
Joyce Mataya
February 12, 2014 at 6:02 amI was taking ACV for fibroids and just discovered I lost 4kgs in 6 weeks. surely it works
Nava
February 12, 2014 at 8:31 amThat’s amazing … and for those not on the metric system, 4 kgs is about 9 pounds. Good for you, Joyce! And I hope it helped with the fibroids as well. Thanks for all the other recent comments by others, as well.
claudia
February 12, 2014 at 12:57 pmI have a ? can we eat anything with this. I started ACV
Sylvia
February 15, 2014 at 10:20 pmI like to drink a glass of grapefruit juice before breakfast and lunch, do you think it would be ok to mix the acv with this instead of water?
Nava
February 16, 2014 at 6:13 pmSylvia, I really don’t know but sounds like it wouldn’t hurt. also sounds quite tasty and tangy! Claudia, it’s always best to eat healthy food only, so then it’s not a “diet,” but a way of life.
fanaa
February 21, 2014 at 6:18 amhow much days should we drink ???
Nava
February 21, 2014 at 7:35 amFanaa, you can do this forever if you want, as ACV is good for you in other ways, but you can stop once you’ve lost the desired weight, if this method works for you.
Steven
February 21, 2014 at 8:54 amWhen was this type of weight loss invented?
Nava
February 21, 2014 at 10:29 amSteven, I’m not sure exactly when it was invented, but the idea was put forth by Dr. D.C, Jarvis. You can read a bit about him in this short article on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D._C._Jarvis
Natari
February 21, 2014 at 7:01 pmIs there any particular type of cup use for drinking ACV? Like you have to use glass or ceramic? Is it okay to use the sports bottle?
When you say before the meal, is there time gap needed? 10 or 30 min before meal.
Nava
February 21, 2014 at 10:05 pmI don’t think it matters what kind of container you drink it from, though 30 minutes before mealtime is what’s generally recommended.
Reena Darius
February 21, 2014 at 9:51 pmYes there is other apple cider organic vinegar you can
Use if you can’t get the Bragg’s brand. You
Can also use the heinz apple cider organic
Which is just as good as the Bragg’s brand.
Nava
February 21, 2014 at 10:06 pmI’m not sure the Heinz brand is as good; the Bragg’s is fermented, which is one of its benefits.
Reena Darius
February 21, 2014 at 9:56 pmApple cider vinegar is good for lots of stuff, eg, diabetes, flu, heartburn and much more, I read about it, I lost 8 pounds in 6 wks.
Nava
February 21, 2014 at 10:06 pmThat’s amazing, Reena.

Juanita Boyd
February 23, 2014 at 5:39 pmFor those who really want to lose weight, Bragg’s Vinegar is the best. No other brand is better.
Barbara
February 24, 2014 at 8:50 amI suffer with RA and I’m hoping the taking shots of Apple cider Vinegar will help with the inflammation that goes along with it.
I’m lost as I am doing gluten free diet, low salt and sodium , also low to no sugar added in everything I eat.
I have put on 30 pound that I assume is all the medications the doctors have me taking.
Now I’m trying to get off the meds and hope the Apple cider Vinegar will help me with the pain, inflammation and lose the 30Ibs.
Barbara
February 24, 2014 at 8:57 amI have heard that wheat is something to stay away from to help lose Belly Fat.
I enjoy a few beers and am trying to find one that is wheat free part of my gluten free diet; however the calories are always higher than lets say Miller Light that I drink only because its 90 calories or less.
Any suggestions regarding a little drink here and there?
Lrn
February 26, 2014 at 6:19 amIs this really works? It seems like an advertisement campaign for Bragg ACV
Nava
February 26, 2014 at 7:09 amLrn, VegKitchen doesn’t receive any advertising dollars from Bragg. This is an excerpt from a book on the health benefits of ACV. Like all weight loss plans, this works for some people but not others, and depends on consistency and other factors, but from some of the comments posted here, it seems it does work well for some people. Either way, organic raw ACV does have other health benefits and is inexpensive, so there’s not much to lose by trying.
martha lucas
February 26, 2014 at 10:30 pmI have the following question, I am on H202 (35% food grade), therapy for cirrhosis, I have to drink that (diluted) on an empty stomach, when do I drink the A C V in relation to the food and H202. I have a few issues, gluten allergy, corn allergy,overweight, much arthritis due to back surgery, no gallbladder, etc. H202 therapy helps all of the issues, but Apple cider vinegar is needed to restore my intestinal flora. any suggestions any one……… anxious in Montreal.
Nava
February 27, 2014 at 8:11 amMartha, your question is an important one but it is too medical in nature for us to answer. You would do well to consult a Registered Dietician in your area. Good luck!

February 28, 2014 at 7:52 pmIs trader joe’s organic pasteurized unfiltered acv as good as the braggs? Is the difference the raw?
Eunice
March 1, 2014 at 6:31 amcan you use Anchor white Malt vinegar as well or no
Nava
March 1, 2014 at 7:59 amI think this method is only for raw organic ACV.
barbara
March 2, 2014 at 3:20 amCan I use Raspberry ketone and acv together for weight loss? Any adverse side effectv
J Nichols
March 2, 2014 at 10:36 amI’ve definitely heard about the benefits of apple vinegar for weight loss. Great tip at the end of making it part of your daily routine taken with water. Do you have any other organic weight suggestions you can share or write about in a future post?
Jewell
March 2, 2014 at 2:20 pmwas on bed rest for 8months, then had a c-section, as a result of laying down for so long I put on soo much weight, but thanks to Braggs ACV I moved from 100 kg to 70kg. Its being instrumental in my candida issues as well.
amy
March 2, 2014 at 7:46 pmMy mom recommended this to me. Her sister lost 30 pounds back in the 1950s just by drinking 2 tablespoons of vinegar with water twice a day. No diet changes or exercise. Well I started 1.5 weeks ago. Couldn’t handle the 2 tablespoons so went down to 1 tablespoon twice a day. I am down 4 pounds. Cleaned up my diet a bit but in the past when I would not have seen such a big loss. The biggest change I have seen is cravings for sugar. Its easy to say no to cake and junk. My appetite is definitely down. I started with white distilled and switched to ACV.
rachel sumlin
March 3, 2014 at 11:05 amI have been taking antidepressants and have put on a lot of weight will acv help me loose weight and will it interact with my meds?????
Nava
March 3, 2014 at 11:07 amRachel, a lot of people have commented on this post that ACV has been helpful in weight loss. However, we at VegKitchen aren’t qualified to say whether it will interact with your meds. Please ask your practitioner, or a qualified Registered Dietician. And good luck!

March 6, 2014 at 9:31 pmhow much acv do you have to take a day? and
do you have to have an exercise plan?
Nava
March 6, 2014 at 9:37 pmShasha, near the end of this article, it recommends: 1 to 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar + 1 glass of water – Drink before meals 3 times a day. and of course, if you’re trying to lose weight, exercise is a must!

vineshree south africa
March 10, 2014 at 11:21 pmHello I’ve also recently started using safari apple cider vinegar, its fermented. I take two tablespoon of it to boiled water and one tablespoon honey in it. I just started on sunday. Is this a good combination nava? Will this way help me?
Nava
March 12, 2014 at 1:39 pm1 tablespoon of honey is 64 calories — not terrible, but you might want to try doing 1 T vinegar at at a time — 2 tablespoons may be too much, and then cutting the honey to 1 tsp. Or, if you have access to stevia, that’s a natural sweetener with no calories at all.
Monique
March 11, 2014 at 12:43 amI don’t have the luxury of being able to workout. Can I still take this and not workout at all? My goal is to lose about 30lbs.
Nava
March 12, 2014 at 1:37 pmMonique, it won’t hurt to try this, but some exercise —even walking —is always helpful. For weight maintenance, it’s still a matter of calories and calories out. Even if you can’t join a gym to do workouts, you can stretch and do weights while watching movies or TV at home; and just find as many ways as you can to do extra walking.
Marguerite Hubbard
March 12, 2014 at 1:33 pmI am taking apple cider vinegar with water and adding a packet of Stevia (a natural sweetener).
It is really delicious! I am hoping to lose
10 lbs over the course of three months! So
far, I feel much less “sugar craving.” That
helps the weight loss experience a whole lot!
Nava
March 12, 2014 at 1:34 pmThat’s a good tip, Marguerite. Stevia also comes in liquid drops, and a little goes a very long way … natural sweetening with no added calories.

Nava
March 14, 2014 at 11:16 amRay, this article explains how ACV makes our bodies more alkaline: http://thehealthyeatingsite.com/benefits-of-apple-cider-vinegar/ — which is the optimal state for health. Hope that helps!

March 26, 2014 at 12:02 amI have never posted a review on any website before but feel compelled to do so here. I was having gallbladder issues and started taking Braggs ACV daily in the morning with some apple juice in November 2013.. It is now march 2014 no gallbladder pain, over 25lbs lost and feel better than I have in years. I will forever take this daily.
Nava
March 28, 2014 at 9:24 amMicki, that’s amazing. Thanks for your comment, and I hope you continue to feel good!
Palmer
March 28, 2014 at 4:45 pmI searched for Braggs because my child woke up with a tingling in his scalp then the hair there fell out. I dabbed the area with acv in an effort to keep the hair follicles clean so his hair can grow back. I have since started drinking 2 tablespoons in 8oz of water. I did it twice the other day, 3x’s yesterday and once so far today. Aiming for 3x’s a day for inflammation and wight management. I must admit I am feeling very energetic. Hmm, could this be the acv?

March 30, 2014 at 10:39 pmI have trouble digesting apples so i’ve been told not to use unfiltered acv. do you think that filtered acv would have the same effects? thanks!
Nava
March 30, 2014 at 11:17 pmFaye, that’s a very specific question to which we have no answer. However, it’s assumed that this method works best with the raw Bragg’s type of ACV.

March 31, 2014 at 11:18 amGuys, apple cider will help u lose a lot of weight. Eat less than 1000 calories a day(1500 MAX), walk 30 minutes a day, chop a cucumber into slices and pour apple cider all over these slices. Lost 2.2 pounds in 1 day
Mark
April 1, 2014 at 2:33 pmCan I drink the Braggs ACV straight for better results?
Nava
April 1, 2014 at 2:42 pmMark, not a good idea. the ACV is very hard on your tooth enamel. Taking it in water is better overall for your stomach, too.

April 2, 2014 at 9:04 amI just started on my ACV journey 3 days ago, my body has never been healthier and it literally cleared my colon, I feel so much lighter! This blog here is helping me lose weight: http://triggerbody.com
Kathy
April 3, 2014 at 10:11 amI’m taking 2 tsp, 3x a day. I mix mine with green iced tea–much better tasting than mixing it w/ plain water! I also have been on the Metabolism Miracle plan. Only two weeks out, lost about 3 pounds. I hope this works.
Mrs Keisha Hughes
April 4, 2014 at 7:29 pmIs it okay to drink it with Apple Juice. I’m just starting my ACV Braggs journey. Can I add it to my applesauce as well? I’m looking for ways to incorporate it into my diet. All suggestions are welcomed.

Laurie
April 13, 2014 at 6:54 pmWill Apple cider vinegar pills work? Over the summer, I was taking Nature’s Way ACV supplement pills 3xday. I just heard about Bragg ACV and it dawned on me, that I seemed to have more energy last summer and I did lose a few pounds. Not sure if it is just a coincidence or if it was the pills. Do you know?
Nava
April 13, 2014 at 10:56 pmThat’s a good question, Laurie, but one to which I don’t know the answer. It’s possible though, or maybe it was the fact that most of us feel better and are more active in the warmer months! In general, I think it’s best to use the actual ACV if convenient for you.

Katy
April 17, 2014 at 10:40 amThe key word is “Help” you lose weight. I think some people might be under the impression that if you start drinking ACV the pounds will just fall off, unfortunately it’s not that easy. It’s great for suppressing your appetite though. If anyone’s looking for a diet program that works, here is the one I follow, I love it: http://www.FLFactor.pw

April 18, 2014 at 4:22 amHello. I have been using ACV in an 8oz glass of water with fresh lemon juice and pure honey three x a day. I have noticed in one month all my food taste much better. I love fruit and veggies and ACV enhances the great taste. I work out more as a result of feeling better about body. In one one month I can notice a flatter stomach.
Shirley
April 18, 2014 at 2:19 pmHi to everyone 😉
I saw a earlier post about eating 3 meals a day and take the apple cider in water and drink with your meal. My problem is I do not eat 3 meals a day. I only eat two and at sometimes one. Can I still take it three times a day?
Thank-you
Bryan Horton
April 18, 2014 at 11:59 pmI have been taking 1tablespoon of acv, 1tablespoon of lemon juice, and 1tablespoon of raw honey in 8oz of water 3x a day. I started on January 15th and on April 1st I have lost 25 lbs!! But I watch my calories and eat better than I did before.
Nava
April 21, 2014 at 10:21 pmThat’s amazing, Bryan. And you’re right that it takes more than just the ACV; good habits are important, too.

Nava
April 21, 2014 at 9:32 pmTami, you can get this brand at most any natural foods store, and places like Whole Foods. Not sure about Trader Joe’s, but that’s another possibility. You can also order from Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/asin/B001AIWAAE/vegkitchenblog-20

Rose
April 23, 2014 at 3:12 amWas told about Braggs ACV several weeks ago. Purchased it two days after hearing about it and love it. Take upon rising with organic honey and room temp water and a squeeze of lemon. It’s rare I get it more than once a day but I’ve noticed my abdomen is flatter. In addition, when I can do my stretches (have sciatica problem) find I’m not as sore.

April 23, 2014 at 3:57 pmI have been trying to lose weight for a number of months an nothing seems to work I have tried watching what I eat and eating healthier.. I started to excercise but nothing works and I’m busy during the day chasing two little kids and two dogs around while cleaning the house. I am going to try this and I really hope it works I’ll comment in a month and let everyone know how I’m doing.
Donna
April 23, 2014 at 5:15 pmYou can buy ACV at any Kroger it’s sold in the Organic section…so you might want to try the organic isle of your local grocery store and the raw honey too. (I bought a 32 oz bottle today for $4.99 it was on sale).
sana
April 24, 2014 at 1:05 pmI didn’t get Bragg apple cider vinegar; I got American Garden Natural Apple Cider Vinegar. Shall I use it to lose weight? Please reply.
Nava
April 24, 2014 at 1:09 pmSana, it looks like this brand also has enzymes and is naturally fermented, and if so, it should work.
Katherine
April 24, 2014 at 1:33 pmFor those who hate the taste of Apple Cider Vinegar, try mixing it with orange juice, it works wonders. 🙂
Also, I have to agree with others. ACV isn’t a weight loss miracle. That’s not to say it doesn’t work, just try not to set unrealistic expectations.
You’ll see the very best results if you take ACV alongside a solid diet plan. If you’re unsure about the diet side of things, I’m also a massive fan of: http://www.FLFactor.pw
Good luck people! I’m about to have my ACV and orange juice now 🙂
Dan B
April 28, 2014 at 3:50 pmI drink Bragg’s ACV straight from the bottle 2 – 3 times a day (then drink water to chase it). I have done this for a long time and have had no issues with my tooth enamel. Drinking water right after drinking it straight is necessary though.
I am already in pretty good shape, but I use it to reduce the acidity level in my body and for cutting body fat. It’s fantastic and works very well. I highly recommend adding it to your diet.
Katy
April 28, 2014 at 11:19 pmAgreed Dan, plus if you’re that worried about your tooth enamel you can always drink it through a straw. 🙂
@Monique – If your goal is to lose 30 pounds you need to focus on your diet. ACV is amazing stuff but it isn’t a miracle unfortunately!
As I said in my previous comment, here is the diet program I follow, It’s fantastic: http://www.FLFactor.pw

April 30, 2014 at 5:03 amDoes it hve to be Bragg acv or any brand of acv
Nava
April 30, 2014 at 8:35 amMay, it needs to be a naturally fermented brand. But not the kind of ACV generally sold in supermarkets.

May 5, 2014 at 5:41 pmYou can get the Bragg at many health food stores. The apple cider vinegar will work, I have to mix it with water… otherwise some of us who can’t drink it straight will gag – I recommend not to do that. The apple cider vinegar with ‘mother’ in it and chunks of stuff is strongest and one can even find it at some Walmart stores, but if one is on a budget regular apple cider vinegar is OK.

May 12, 2014 at 11:37 amCan acv hlp me reduce my hips? Someone recommended it and am starting it. My problem is my hips — kinda getting so wide.
Marbel
May 14, 2014 at 3:22 amHi, does anyone know of the acv from trader joes works just fine? It’s unfiltered… I’m currently drinking this one and I want to make sure it works just fine. It has a very strong taste. I did a lot of research and the best way to take it is with either grapefruit or cranberry juice 8oz of juice and 2 teaspoons of acv and mix them together, take it before bed or before your dinner. And it helps reduce heart problems, weight loss, diabetes. Etc.
Nava
May 15, 2014 at 10:01 amMarbel, as long as it’s naturally fermented (and contains the “mother,” as that cloudy thing is called), it should do the trick. I’m not specifically familiar with the Trader Joe’s brand.

May 15, 2014 at 8:36 pmI am a GERD patient….someone told me to drink apple cider vinegar if i want to get rid of acid re-flux forever…is that true???
Misty R. Bernal
May 16, 2014 at 4:16 amwhich is better apple cider vinegar or just pure apple? Because my cousin is only eating apple during snacks, she already quit junk foods and as what I see she reduce weight by it. But I’ll try this apple cider vinegar too. Thank anyway.
Katie
May 16, 2014 at 5:16 amI was having uncontrolled burping after meals for years. Nothing the doctor perscribed worked – they hear burping and assume it’s GERD and too much stomach acid. I did my own research, and learned that many people over 50 have LESS stomach acid than they need for proper digestion. I drank 1-2 teaspoons of ACV with water before dinner for a few weeks, and I went from burping 200 times after a meal to two or three times. I stopped the ACV and am still doing great! Sometimes it’s not an antacid we need, but more acid!
Charlene
May 17, 2014 at 9:52 pmi have recently started drinking apple cider vinegar mainly for weight loss balance. i have to say it aint the best tasting. i have paurchased the wescobee brand. Is this any good?
goji actives
May 20, 2014 at 12:44 pmYep! Like others, usually about 1-2 pounds :/ ….. But then comes right back off .. I put it down to water retention and … possibly eat some things like chocolate …. lol .. All within my calories * of course * .. but sugar does not help!
jane
May 20, 2014 at 8:07 pmI just started ACV a couple of weeks ago. I do feel like it has given me more energy, but don’t know about any weight loss. Should I follow a certain diet with the ACV?
Sharon Dunn
May 21, 2014 at 11:31 amworking on the AVC. Im a diabetic. Praying this will lower my blood sugars.
raja
May 23, 2014 at 10:25 pmHow do I mix the acv — in hot water or normal water??
Nava
May 23, 2014 at 10:55 pmWarm,cold, or room temperature, as you prefer.
Elaine James
May 28, 2014 at 10:54 amI need to lose 12 pounds to get down to my target weight. I have been on a protein shake diet for about 4 months. I had hoped that the protein shakes would help me to lose the weight, unfortunately, that has not been the case. I am going to continue to drink the protein shakes at least two meals per day but drink the Bragg’s unfiltered, raw apple cider vinegar and hopefully the weight will at least slowly come off.
Elaine James
May 28, 2014 at 11:38 amI just wanted to let Katherine know that the website that she mentioned (www.FLFactor.pw) has been blocked.
Elaine James
May 28, 2014 at 5:37 pmMarilyn, how long did it take your friend to lose 200 pounds?
Yes, you have to acquire a taste for the Apple Cider Vinegar. I began drinking the ACV diluted with water two days ago, 30 minutes before each meal. I don’t expect any result yet but I hope to in a month or so. I currently weight 122.2 pounds and I want to get back to 110 pounds.
I wish you LOTS of success, Marilyn!!
Katherine
May 28, 2014 at 5:49 pmHey Elaine, the website works fine for me, what does it say on your end? Anyway, good luck with your weight loss goal, 12 pounds is definitely do-able with ACV. I look forward to hearing your success story!
Marci
May 29, 2014 at 1:40 pmDo Apple Cider Vinegar pills work. I took them a few months ago and noticed a weight loss. This was before I heard anything about Braggs. I was also taking a couple of other supplements so I’m not really sure it was the vinegar. If so, it would be much easier to stomach.
Renee
June 1, 2014 at 11:55 amI love drink Apple C.V. just found the Bragg it was in Target were I work at I mix grapefruit juice and honey some time I am work out to I can get back in to some of my size 9,Do not give u
Diane Wilson
June 1, 2014 at 1:54 pmI first used vinegar to drop 10 pounds after having my first baby 29 years ago and have been using it ever since. The first time I used plain clear vinegar and in 3 weeks may clothes started getting looser every day. After the 2nd baby I used apple cider vinegar and got identical results. I had never heard of Bragg Brand, and I have used every cheap and expensive brand in the book, THEY ALL WORK VERY WELL !!! I use it with any drink I have in the house and with whatever sweetener I have in the house at the time – water, ANY juice you can name, kool-aide, lemon-aide, tea, etc. I have improved the taste with honey,agave, sugar, and salt. I have used it just before meals, during, and after meals, NO MATTER WHEN,HOW, OR WHAT KIND YOU USE IT ALWAYS WORKS !
However: I am about to give vinegar the test of its’ life. Now I am in perimenopause which has turned me into a greedy, bottomless pit, and the weight is coming on LIKE NEVER BEFORE because I am eating 24/7 and I CAN NOT CONTROL MY APPETITE ! I have gained 10 pounds in just 2 months AND COUNTING. I am about to find out if vinegar works against menopausal weight gain and its’ 100% appetite control loss. For me this will really define if my true reliable friend vinegar is the heaviest hitter of all weight loss aides like I hope it is. You’ve done me proud for 29 years vinegar, please don ‘t let me down now when i need you the most.
Will post an update in about 5-6 months.
Denise
June 2, 2014 at 9:43 amI am a 44 year old woman,150lbs,5`1″.Yesterday,one of my Facebook friends posted Bragg ACV. I went & purchased it a local Winn Dixie near my house.I’m looking forward to some results before my vacation in August. Hopefully, soon I’ll be able to post my results. Thanks everyone for your comments, you have prove to me that I can do this.

June 3, 2014 at 8:09 pmDamn. I want to lose weight SO bad, but not enough to endure THAT taste every day! Dear God, that’ll make you bulimic!
Chesca
June 6, 2014 at 6:19 amhi… I cant find any Braggs ACV in the country im working now. I only saw and bought Freshly Brand made from USA though. Will it have the same effect as Braggs? seriously my weight is annoying. I am almost 200 lbs. I badly want to lose weight. I’ve tried eating salad with the above acv brand. still waiting to lose some weight. really need some advise… honestly im losing my self confidence… ;(
Nava
June 6, 2014 at 8:38 pmChesca, the important factor is that the ACV is naturally fermented and organic. We’re not familiar with the Freshly brand, but if it has those two features, it should be fine.
Virgil
June 7, 2014 at 2:35 pmMy blood pressure was 150 over 90 now it is 127 over 70 helps a lot I love it ty braggs .
Kim Saxton
June 7, 2014 at 8:08 pmDiane Wilson – I am having the exact same problem. How is it going so far?? Just starting the ACV Braggs today.
Lacy
June 8, 2014 at 4:23 amIf you can’t find apple cider vinegar, pickle juice will work just as well. I drink an ounce once a day.

June 9, 2014 at 2:57 pmI live in a caribbean country called Trinidad and Tobago..I just had my daughter who is now 10 months old..I’m only 22years old and I’m dying to lose this belly weight..I only have the regular vinegar I saw in the comments that someone used it n saw results 😉 so I’m crossing my fingers..would msg again in a month to let you know if I see results.
Allie
June 9, 2014 at 8:24 pmI lost 7 lbs my first week. 4lbs in week two and 6lbs last week! It is not water weight either it is belly fat because my jeans keep falling off.
This is my fourth week of trying the Lady Soma Detox – After seeing this on Dr. Oz I figured I had to try it and I glad I did.
derek simmons
June 10, 2014 at 12:24 ami just bought a bottle from shop rite, and am going to start drinking asap..thanks for this info
Dee
June 10, 2014 at 9:58 pmMost Health food stores has BRAGG and it can also be ordered online. The regular white vinegar works too. I have lost 25 pounds in the last 1 1/2 months without working out, but from cutting back. What works for me is eating salads mixed with any baked meat or none at all. Grapefruits, blueberries, bananas or any fruit. Water is the key. Want more info, e-mail me at [email protected]
Dee
June 10, 2014 at 10:21 pmJust an addition, I don’t just eat salads, but broccoli, baked chicken salmon and beans. Just stay away from sugar. I still eat ice cream, cookies,pizza and whatever else at least every 3 weeks, IF I want it and I have not gained anything back. Now it is time for me to be strict and drop the weight faster. Main focus fruits and veggies. You will see notice the pounds shedding. Good Luck to everyone on the weightloss journey. Stay focus.

June 11, 2014 at 2:06 amI just bought ACV yesterday however it is the American Garden brand.. It only says Natural Vinegar.. Will this work too?
Nava
June 11, 2014 at 9:07 pmI’m not familiar with American Garden brands; it should say raw and organic to work optimally, which is true for Bragg’s.
june
June 11, 2014 at 10:48 pmI have been taken ACV for a month now. I definitely do feel more energized, but I have not lost any weight, any advice would be welcomed.
Naftali Greenwood
June 12, 2014 at 7:41 amWhen I did a teaching unit about ACV years ago, I read that ACV had anti-allergenic properties if it was locally produced. Is there scientific evidence for this?
Nava
June 12, 2014 at 8:46 amNaftali, I’ve never heard this claim, but it sounds pretty suspect to me. Very little ACV could be locally produced, as there are relatively few regions hospitable to growing apples in the first place and even fewer for growing organic apples.
Arnold
June 13, 2014 at 12:17 pmJune, if you are drinking drink a glass of water with 1 or 2 tablespoons of ACV before your meals, the insoluble fiber in ACV should help you feel full with less food.
The fiber should also decrease the likelihood of binging on un-healthy foods between meals.

Tracy
June 13, 2014 at 12:33 pmHow about Heinz acv? It is all I can find.
Nava
June 13, 2014 at 2:53 pmTracy, that wouldn’t be ideal. A raw, organic and naturally fermented ACV is what’s needed. You can find those at any natural foods store, even large supermarkets, and online sources including Amazon.com.
Alina
June 13, 2014 at 2:03 pmIn Mexico you can find Bragg´s at GNC stores, maybe that could be the case in other countries as well.
Dekula
June 14, 2014 at 5:41 pmI need to lose about 30lbs. I am 78 years old and after 7 children, never had the problem of losing the weight, until now. My husband passed away 7 years ago, and I have continually been gaining weight since I am not as active as I was. I bought acv (Heinz) for another reason just this past week, but I will try and use it as a way of losing the lbs. Hope it works. Will let you know.
Nava
June 15, 2014 at 4:31 pmDekula, you’d do better to uses an ACV like Bragg — organic, raw. That’s part of its weight-loss ability, as it aids digestion.
Ashley
June 16, 2014 at 9:14 amI agree with Nava, make sure you buy raw, organic ACV because this has the mother of the vinegar. (Very good for you)
Also, if your goal is to lose weight, the most important part is to focus on your diet. ACV is amazing stuff for your health but it wont work miracles in terms of losing weight.
I highly recommend the weight loss guide at: http://www.TheVenusGuide.com – It’s designed specifically for women and works very well.
Good luck Dekula.
Lesley
June 17, 2014 at 8:00 amMe too. I bought Heinz. Hmmmm is it bad?
Nava
June 17, 2014 at 11:51 amLesley, I agree with the commenters who say that it’s important to use a raw, organic ACV for best results. Even if weight loss isn’t your goal, it’s that type that confers the greatest health benefits.
Anne
June 17, 2014 at 9:29 pmI normally use Bragg or similar organic, raw ACV, but guess what? Heinz has now brought out an all-natural, raw, unfiltered ACV! I just bought a large bottle, and it’s much less expensive than Bragg’s, and is loaded with the “mother.” So far, so good….
Nava
June 17, 2014 at 10:19 pmThat’s really good info, Anne. Thanks for sharing!
Sharon
June 19, 2014 at 7:40 amI have seen the Heinz, but with the pesticide level of apples, I still buy the organic
Nava
June 19, 2014 at 11:35 amThat’s a really good point, Sharon.

June 20, 2014 at 11:16 amHi am 23 I have about 195 pound I use apple cider vinegar tablet to loose weight I don’t have a appitte at all I use warm water n lime juicy and take the tablet 3 times daily I don’t eat for and entire day only at nite I force myself to eat something I get cramps n pain ever since I started to use the tablet are these normal behavior or is it somethg I should worry about ?
orvny
June 21, 2014 at 2:03 amVictoria,
If you’re eating only at night and starving all day, your body is not getting fuel. You’re using your muscles to get energy and that ‘s why you’re having cramps. You have to eat when your hungry and that means your body needs fuel. Starving yourself will get you fatter sooner or later.
betha
June 21, 2014 at 12:02 pmHi,
Is it safe to keep the mixture of ACV water all day and drink it before meals? I work on a field and it’s hard for me to make the ACV water everytime i want to eat..
Thanks.
Nava
June 21, 2014 at 12:32 pmBetha, I would think this kind of mixture would keep well, as Bragg ACV is fermented. You might like to keep it cool and fresh in a thermos-like container in any case, with a little ice. It would be more refreshing like that on warm days!
Adam
June 24, 2014 at 10:45 amTo the nay-sayers….I’ve been using Heinz “Raw Unfiltered ACV” from the Grocery store now, 6 months and have had good success using it….now don’t get me wrong, I’m still working out almost daily (4-6 days a week…..at least 45 minutes of high intensity cardio on the elliptical…..and then an hour or so of weight lifting, high reps, low weight) and thus far I’ve lost 79 lbs…..
Adam
June 24, 2014 at 11:21 amanother note…..I’ve noticed, the more I use the ACV…..the less “nasty” it tastes….and I’ve heard of this before…..something to do with the body “alkalyzing” or something…..the body grows to “accept” the taste…..so yea, I typically take my 1 tbsp. with 8 oz. of water…..first thing in the morning. and ya at first I nearly spit it out…..but now I take it like a champ…..
The only thing I can’t figure, is how these “ACV Diet Pills” work…..hoow they manage to get a liquid into a powder tablet form…..don’t make sense to me…..

Ericka
June 27, 2014 at 1:12 pmI am using the Braggs ACV by adding it to water, adding honey and heating up to drink like tea. This is working for me but will this process take away any of the benefits of just adding it to water? When I prepare it this way, I can consume more than just 2 tablespoons at a time.

July 2, 2014 at 10:41 amI just started this diet this morning. I read another review where the woman used apple juice instead of the water. (For the taste) And it takes basically like apple juice. She lost 10 pounds in the first WEEK! and lost 40lbs total. I am excited to see the results!
Shivana
July 5, 2014 at 8:50 pmSo even though I want to lose 10pounds easily I would gain it back fast…..?? If I use the Apple cider vinegar ?

July 7, 2014 at 3:50 amI live in Italy, and complaing to my daughter, that 4 of my fingers were painful and the bone was over sized.
She suggested bragg, now taking faithfully, after I noticed that the pain was gone and the bone size reduced to almost normal. I have past this information to lots of Amercan and Italian friends. Plus I lost 7lb.
Thank you for this great product.

July 8, 2014 at 4:32 pmI am just checking…On another site it says not to take ACV daily or on a regular basis as it can lead to lowering potassium levels and bone density…Is this correct ??

July 9, 2014 at 8:33 amIs Nature First Organic Apple cider Vinegar is good for losing wieght?

July 9, 2014 at 9:43 amTracy, we’re not familiar with Nature First, but if it’s fermented and raw (and preferably organic), it should be good.

Wendy
July 15, 2014 at 1:35 amI inconsistently would take a tablespoon of ACV with the mother (braggs and Heinz with the mother, organic) and then I finally took it for a week straight. I notice my skin is nice and I went from 184 to 175 in a week. I still eat but I’m hardly hungry. I eat enough calories to keep my body from going into starvation mode. Now if I can get to 160 I would be in my normal range for my height. I was wearing a very tight size 8 and now my pants arent tight anymore. I also haven’t had to take any water pills. I think the ACV acts as a diuretic as well.

July 16, 2014 at 9:09 amI’m doing the apple vinager , 100% honey! lemon juice, and cimmon in a 12 oz glass every morning… Should I be doing this 3 times a day ? And can this hurt you ?
Anastasia
July 18, 2014 at 10:32 pmHeinz DOES have an organic ACV that contains the mother … it’s a pretty good product. Braggs is not always available where I am, so it’s a good alternative.
Keys
July 19, 2014 at 1:30 pmI started ACV by Braggs about a week ago. It actually helps me with the bloating I was feeling, I eat smaller meals, and my skin is clearing up.. I haven’t weighted myself and don’t plan on it for about another week but I noticed my clothes don’t fit as tight as they did before( its only been a week) I’m praying this works because no matter how many crunches I do this stomach won’t leave me in peace..

July 21, 2014 at 7:05 amI’ve been doing the apple cider vinegar diet for a week and a half now plus I walk daily I have lost 6 lbs already my question is a friend said that it will hurt you really bad a lower potassium she said that it could kill you is this true?? I am happy with my results so far and my appetite has cut but a lot!!!!
jujubean
July 21, 2014 at 4:05 pmThe only vinegar anyone should be drinking is Braggs or very similar AND you always , always should dilute it with water- preferably. You will get sick from drinki g white, red, rice vinegar. You need to make sure you you dilute or you will end up with mouth, throat burns/sores an upset stomach and take the enanmal off your teeth. If you are going to advocate apple cider vinegar You MUST clarify that it is only real, apple cider vinegar – Braggs or the equivalent AND that to drink it you MUST dilute it. Be thorough with your information!

July 24, 2014 at 2:27 amTwo years before my husband bought ACV and informed me that acv is very good for health. every time my hubby, me and my kids will close our nose because of the bad smell. I have bad dandruff problem, my hubby suggested to apply acv, so I took his advice and applied to my scalp. Amazing, now I don’t have a dandruff problem. Last two weeks I try to drink acv, because I want to lose weight. First, I was scared because I have gastric problem. But after I took it I don’t any gastric pain. I want to try to take acv to reduce my weight.

July 30, 2014 at 11:13 pmIs great value apple cider vinegar okay…….
KDM
August 3, 2014 at 7:46 pmI take 3 teaspoons before every meal and I just utilize the regular apple cider vinegar bought from food lion and it just has apples, and distilled water (made from the juice of apples) I’m assuming although not organic; it’s totally fine. I don’t dilute it because I actually enjoy the taste and there is no burning sensations whatsoever. I’m assuming regardless of not diluting nor getting organic; it’s just the same and has the same effects??
chad
August 18, 2014 at 1:08 amI have had Crones for over 15 years. I have not found anything that really works. I just started taking Braggs a few weeks ago. I have only had maybe 2 days that my stomach and intestines have bothered me very bad. I try to do it at least 3 times a day.I take room temp. water that is filtered 2 tbs of vinegar. It took me a little bit to work up to it and 1 tbs organic real maple syrup and mix it real good and just take it as a shot. It has helped my stomach and intestine IMMENSELY. I am now going to start using it for a toner for my face. The taste is not the best thing but that’s why I just do the shot and get it over with. I also was around 204lbs and I am down to 194. It definitely works for loosing weight and keeping your stomach in check. It also helps with hangovers.
Nava
August 18, 2014 at 7:36 amI’m glad this is working so well for you, Chad, but I’m not sure doing a shot is the best thing, as it could be really hard on your teeth and stomach, unless you brush immediately afterwards, and chase it with water.
Jennifer
August 20, 2014 at 10:43 amAre you saying that the regular ACV will not do what the organic or Bragg will do ?
Nava
August 20, 2014 at 10:48 amJennifer, that is correct. It really should ideally be raw and fermented. There may be brands other than Bragg. However, we are not qualified to say whether it is appropriate for other conditions such as those you asked about it your next comment. Good luck!
Jennifer
August 20, 2014 at 10:46 amCab you tell me off this will help with any other problems like headaches, diabetes,asthma, or high blood pressures. Just asking

August 24, 2014 at 7:26 amThank you very much for the information. I was weighing 98kgs my younger sister introduced me to acv. Just 2 weeks now and I’ve lost 5 kgs already.I am using Wellington or heinz but I’ve asked my hubby to buy brags on amazon for me. Am from Ghana.
Leanna
August 26, 2014 at 6:37 pmIt’s very important to buy organic ACV because this is what contains the mother. There are plenty of good brands out there but Bragg is the most reputable.
I’ve taken ACV for years simply for the health benefits and the boost of energy it gives me. In terms of weight loss, don’t expect miracles. I find that it suppresses my appetite slightly so I guess it helps in that sense.
Katy, if your goal is to lose weight, I follow the program at: http://www.VenusProgram.us and I’ve had really good results.
Hope this helps!

Nava
September 20, 2014 at 10:00 pmanum, I wouldn’t have any idea where to get the right kind of ACV in Karachi, but the only kind that has benefits is the raw variety like Bragg. You might try searching online. Good luck!
Janai
September 22, 2014 at 4:59 pmthat was my next question, how much should u consume before each meal? Does it have to be bare or can you mix it with juice? Thanks in advance
Nava
September 22, 2014 at 9:46 pmJanai, it’s best not to take it straight. Hard on the teeth and stomach! As the article states, mix 2 teaspoons or so in a cup of water or other liquid before each meal.

September 24, 2014 at 11:34 pmTaking ACV first thing in morning, how long should I wait to have breakfast ?
Nava
September 25, 2014 at 9:00 amGenerally, it’s about 30 minutes. Thats a very intense thing to do first thing in the morning!

September 25, 2014 at 5:08 pmI recently bought American Garden ACV, does it really works like other brands because in my opinion it was too cheap?
David Leckrone
September 27, 2014 at 9:00 amIn the 1960’s I read a book about ACV and have used it off and on since then. I never have heartburn and recommend it for others.

October 9, 2014 at 11:05 amSo can vinegar take the place of my probiotics or can i take both?
Nava
October 9, 2014 at 11:45 amIt probably wouldn’t hurt to do both, especially if either are done inconsistently.

October 9, 2014 at 1:16 pmHi – I used ACV for a while on and off; its really good, and makes your skin the prettiest. It makes it glow – I love it. It gives me energy also.

October 10, 2014 at 3:26 pmHow much vinegar to take for weight loss and energy? How to take it for water weight?
Deirdra Doan
October 12, 2014 at 12:35 pmI have found it helps keep the weight I have lost from coming back on! I also crave it. I use to not be able to take it. My body would become acid. Very weird but I am changed now with way better health through natural things like homeopathy and Vegan diet and maybe it was trying to help me but I was too messed up.
Anyway I love to use it as a treat as well by adding it to Sparkling water with stevia or honey and ice…yum..and helps me not go eat something like cake..ha when I want a treat.

October 15, 2014 at 4:23 pmI’ve bn drinking Braggs for a week now but I take it after meals and my dose was 2tablespoon with a glass of water twice daily. I just learnt the correct dose but I want to know if this may create any side effects for me.

October 17, 2014 at 1:21 pmwithout knowing the correct information I have bought some filtered apple cider vinegar bottles.. if I use that filtered one will it give the same result of unfiltered one… shall I use that or not please reply me.

T Ohar
October 29, 2014 at 2:50 pmI’ve been drinking acv morning and night for about a year and a half now and I’m a believer. I used to get sick (common cold) often.. Like a few times a year since I was little (37 now) and I haven’t been sick one since I began drinking acv.
I’ve also used it (rarely) as a conditioner on my hair after shampooing and it works similarly. It leaves my hair feeling more smooth but maybe just slightly less than conditioner.
I’ve used it on my face (BE SURE TO DILUTE IT!!!) after washing for acne.. Not sure if it helped much but others have said it did for them.
I have definitely noticed a suppression of my appetite and boost of energy as well. In fact, I stopped drinking coffee thanks to the healthy energy boost (although I didn’t drink tons of coffee normally).
I normally mix in a couple tablespoons with a full glass of apple or orange juice.. It does make it a little more tart, but not sour tasting. I actually enjoy it. If it’s too strong.. Add more juice or use a tad less acv. This winter I plan on trying it in a cup of hot apple cider.
Whichever brand you go with, (I too use Braggs), be sure that it contains “the mother”. This is the most important part and is the crucial strand for health benefits.
Oh and.. Brushing your teeth after is probably a good idea to stop the extra acid from slowly eating away at the enamel on your teeth.
T
October 29, 2014 at 2:53 pmOh and almost forgot.. Warm water with a bit of honey really seems to take most of the harsh taste away if you’re having issues with it.
Nava
October 29, 2014 at 4:58 pm… or agave or maple syrup or stevia … thanks for all of your input!

HELP
November 11, 2014 at 8:52 pmAn FWI…I put three cotton circles on my feet with straight apple cyder vineger several months ago and fell asleep with them on. trying to rid two warts one on each foot. Didn’t work I still have the warts! Any idea how to remove them? 🙁 also
My chiropractor tough me about ginger baths. 1 cup ginger 1 cup apple cyder vineger and 3/4 cup chopped ginger to bath. used for 2 1/2 to 3 weeks daily at times twice a day. She says its completely safe but i think it really dried my skin out. Was for sore muscles but i kept getting sicker and sicker so i had completely stopped them all together. Anyone ever do these baths like this? Have any problems from it? Its suppose to be a great detox. I smelled forever really bad smell. I still smell but not as bad as was. What can I do for my skin since its so dried out? thank you!!

Linda
December 16, 2014 at 7:23 pmCan I take apple cider tablets or does it have to be liquid form? I just can’t stand the taste!
Also, does it really help you lose weight? Thanks in advance!
Caroline
December 16, 2014 at 7:51 pmLinda, if you want the full benefits it has to be the organic liquid form apple cider vinegar. If you don’t like the taste, try mixing it with orange juice. I find that it really helps! 🙂
To your second question “Does it help you lose weight?” The answer is yes and no. It helps in the sense that it suppresses your appetite and prevents cravings. However, it wont magically burn away fat I’m afraid. (Wouldn’t that be great!)
If your goal is to lose weight, I highly recommend the Venus Factor. It’s designed specifically for women and works amazingly well. You can find it at: http://www.VenusProgram.us
Hope this answers your questions Linda. Good luck!

December 21, 2014 at 8:38 amI often hear about health benefits of ACV but but I seem to have night sweats really bad and almost as if after taking for a couple of weeks that I begin to have a UTI or something of that nature (almost as if my insides are raw) just wondering if you have ever heard of anyone else having these issues or if they are just symptons of my body detoxing and I need to stick it out.
Nava
December 21, 2014 at 5:12 pmI wonder if you’re taking too much, or not diluting the ACV in plenty of water as suggested. You shouldn’t be having these symptoms!

Vern
January 7, 2015 at 12:52 amI want to lose 60 pounds. I guess I was so desperate at first where I was taken 1 to 2 teaspoons undilute acv twice a day. I thought that eating anything would not matter because the acv will burn all the fattening away. Not so. Would love the right approach.

Margot
January 9, 2015 at 7:34 pmI started using ACV after being unable to get my BP under control. It has always run approx 106/80, then for a year it was running 130’s to 150’s. I knew this wasn’t right, but when I went for my monthly check-up it was 180 over 115. Terrified me. Unfortunately this was right before Christmas and my Dr. was in a hurry to get home for his vacation. I researched a home remedy to lower it in a hurry. Not a lot of hope, but gave the AVC a try. After 4 days I felt so much better! I was amazed when at my next monthly visit my BP was it’s normal 106, and I’d lost 6 lbs…over the holiday mind you. I’ve continued to lose weight, and maintained my normal BP. I have about 35 lbs more to go and 4 more lbs gone in this last 2 weeks with no other changes in my daily routien. I may have been very deficient on some level and the AVC has benefited me far more then others. Please don’t expect my results, but I will never say not to try it. Just make sure to let your doctor know if you are on medications. I just put two caps in a extra large soda cup of ice water and drink it morning and night. It was very bitter/sour at first but now I’m used to it. Don’t run out…3 day cold turkey led me to severe diarrhea for a few days. So if you quit, do it slowly. As a side note, about half of the lbs I’m losing are actual belly fat! Yippy 🙂

January 9, 2015 at 7:47 pmI’m sorry, right b4 Thanksgiving I did this.

January 24, 2015 at 9:01 amI had a throat virus that acted like strep, but no antibiotic would help it, my throat was on fire, I mixed 2 Tsps vinegar, 2Tsps of honey,2Tsps of lemon juice in a cup of hot water drank it for a full day and it took the fire out of my throat, in the process I curbed my appetite and have lost some pds, I added a touch of cinnamon for a added bonus, it works!
Rob
January 24, 2015 at 11:18 amFound this on a website….Get the right vinegar. You don’t actually have to limit yourself to ACV, since all vinegars contain acetic acid. “Wine vinegars have a smoother taste, but even white distilled vinegar works,” says Johnston. Just look for one whose label says 5% acidity, which is what you’ll find in most cooking and salad vinegars. (Avoid pickling vinegars, which have a higher acid content.)
Jamie
January 25, 2015 at 10:40 pmJust bought the organic apple vinager and hope to see weight loss results.
Taylor Monee
January 30, 2015 at 4:04 pmI’ve been drinking acv for only a short time now and the taste was very bad for me at first. My boyfriend told me about the way his grandmother use to make it for him. He said to mix it with raw honey and warm it up. I did and it’s great. Better than ever! It took me about a day just a overnight actually to get use to the new taste and actually appreciate it. I really do like it and I hope that this helps me to stop packing on the pounds. I’ve been gaining rapidly. 20lbs in 2 years and I just left the doctor’s yesterday I’m not diabetic just too much snacking.
Charlie
February 3, 2015 at 10:30 amJust bought it as I feel the need to detox liver and kidney. Found another interesting health supplement that helped my dad http://www.purtierglobal.com After he took it, he looked very healthy but it is pricey.

February 7, 2015 at 9:53 amThe bottle has a recipe to add 2 tablespoons of vinegar & 2 tablespoons of raw organic honey to 8 oz of water it tastes just like apple cider. I only eat once a day so I don’t know if this will help me lose weight.

February 9, 2015 at 9:27 amNext to using Apple Cider Vinegar, what do you guys think about doing a very low calorie diet? I’m in doubt if I’m going to do this because I was reading about this diet on a site (http://wlzine.com/ways-how-to-lose-weight-fast/ ) but I’m not sure if the article is trustable or not and from a verified source. What do you guys think? Is a low calorie diet safe and doable? Thanks 🙂

February 11, 2015 at 7:50 amIf it’s fermented “on purpose” — like Braggs, then that’s actually what you want. But if it got fermented due to spoilage, then toss it.

Gabriel
February 15, 2015 at 11:09 amApple cider vinegar is amazing stuff. Just be sure to drink it through a straw whenever possible, as it can damage the enamel on your teeth over time.
There are many benefits to ACV, most of which are mentioned in this article. I personally love the boost of energy it gives me. (It’s a great and healthy substitute for coffee by the way)
In terms of weight loss.. don’t expect anything drastic. You might lose a couple of pounds but real weight results are achieved through a solid diet program. If you are trying to lose weight, there’s a fantastic program at: http://www.thevenusguide.com
Great job with the site by the way, very user-friendly.

1 cup ACV
1 cup honey or agave nectar
64 oz spring or distilled water
I love it!
Richard
March 17, 2015 at 11:16 amI think its not the greatest idea to add a cup of honey or Agave to your Vinegar aide. An extra 1000 calories for what reason?
Great idea to replace the soda but not by adding lots of other sugars.
suzan
March 18, 2015 at 1:50 amAccording to me, losing weight is much more than just consuming fewer calories to bring about a drop on the weighing scale. For a lot of people, it is essential to safeguard themselves against the growing menace of lifestyle diseases.
We all know that one of the first rules of losing weight is to ditch ‘fatty foods’ and switch to a ‘healthy diet’. Nutritionists believe that weight loss does not simply mean scrapping fatty foods, it requires you to bring about a balance by actually sneaking certain foods in your diet.
Dale
March 26, 2015 at 6:34 pmI lost 63lbs in about 16 mths, drinking ACV. A 16.9 oz bottle of Ozarka water add 2 tablespoons of ACV. Be patient, you can still eat your favorite foods,but your taste will change. you will feel satisfied and not want to eat as much. And drink extra water. good luck.

April 11, 2015 at 2:53 amI am ready to try this as a weight loss supplement. i tried it a while back for heart burn. Somebody said it worked better and faster than some other products and cheaper. They were right. Now that i have the heartburn under control.. going to ry and melt a few pounds away. I am using Braggs. I figure between ACV, a healthier diet and getting into a light excercize routine,( i have very bad knees and screws in my feet) i should be able to shed a few pounds. Wish myself and everyone else on here Good luck.

April 13, 2015 at 5:06 pmI started using ACV about 3 weeks ago, I have lost
10 lbs since taking it. It has gave me more energy and
curves my appetite, found myself eating much smaller portions too. It doesn’t work over night or at least for me it didn’t, took about 2 weeks to feel the effects of taking it. It has made me feel so much better, for me it Works.
Good Luck to All, that try it.
Mary_SM
April 15, 2015 at 6:29 amThough it may not be a miracle worker, I must say using apple cider vinegar on salads instead of balsamic vinegar in salads for example kind of made a difference. You also feel less hungry once you have had dinner. Keep up the good work!

I started the ACV for the weight issue and now I got on the scale and noticed a weight loss. 237 and then within three weeks I am not 221. Also, if you try organic coconut oil it gives you the same effect. The coconut oil adds mental clarity. I have been using them both and now into two months later I am down to the weight of 198 POUNDS.

April 19, 2015 at 11:04 pmThank you all for your comments! They are very helpful to me. I have been taking ACV for about 2 weeks now and I have noticed a difference in my appetite. I crave less fatty foods, and I feel fuller. At first, the taste was so strong,but now I’m used to it,and I love it! I take it as a shot in a one tbl spoon measuring spoon, and then chase it with a bottle of spring water 16.9oz. Sometimes I also add 2 tbl spoons to my water 16.9 oz bottle. With exercise and changing our eating habits a little I believe ACV will help cut some of our fat! A good way to start getting on the right path! 🙂 good luck all!

April 21, 2015 at 2:26 amI tried the ACV diet a few years back and was shocked that I lost around 20 lbs in 3 or 4 months without changing my diet or exercise. The weight loss wasn’t quick, but it also didn’t require much effort. I also remember feeling more energetic. To those who asked if 5% ACV from your local market will work, you just need to be sure it’s the cloudy “unpasteurized” ACV… not the distilled kind. I’m jumping back into this diet tomorrow, and it was inspiring reading about people’s successes on this site. Thanks for sharing!

Cheryl
April 24, 2015 at 9:57 amI’m so trying this… I get that it wouldn’t help to add extra calories to this, but don’t you also have to make changes in your overall diet not just drink this..
Diana
April 25, 2015 at 3:13 pmHow about america garden ACV? Is it healthy to use it? Please help? Or which ACV is recommended?
gmula
April 26, 2015 at 10:36 pmI just started it today! the taste is awful but it’s a quick and easy thing to knock out. I’m desperate to lose weight and this is something I can see really helping me out.
Mila G. Ramos
April 28, 2015 at 5:37 amACV is very effective I had already consumed 3 bottles only but I canfeel its effectiveness. The problem suddenly became out of stock in our place since first week of April owww where will I buy now
leigh
April 30, 2015 at 12:20 amI took two cap fulls of white distilled vinegar for a and i lost over 20 pounds in two months…Yes it does work. Never tried the apple cider vinegar.
leigh
April 30, 2015 at 12:22 amI used the plain white distilled vinegar and lost over 23 pounds in 2 months. Yes it does work.
maria
May 1, 2015 at 1:06 amI had heard about acv, then I started to use it drinking 3 times a day. And by the time family members were telling me that I was losing weight, so it really does work.
Karleen
May 2, 2015 at 2:19 amMy dad have been using acv for quite sometime because of thyroid problems.. Now I’ll ask my mom to buy me one too.. But we only have the heinz acv.. Is heinz acv effective??

May 6, 2015 at 5:51 pmHi guys, i have done my research on ACV and its benefits. I am looking for a good diet program that can help me reduce my weight fast. Any help is appreciated.
Dee
May 8, 2015 at 11:03 pmI am prediabetic and taking ACV to help reverse this and the insulin resistance I believe I have. I’m on week 2 ..my morning blood sugar has decreased from 123 to 99 as of this morning . And my post prandial numbers from 145-170 down to 135 or lower. No weight loss yet but if I can keep this up the hope is my body will start processing sugar better no the weight loss will follow.
namrata
May 13, 2015 at 5:56 amCan I have acv early morning by adding in coconut water as every morning first thing i have is coconut water……and if not what should i have first acv ? or coconut water? and withing how much time gap???

May 19, 2015 at 11:13 amI have Heinz apple cider vinegar, is that good for weight loss?
Andrew
May 20, 2015 at 11:17 amI have been taking two tablespoons of ACV with water for the past two weeks and I am gaining weight, is there a problem.
Moira Monney
May 20, 2015 at 12:10 pmGreat post. I’m using ACV to get rid of the stiff joints associated with arthritis. It really works, amazing!
Chiara W.
May 21, 2015 at 11:15 pmGreat post thank you. I put 1-2 tablespoons of ACV in warm water and drink it every morning to boost my immune system and it worked all this harsh winter. I shall test it for weight loss as well.
Brandy
May 22, 2015 at 2:36 pmI have been using Heinz ACV and I know it’s not organic but it very much suppresses my appetite. 2 tbsp’s in a bottle of water 30 minutes before meals. Also add Garcinia Cambogia capsule which is a great appetite supressent and green coffee bean burns fat. Absolutely NO jitters.. Natural.. I also added l thiamine 200 mg. Make sure it’s all trusted brands. No side effects and use natural colon cleanser as suggested to take with Garcinia Cambogia.. I have no changed my diet nor any excersizing. I know that I should be doing that though… But I eat less and not near as hungry… Stay full… I am losing 5 lbs a week and still eating the same… Besides less hungry. Shocked I am losing so much 5-6 lbs a week but slow weight loss is better. I am going to try that soon.

May 24, 2015 at 5:43 pmACV is doing wonders, I feel lighter.

May 28, 2015 at 1:15 amApple cider vinegar is one solution for various health problems. I started consuming True element apple cider vinegar before a year just to lose my weight and then gradually I came to know about many other health benefits of it. –
It is useful for diabetic patients to lower their blood sugar level.
Improve your digestive system and many more
anam
May 29, 2015 at 7:57 pmi was drinking acv for few months ..it really worked ..i lost so many pounds but now i have gained it back and again i start drinking it but its not working now… what happened…
Lexi
May 30, 2015 at 4:37 pmCan you take before bed?
julia
May 30, 2015 at 7:29 pmI use it for everything and you will lose weight but you can’t go back to eating all the stuff you was eating before.It’s also good to rinse your hair with and your skin
Michelle Saunders
May 30, 2015 at 9:29 pm@Anam – Has your diet changed at all? Apple cider vinegar helps, but it doesn’t work miracles in terms of weight loss.
If you’re trying to lose weight, you need to focus on your diet. This is where you will see real results. That’s not to say you shouldn’t use ACV because there are many other health benefits.
If you’re unsure about which diet to follow, I highly recommend the program at: http://www.3weekweightloss.co.uk – It personally helped me lose 19lbs and I feel great.
Also, if it hasn’t been mentioned already, use a straw when drinking ACV. This way you wont damage the enamel on your teeth!
susan
June 3, 2015 at 3:39 pmThanks for sharing that link Michelle. I really want to lose a few pounds before I go away.
Brenda
June 3, 2015 at 10:53 pmI’ve also used that program Michelle, it works wonders for fat loss.
Anybody else hate the taste of ACV? I don’t suppose it matters if I mix it with fruit juice?
Tiena Mabongo
June 25, 2015 at 11:26 amI just started now using ACV so I just wanted to know, I’m using right with cold water?
Nava
June 25, 2015 at 11:28 amCold water is usually best but you can use in warm, as long as you don’t boil it.
mike
June 29, 2015 at 4:04 pmApple Cider Vinegar not only helps you lose weight, it also decreases your appetite, all too often diets leave us feeling insatiable, and it’s far too easy to give in to our guilty pleasures, yet vinegar can have the same effect as a high carb meal, only at a fraction of the calorific intake.
Tom Alter
July 1, 2015 at 2:32 amI don\’t know what to say, but after reading this post I Imported it to my country and I have been drinking it from last 20 days, but I really can\’t feel even a reduction of 1 LB from my weight 🙁
I wish I soon get some results.

July 13, 2015 at 9:07 ami am taking acv and acv capsules for 3 weeks now. what i noticed is that i am more hungry most of the time and my appetite increased. i dont know why 🙁
Vrysomchalady
July 20, 2015 at 3:18 pmJust as someone mentioned. If you use ACV, don’t think you will see quick results, or even think don’t need to change your diet. But also when I was taking it, I was excersing and my portion of food I cut in half and I got great results.But ACV does work.
LeeLee
July 23, 2015 at 2:45 pmPlease everyone be reminded that nothing is magic you must also include a small amount of walking at least. I walk 2 miles a day when I get off from work. It is healthy to eat 5 meals a day small portions or even just snacking on something your appetite will slightly increase because your body is burning the food faster.
faryal
July 26, 2015 at 5:23 pmcan someone tell me is it necessary to use it before meal?is it okay if i drink 2 times a day and 1 teaspoon is enough or 2?

August 2, 2015 at 6:06 amI THINK THAT IT NEEDS TO BE FULLY EXPLAINED BY MEDICAL EXPERTS – HOW TO USE APPLE CIDER VINEGAR I’LL GIVE YOU ONE EXAMPLE ;
TAKE A CUP OF TEA IE. WITH MILK AND SUGAR AS PER NORMAL – TAKE ONE TABLESPOON OF ACV AND ADD IT TO THE TEA – SEE WHAT HAPPENS.

August 2, 2015 at 2:31 pmWhen it comes to losing weight, there are so many different methods and theories we can find.And Apple Cider Vinegar is one of it, but to get the require result always include to exercise
Paula
August 5, 2015 at 2:31 pmDoes the acv have to be Bragg?
Nava
August 5, 2015 at 2:36 pmIt doesn’t necessarily need to be Bragg but should be a brand that’s naturally fermented and raw.
sabrina
August 5, 2015 at 7:17 pmI have a back injury an can’t exercise, can I use ACV after meals? I use it in a 1 liter bottle of drinking water at room temperature.

Aleynia
August 28, 2015 at 3:08 pmI’d like to add that this really does work. After having three kids, one being a set of twins, and eating the same amount as my husband, whose metabolism is redonkulously high, I got pretty big. It’s was noticeable. I went from 120-180. I actually had my husband inform me, “babe I love you, but you are fat”. So I took to exercising, smaller portions, extra water, and acv before every meal, and I went down to 125. It is a chore to keep the weight off, but two years later I’m still at 125.

September 17, 2015 at 3:56 amYou’re not going to lose weight with acv if that’s all you’re doing. I’m a holistic therapist and have been prescribing use of acv for many years and drinking it myself. Rule one of weight loss – make changes. Acv can only do so much to help you. It’s not a skinny pill. It is an natural appetite suppressant and metabolic stimulating used correctly but not more than that. You must cut out bad eating habits and really commit to weight loss by being more active – walk at least half an hour a day.
Acv will only help if you drink it half an hour before meals, as it’s purpose is to stimulate digestive enzymes in the gut to prepare for more efficient digestion and excretion. If you’re drinking it at other times it’s not going to be effective and you will feel hungrier. You know it’s working if you have to go to the bathroom at least three times as much as normal I’ve found personally.
Also be prepared for spots, as it draws out impurities in the skin in the beginning but if u stick with it, it’ll clear up and make you glow.
Good luck everyone and don’t be fooled into buying brands. It doesn’t matter which company are selling it, as long as you can try and get the unpasteurised one with bits of apple residue floating in it.
Ben Menton
September 22, 2015 at 9:43 amHow many times should I use ACV in a day?
TK
September 30, 2015 at 12:30 pmI started drinking acv mixed with grapefruit juice about 65 days ago, to date I have lost 27 pds! It really works people and it’s all natural so there’s no harm being done. I also changed my diet to strictly high fiber and high protein foods and I consume a maximum of 1800 calories a day and do the elliptical machine and treadmill about 3 days a week. I look great and feel even better. Give it a try, you’ll be pleasantly surprised at the results.
lucy
October 4, 2015 at 8:13 pmI have been on it a week. It totally got me off my sweet kick and I think I’m sleeping better. I’m over 70 and need to lose some weight and stop carbs. So I have cut my lunches to lite things, tuna no bread, banana few spoons of cottage cheese, some watermelon fruit at nite. My one treat I won’t quit it is my toast coffee with creamer sweetner in the morning. I am not quitting eating out only going to 1/2 portion. I even love a sweet potato with butter for lunch after vinegar. Hope I can Bragg in few weeks to Bragg Vinegar Co.

October 9, 2015 at 10:03 pmACV cannot help you lose weight by itself. Both men and women are being overwhelmed by estrogens in the body and bad bacteria in the gut. I have lost 20#s in 6 months and it hasn’t come back(with zero exercise). It is all chemical reactions in the body that helps you lose weight. You must change your lifestyle and what you put into your mouth if you really want to lose the weight for good and keep it off. Supplements DO work when the gut has the proper balance of good vs bad bacteria. It must be 80-20. ACV is a plus for your body if it is used in conjunction with several other things. And I repeat, exercise is not required.
Michael
October 9, 2015 at 10:12 pmClair-
I just read your post after I submitted mine. Looks like we were on the same page. I’m not a holistic therapist, just a guy wanting to win the war against fat. I have spent years of research and trial and error to finally accomplish my weight loss goals. I was amazed at the fact that while exercise is good for you, it won’t work unless the proper chemical reactions are taking place in the body. And trust me, being a 52-year-old male, married to a 33 year old Russian model, I’ve learned how important it is to get back into top shape, for my wife,(if you all get my drift!)
Stamina is very good for a marriage, and I repeat, as long as the proper chemical reactions are taking place in the body. ACV is definately a plus in my war.
Zora
October 12, 2015 at 1:26 pmI’ve read many comments here… Some neg and some positive feedbacks. Im concern if i start taking the ACV , and if i stop will i gain double the weight? I ACV is the HEINZ brand, is it the same effect? Because i dont know which brand of ACV is the most natural
Nava
October 12, 2015 at 1:28 pmZora, most people who use ACV for weight loss use the naturally fermented brand, Bragg or something like it. I don’t think anyone has gained double the weight back once they stop.
JAYNEE
October 12, 2015 at 1:34 pmI am a 66 year young woman, I am also a breast cancer survivor, I do have several health issues, such as diabetes 2, high blood pressure, anxiety, osteoporosis and a hypothyroid problem. Years ago I never had a weight problem because no doctor would listen to me that I had thyroid until after I finished my chemotherapy. Now my weight has comeback I lost 105 pounds on my own and now I weight close to 180 , I am now trying to use the ACV and see if it works, I am confident that it will and I will exercise 3 to 4 times a week. So I can relate to everyone who has made a comment on this site. Good luck and God Bless to all.
John Paul
October 13, 2015 at 2:44 amAleynia, your husband is supposed to encourage you, not insult you. Great ways for him to have shown support would have been to become your gym buddy or agree to eat healthier foods with you. Just because he didn’t gain weight doesn’t mean his lifestyle is healthy. Now that you’ve lost the weight, you need to have a conversation with him about respect because even if you don’t gain the weight back, your body will change as you get older.

Lena Wurz
November 1, 2015 at 6:55 pmIs it okay to use the capsules instead of the liquid?
Karey
November 4, 2015 at 3:50 pmLena, I’m pretty sure it has to be the liquid to get the full benefits.
Karey
November 4, 2015 at 3:52 pmIt has to be organic too. I’ve seen a lot of people recommend Braggs but I don’t think it matters too much
Nava
November 4, 2015 at 4:09 pmI agree, organic is important; as is naturally fermented.
Aneka
November 4, 2015 at 5:21 pmwill apple cider vinegar help me lose 5kg in under a month? how often to drink it? thanks
Martha
November 4, 2015 at 5:47 pmAneka, I have 2 tbsp every day. One first thing in the morning and one before bed.
ACV can aid in weight loss, however if your goal is to lose 5kg in under a month, you will see the best results by focusing on your diet. As somebody else mentioned, the 3 Week Diet is brilliant for burning fat. You can find more at: http://www.3weekweightloss.co.uk
Nava also has many great vegan recipes that are delicious. Remember, consistency is key!

November 12, 2015 at 7:55 amReaders in this post’s thread have consistently indicated that the capsuled are not nearly effective as the vinegar itself.
chana
November 8, 2015 at 2:43 amthe capsules are never going to be as good as the real thing. Try making a 6oz tea. I use 2 Tbs vinegar, 2Tbs honey, 6oz water, and a green tea bag. It is best to drink fast. I will also use vinegar to replace salad dressing, i use it as a marinade for any meat. I use it when I get horrifying leg cramps. I swig it right out of the bottle and the cramps stop in seconds.
naricel
November 10, 2015 at 6:35 pmapple vinegar and apple cider vinegar are the same?
Nava
November 11, 2015 at 2:26 pmI would like to say yes, but I’m not 100% sure. You just need to know that for this purposes you need naturally fermented (unfiltered) organic apple cider vinegar.
Marcella
November 12, 2015 at 1:23 amDo I use apple cider vinegar or apple cider vinegar all natural unfiltered with the mother? The unfiltered looks really nasty. I don’t know. If I can drink it. . Thank you Mrs.Auer
Nava
November 12, 2015 at 7:45 amIdeally, it is the latter — natural and unfiltered; because it’s also organic.I do agree with you about the look of it; yuck. But “the mother” just sits at the bottom of the bottle and you can avoid that. Toss the vinegar out when it gets to down to that level.
Patricia Taylor
November 12, 2015 at 3:35 pmI just started with the Bottle of Apple cider Vinegar. It’s not bad to drink. I started 2 weeks ago 2 times a day i drink a big glass of it with 2 Tbs. And i feel great. I also notice that i lost some weight drinking the Apple cider Vinegar.

Patricia McDaniel
November 23, 2015 at 9:29 pmI use apple cider vinegar on my hair in place of all the chemicals in creme rinse. And I love it. I usually wash and rinse with the vinegar, leaving the vinegar on while finish washing and then rinse it out. My hair is very long, way past my waist and combing it out is a breeze.

Nava
December 1, 2015 at 8:09 amAre you using the organic, unfiltered apple cider vinegar? Regular ACV if it isn’t a brand like Bragg or similar won’t have the same effect. Scroll back through some of the comments here and see what has worked for other readers.

December 5, 2015 at 9:47 amI have purchased normal apple cider vinegar of American garden co.is it OK to use the same for wright lose…I suffer from acid reflux .is it OK to use this product…pls let me know..thanks.
Nava
December 11, 2015 at 11:43 amBalesh, sorry for the delayed response. I’m not familiar with American Garden, but if it is raw and organic (like Bragg) that’s what you want. Otherwise it’s mostly useless.

Nava
December 11, 2015 at 11:41 amLakme, organic apple cider vinegar can be gotten from natural foods stores and online sources like Amazon. Our favorite brand is Bragg. And on the contrary, it is very good for internal organs.
priyanka (piyu)
December 13, 2015 at 2:26 amI used non-organic ACV a month ago.. I just finished one bottle in about a month. And trust me it was as amazing as an organic product would be. I felt less hungry and more thirsty while drinking ACV twice a day. After a few days i drank 12-15 glasses of water in a day! And trust me i couldn’t even drink 6 glasses of water before i started using ACV.! I did not crave for any kind of sweets and chocolates during those days. And my body just felt refreshed. I hardly lose any weight but i definitely burned fat because i lost two inches on my waist and i lost extra fat on my thighs. Im getting married next month so I’m gonna start drinking ACV again from today! Guys, try it without any doubt , ACV is just amazing…. 🙂

lia
January 2, 2016 at 9:38 pmCan i drink ACV 1tbsp without water?? In the first morning??
lynn
January 3, 2016 at 11:43 amYou really should drink it in water, or a water chaser. The acid in the vinegar eats through the enamal on teeth if the vinegar is not diluted by water, or water used after. If after. Try swishing the water around a bit too, that helps.

January 29, 2016 at 1:48 pmUsed apple cider vinegar twice daily in water. It did NOTHING for weight loss. So don’t think it’s the miracle weight loss product because it’s not. Will stop now and see if I do better.

February 5, 2016 at 10:04 pmAs I had consume it for two days, I can’t sleep for those two nights well. Is that might be one of the things that could be the side effect?

John Crooks
February 19, 2016 at 3:57 amI have been trying to lose weight on a low carb diet for like 2 months, to no avail. I am a member of sparkpeople and use it to track my meals. Only today did I realize I was misinterpreting my carb intake.
In short I was having way to many carbs, hence the stagnancy. I entered a meal plan that currently stands at 49g of carbs. No sugars or starch is included. How can I get in low carb veggies and keep my carbs at 50g? The math doesn’t add up. I would like to use this meal plan everyday.
Debbie Davidson
February 19, 2016 at 7:25 ammy future mother-in-law swears by this stuff….she has lowered her blood sugar, dropped some weight…her doc told her she’d had the best blood test results she’s ever had.
Darrell C
February 19, 2016 at 10:35 amFor those wondering about Heinz, it doesn’t have the properties of organic ACV because it has been pasteurized and cooked. To get the growth hormone, as well as various bacterium that aid against infections (similar to honey) you need Mother. “Normal” cooking vinegar has that cooked out of it.
I use it on my skin to treat eczema and I’m amazed at how well it works.
Amy
February 19, 2016 at 11:30 amJohn Crooks-You do want to get the bulk of your carbs from Veggies but you also remember that you can subtract the fiber from your carbs. So if you eat a veg that has 10g carbs but has 5g of fiber then your net carbs will be 5g net carbs. I don’t know if you were already doing that but it is helpful. Also I am not sure what low carb diet you are following. As 50 seems a little high, most low carb diets I have done are between 20g for woman and 30g for men. Happy low carbing! Good luck!
JEANETE CORNELIA
February 19, 2016 at 11:58 pmCAN I DRINK IT PURE? I MEAN NO NEED TO DILUTE IN WATER?
Nava
February 20, 2016 at 8:54 amJeanette, you really must dilute it in water, otherwise it’s hard on your tooth enamel, and it could irritate your stomach as well.
Vicky
February 22, 2016 at 8:19 pmThis is something I’m going to try. Pray for me ! Will let you all know the results.
Sylvie
February 22, 2016 at 11:22 pmI’ve use this for 3 years. The results are amazing. I lost 9 pound in first 6 weeks.
But most important, I had constipation for many years, now I can have stool 2 to 3 times a day. (Depending of how many meals I take per day)
So the ACV is wonderful but must be organic with mother.(I buy mine from Trader Joe”s)
Sams
February 23, 2016 at 9:52 amShould i it be taken in warm or cold water?
Nava
February 23, 2016 at 10:11 amI don’t think it really matters, but room temperature is always best.
Rebekah
February 24, 2016 at 10:42 amI’ve been taking Bragg’s for 2 months now. 2 tbl spoons with lemon with warm water 2x daily. Yes warm water helps.. I feel great. I eat less. Don’t feel bloated. I don’t have an issue sleeping at night at all. This stuff is great.
Heather
February 24, 2016 at 7:32 pmACV and water is more than my taste buds can handle! – will it work the same if I use juice instead of water?
Lilly
February 25, 2016 at 6:12 amjust tried it on monday, hopefully it will work
nnena
February 25, 2016 at 6:49 amIs American garden brand of ACV a good substitute of Bragg’s ACV?? i have hunted everywhere for bragg. still cant get my hands on it.
Nava
February 25, 2016 at 8:54 amHello — the ACV needs to be raw, unfiltered, and organic. I’m not familiar with American garden. You can find Bragg online, like on Amazon, if American garden doesn’t have those qualities.
Pam
February 26, 2016 at 10:24 pmYou can get whiteHouse organic acv at Walmart!!
pacada
February 28, 2016 at 1:47 ami used it with one lemon and a honey… drink it every morning
Candys
February 28, 2016 at 3:09 pmJust picked a journey with ACV,I strongly believe in positivity ….I remain hopeful though
Candy
February 28, 2016 at 7:43 pmI have been using for 2 months, it does work. shrinks stomach and lowers blood sugar. Twice a day before breakfast and before dinner. Walk two miles a day 5 days a week. Sat sun off eat fruit and vegetables drink plenty of water. Sweets 1 a week low carbs and more protein. It is also a inflammation a enzymes called phosphate. Dont stop once you start it takes time for your body to ajust to it. 100% WORKS MY OPINION!!!!
Andrew Hewman
March 2, 2016 at 11:00 amThis stuff is legit, I can definitely notice the difference.
ross stephens
March 2, 2016 at 11:01 amim guessing the liquid form is much better for you right?
Nava
March 2, 2016 at 11:05 amOh, yes. Whenever you take something in supplement form, you never really know what you’re getting.
Kelly
March 2, 2016 at 11:06 amI have the found the biggest benefit is how it kills my appetite. I get the worst cravings late at night and apple cider vinegar helps so much.
patricia
March 2, 2016 at 11:43 amCan you use this in your hair?
Nava
March 2, 2016 at 12:16 pmPatricia, I believe some of the commenters have used this in their hair to make it shiny.
alex morgan
March 2, 2016 at 1:41 pmas others have said, can I mix it with juice rather than water? I literally cannot stand the taste.
Jamie
March 2, 2016 at 7:37 pmBest article I’ve read on apple cider vinegar, great info.
To echo what has already been said.. avoid ACV in pill form if possible. It must be organic and contain the ‘mother’ to reap the full benefits.
I personally like to add ACV to Organifi green juice, which is basically a mixture of all the best super foods in one. Quick, easy and very nutritious. Here’s what I’m talking about: http://www.OrganifiJuicing.com
When you give your body what it needs, it’s incredible how much better you look and feel for it. Always choose natural ingredients… Mother nature has everything you need!

March 8, 2016 at 2:48 amHi, I just started drinking ACV today. Is it okay if I just drink once a day? Thank you. 🙂
sara
March 8, 2016 at 5:05 pmI drink a tablespoon of ACV in 8 ounces of water at bedtime. I have lost 4pounds in a week. Something must be working. I am also on a low carb no sweets or processed food diet.
Maddy
March 9, 2016 at 5:13 pmReally agree with Jamie’s comment March 2nd. Whenever I increase my veggies/greens, I get ++ bloating and gas. Will ACV help with this too?

March 19, 2016 at 1:20 amI searched about it for long days, Now only, I have come to know for good one. Its working for both men & women. I suggest that I burnt my 33Lbs Exactly 42 days routine simple workout and food. Its really awesome one!!! No words to say about it. Most of the people deceving in many sites to cure fat, Apart from that, I got this link and I following this.. Exact one. Now my hopes are still alive to burn fat. http://www.southseller.com/burn-fat
brttyking
March 22, 2016 at 6:31 amExcellent post! Thank you for sharing Simple ways to help lose belly fat. Apple cider vinegar also has a compound called acetic acid, which turbocharges the body’s ability to burn fat and simultaneously hinders fat storage.
Jerrick
March 25, 2016 at 3:09 amI started drinking ACV for 4 days now every morning before breakfast and I have not seen the result yet.I think I should follow what is being advised here. Taking it 3 times a day before meal.
Shanni
March 29, 2016 at 5:36 pmIf you want to lose stomach fat and lose weight, then you gotta take a fat burner – thats the only way that worked for me – even when I changed my diet, I still needed something extra. The Dr Max Powers Burn supplements worked in about 2-3 days – I saw a difference. Its been one month now and I’ve lost about 21 pounds. No weird side effects.
Lizzy
March 30, 2016 at 4:50 pmWorks great

ashley fritz
March 31, 2016 at 8:47 pmI’ve lost 3 pounds. Not sure if thats down to apple cider vinegar or changing my diet. Maybe both
john
April 1, 2016 at 12:20 amdrink it 3x a day before meal time it can lower ur hunger level
Steven
April 1, 2016 at 11:48 amI agree john. I think that’s one of the main benefits of ACV. It suppresses your appetite which is helpful for weight loss.
Shinji

Ryan
April 4, 2016 at 9:46 amDay 3 and I’m a little over 2 lbs down. Skin looks a little better too but could be placebo.
Ryan
April 4, 2016 at 9:49 amAlso I’ve found it gives me a bit more alertness first thing in the morning. Definitely not the placebo effect.
Vik
April 4, 2016 at 10:31 amdo you need to exercise when taking this? To loose weight?
Kytnam
April 4, 2016 at 3:26 pmHelpful information, many thanks.

April 4, 2016 at 8:15 pmDoes anybody know if Heinz is a good brand? I only ask because my local shop sell it. I see a lot of people saying Braggs is the best. Does it matter?
bobby
April 5, 2016 at 10:13 amIts a wonder cure for sinus, sinus headaches body pain , keeps you fit. I just take brisk walk and drink it with green tea.
Harris
April 5, 2016 at 11:13 amCaitlyn I dont think it matters, it just has to be organic and contain the mother.
Harris
April 5, 2016 at 11:17 amGreta, I personallly dilute it half and half. Maybe just a little more water than ACV

Rochelle N.
April 5, 2016 at 4:30 pmACV is effective for weight loss and helps detoxify bad toxins in our body.
saima
April 5, 2016 at 6:13 pmI read somewhere that it’s better if you drink it in warm water.. is this true? I don’t see how it can make a difference. I prefer it when the water is cold.
Kendra May
April 5, 2016 at 6:45 pmI’ve been researching ACV and this is the most helpful article I’ve found. Thank you for sharing this great information for free!

Mikel
April 6, 2016 at 4:49 pmI drink before every meal works good
Shaun
April 6, 2016 at 7:09 pmI just started today I wanna see if it really work I just need to shed a few pounds. Thanks for the advise

April 6, 2016 at 9:57 pmAvery, a healthy diet is always going to help. You just need to keep it in moderation.

April 7, 2016 at 12:18 amThe taste made me nauseous at first but getting used to it.
Jimmy
April 7, 2016 at 7:07 amI’ve been using for 4 weeks and have lost 4 kg. I feel great. My clothes fit better. My confidence is up and last week I picked up a girl for the first time in ages.
Ashley
April 7, 2016 at 11:32 amFor those saying they don’t like the taste, the trick is to mix it with something that overpowers it. I like to put it in my smoothies and I can’t even taste the vinegar.
I’m currently on day 6 of the 10 day smoothie cleanse and I’ve lost 8 pounds so far. I have much more energy too. I’m going to continue adding ACV because of all the health benefits. Here’s a link to the 10 day cleanse if anyone else wants to start it: http://www.10daycleanse.info
I also don’t crave sugar or junk food anywhere near as much now.
Camil
April 7, 2016 at 12:55 pmDecided to go with Braggs, I hope it helps!

April 12, 2016 at 11:03 pmI’ve been using acv along with my diet pills phentermine and where i should’ve lost anywhere from 15 to 18 lbs in the first month…. using acv along with my diet pills i’ve lost 30 lbs and even after im done taking the pills im going to continue taking acv in my water or juice along with a little lemon juice

Nava
April 14, 2016 at 10:53 amWe have an article on its benefits here: http://www.vegkitchen.com/nutrition/23-research-backed-benefits-of-apple-cider-vinegar/
Aneka
April 14, 2016 at 8:53 amI think apple cider vinegar works well for fat loss. I mean ultimately it comes down to your diet, that’s what will give you the best results. Although I find that ACV helps control my appetite and I’m less hungry.
If you’re unsure about the diet side of things I recommend checking out: http://www.19pounds3weeks.blogspot.co.uk which works really well.
I also think I’m one of the few people on here who loves the taste of ACV with just water. I love the bitter taste!
Dakota
April 18, 2016 at 10:36 pmI’ve just started the acv diet along with my family I like to mix mine with juice to mask the taste better and I can say it has suppressed the appetite which I love due to myself being a college student and when I’m bored it’s easier for me to eat so instead I take some juice already mixed with acv to drink to help me throughout the day

Ivonna
May 30, 2016 at 3:35 amApple cider vinegar is great! I long studied this subject. And I can tell you what need a comprehensive approach. For example http://bit.ly/1sMOiMl
It is an inexpensive, sumptuous diet that helps you lose weight, live longer and lower your risk of developing disabling and life-threatening diseases.
Mediterranean diet is considered one of the healthiest ways to eat on earth. In addition to starving off chronic diseases, the Mediterranean diet appears to boost brain power. For good luck!
Maribel ornelas
June 8, 2016 at 1:14 pmHi i just bought the acv i would like to know is it possible to drink it before each meal im asking cause i dont do lunch i have breakfast and dinner or does it have to be after a meal
Christa
June 16, 2016 at 8:50 pmOh my goodness,i bought some of the organic ACV today. Unfiltered. I havent started as of yet,but did walk myself through all of these wonderful testimonys. I did have a question for anyone knowing this” what is the difference between the unfiltered and filted. Will they not work the same? Ive put 50 lbs on since my wreck 3 years ago and cant exercise,but can eat right. I really hopes this helps me. I woukd love to follow or talk to others on this. Anyone want to make a facebook or intagram on ACV dieting so we can all stay intouch and see everyone’s progress??
Im Christa Seay Hylton on fb or Mtgirl4now on Instagram. Send me a message about this. New people i dont add unless i know you…sorry.

July 10, 2016 at 3:40 pmThere are no magic foods. Some foods may help you suppress your appetite a little. Some other foods may slightly increase your metabolic rate. Unfortunately, the effect is miniscule. The only way to really lose fat is to consume fewer calories than you burn. This way your body will tap into the fat stores to get the energy it needs.

July 16, 2016 at 9:21 pmi am on day 2. I am still not convinced I will lose weight. I have so many things wrong, so hope it will make me feel better. When will I start seeing results for the diet side of this?
Mary Brey
July 16, 2016 at 9:37 pmI ve just started the diet but have numerous other problems. When will I notice any results? Like weight lose, more energy, feel better?

July 30, 2016 at 7:44 pmWhat’s a good juice to add it to? And does the brand mater?

August 6, 2016 at 4:16 pmYou have to be careful too that you\’re not restricting your calories too much. If you do, you\’ll lose a lot at first, but then you metabolism will change. Not only will you plateau, but you\’ll start feeling like garbage.
Go to a trustworthy calorie calculator and run your stats. You will see a calorie total you can\’t believe, but do eat at least that much, or you will not be able to sustain your weight loss. Good luck!

August 8, 2016 at 6:15 amDear all, I have been using ACV (2 teaspoons in glass of water, three times a day) for about a month. Its is not a miracle cure, of course, but I did lose 1 kg. (without further diet) and feel good. To me, it is an easy way to improve my health and weight a little bit. If you need to lose much weight, ACV alone is not going to cut it!
An important warning though (which the article does not mention): because it is so sour, ACV will damage your teeth and stomach lining if you do not dilute it, and even diluted it can damage your teeth a little, so I RINSE my mouth with water afterwards. Good luck!
Ann Magoon
August 14, 2016 at 3:10 pmI have to honestly say that the ACV really works for losing weight. When I started to take the ACV for low stomach acid, 1 TBSP in as much water before meals about 3 weeks ago, I knew it helped lose weight but that wasn’t my focus for taking it. In fact, I was planning on trying to lose weight one more time because I have changes in my life and want to be slim, usually nothing works for me after years of trying, after menopause all efforts were futile. For this purpose I found a digital scale at a good price and was surprised to find I had lost 19 lbs.I was in shock, I wasn’t expecting this. This was only after 2.5 weeks of starting with the ACV, since then I have lost another 3 lbs. I am down to 243 from 265. Mind you I am also taking digestive enzymes with my meals, so that might account for helping the ACV.

August 20, 2016 at 12:42 pmI bought a bottle months ago and it’s been sitting in my cupboard mm….. so after reading all these testimonials I think I will give it a shot.

nancy
September 2, 2016 at 11:21 pmwill taking ACV cause gastic problem? Can ACV added with prune juice?
Nava
September 6, 2016 at 12:07 pmAs long as you don’t overdo it, and don’t take it straight — always with water or juice — it should cause no problems. Not sure about the prune juice, though.
Naseema ally
September 5, 2016 at 3:03 pmIt’s a slow process
JBM
September 6, 2016 at 12:04 pmwhere can this AVC be bought at???
Nava
September 6, 2016 at 12:06 pmAny natural foods store! Many large supermarkets carry it as well.
Adam
September 9, 2016 at 9:29 amACV is not a great source of potassium. It contains barely a trace. One raisin has more potassium than a serving of acv.
Amina Nasir
September 14, 2016 at 12:34 pmHi Dear I am drinking it 3 times a day with water from a month I didn’t reduce anything yet and I feel more hungry after this so what shall I do. Thanks
Sara
September 17, 2016 at 11:00 pmI tried diluting ACV and found that I couldn’t finish the cup without gagging and being on the verge of throwing up, so instead, I take a big sip out of the bottle before every meal. It makes me feel like I’m going to die for a minute, but I find that more tolerable, since there’s no second sip required.
Deb
September 20, 2016 at 12:29 amSara……. Do not drink it undiluted. It will rot your insides. It’s not good to do that. I take it with equal amounts of water. I take 1tbsp of each.
Hanna Williams

shiku
September 21, 2016 at 3:05 pmdoes the ASV have a bad smell coz that can make me fail using it
Lio
September 22, 2016 at 8:00 amShiku, the smell isnt the best but you can always mix it with juice like others have suggested.
Lio
September 22, 2016 at 8:03 amThe article on the benefits of ACV is even more interesting, I never would’ve known
Pronta
September 22, 2016 at 8:27 amI think after a while, you learn to like the taste. Your body adjusts to it after drinking it every day for months.
Pronta
September 22, 2016 at 8:35 amDidn’t realize some people drank it undiluted!? Doesnt that burn your throat? I have slightly more water than acv
Casey
September 22, 2016 at 8:48 amCan I just buy the tablets from my local supermarket? Will it help me lose weight? Thanks
Nava
September 22, 2016 at 10:37 amCasey, the tablets don’t work as well as the actual ACV.
Ashna
September 22, 2016 at 12:25 pmCasey, it has to be the organic liquid form of apple cider vinegar. Many people make the mistake of buying the tablets, but you wont get the full benefits this way.
To your second question “Will it help me lose weight?” The answer is yes and no. It helps in the sense that it suppresses your appetite and prevents cravings. Think of apple cider vinegar as a great tool to help with weight loss.
If your goal is to lose weight, check out the Venus Factor. It’s designed specifically for women and works amazingly well. You can find it at: http://www.venusguide.info
ACV is worth it for your health alone. There’s another great article on here on all the benefits. Hope this helps.

September 24, 2016 at 12:58 amHi , I have recently started using acv,I feel few cramps in and around my belly.it has swelled a bit and is very tight since I started using it. could u plz suggest y is it happening?
Nava
September 24, 2016 at 8:26 amAre you diluting the ACV as suggested? If this persists, though, you should stop taking it. It’s hard to know why it disagrees with you, but since you have this kind of reaction, it’s best not to take it.

September 25, 2016 at 12:14 pmHow long does Braggs Organic Apple Cider last in the Fridge? Does it have an experation date on it? I had some in the fridge for several months because I had forgotten about it and so I through it out because I saw the “mother” in it and didn’t know what it was.

Serina
October 11, 2016 at 3:45 pmI just bought Organic ACV today and I am excited to start, although I hear it helps to suppress cravings, which is what I need, I exercise daily the most 4-5 days a week if not more, I also have thyroid issues. SO hopefully I can drop my last 20 lbs… I will keep you all updated.

Angel
October 16, 2016 at 4:02 amive been in all kinds of diet. I always envy my sister who is so slim because she naturally have small appetite and eat healthy. I, on the other hand was always hungry but i choose my food well most of the time. And as i grow older i just can feel the pounds taking in regardless of what i do but Thank God i accidentally read about garcinia cambodia and ACV article but i chose to drop the GC and instead take the ACV alone with water. And it is a miracle for me! I dont have hanger pangs in the morning or evening!basically the whole day!It is the most amazing experience in my life!now i wear size 2 or size 0, like the way i was in HS!(i’m 4’llft). Before i read about this but didn;t even bother to try because i just thought i would gag or vomit from it but luckily whenever i have my flow i will always crave for a soda and that one time instead of that i opt for ACV and water mixed and boy oh boy i never looked back. This time instead of water this is what i drink(i make it cold, it makes it drinkable and appealing to me). I uses bpa free staw to protect me teeth of course. Everytime i drink this i feel like i’m drinking soda instead! Now i feel young with the ideal appetite for food!!I wish some people struggling with weight loss will be encouraged and be helped(healed)like me. PS I buy AC at trader joes. it’s organic and very affordable.

November 2, 2016 at 6:00 pmIm on day two of drinking ACV all i can say is it makes me eat less i do find that my stomach hurts with cramps and i found out that its normal I’m doing 2 tablespoons of ACV and about 6-8 oz of water i actually don’t mind the taste and i take mine in the morning and at night and all i feel is a bit of stomach pain and using the bathroom a lot more sorry if thats TMI hope this helps
Nancy
November 3, 2016 at 10:21 pmI too love apple cider vinegar. So much so that I googled how to make it myself.
Perhaps that idea could appeal to some?
It’s easier than the instructions make it out to be. Try it, you will, I am sure, be glad you did.
Deborah
November 4, 2016 at 9:05 amI am an older lady an I have been on a diet of 1200 calories a day, I know not much but it got so I was not losing any weight! All I did was go down 1/2 pad back up and I got mad, 1200 calories is not much surely there has got to be something. I started this ACV, AND THE WEIGHT STARTED FALLING OFF! I could not believe it, I take it 2 teaspoon ACV, 1drop of honey , an a dap of sweet-n-low in a glass of water before ever meal. Now I have had some cramping, and I urinate a lot Which I see as a good thing

dave
November 6, 2016 at 11:49 amdon’i eat food for 6 days only 1 cup of grapefruit juice and two tbsp of apple cider vinegar and 1 tbsp honey .That will help you loose weght very very fast and it will not come back on.
Roger
November 6, 2016 at 8:26 pmCan you take too much of the Apple vinegar can you put it in every glass of water you drink on a daily basis for example I drink about eight bottles of water a day can I added to each bottle?
Nava
November 6, 2016 at 8:30 pmRoger, personally I think that would be hard on your stomach and teeth. Best to take it about a half hour before meals as recommended in the post.
Ms. Rogee McLennan
November 10, 2016 at 9:50 pmWhy do you say to use ” Organic Appel Cider Vinegar”, What about the plain Jane kind from a Safeway Store?? It doesn’t say anything about ” organic”. Just that it’s been Diluted with water to 5% ACIDITY!
IS THIS THE SAME THING, with out the word posted > ORGANIC????
THANKS

December 26, 2016 at 10:08 pmI have fibromyalgia and the weight gain is ridiculous! My dad used ACV years ago- worked for him! I see people adding other stuff besides the ACV to water…is that necessary or just for taste? I just want to lose this weight – preferably 50-60 pounds(more would be great!). So, 1-2 teaspoons in a glass of water 3 times a day(before meals)…what if my appetite is off and I only eat twice? I guess I’ll find out. If any other advice, please advise- thanks!

Kim Kay Gordon
January 1, 2017 at 4:11 pmCan you use apple cider vinegar. Not organic.
Nava
January 1, 2017 at 4:18 pmKim, this works best with organic raw unfiltered ACV.
Kim
January 2, 2017 at 9:24 amI literally felt this mixture hit my stomach. It was not a good feelin! Immediately, my face became flush as if I had been sunburnt! This is a negative reaction. As a nurse, I KNOW this is my body’s way of rejecting the intake. If this happens to you, please STOP! If you are dead-set on continuing, consult your MD!
Nava
January 2, 2017 at 10:29 amKim, you may need to cut it with more water if you continue to use this.
Dorothy James
January 2, 2017 at 3:52 pmI started using the acv a few days ago. Some stomach cramps,but not really bad. I’m taking it to help control my eating and hopefully to shed some pounds. I will give update later on in the weeks ahead.
Dorothy
January 2, 2017 at 3:59 pmI started using acv few days ago. So, I’m going to see what happens in the next few weeks. My purpose for taking it is to help control my eating and craving. Also, hope to shed a few pounds. I which everyone success while taking acv!☺ I will give an update in the weeks ahead.
Pronto
January 3, 2017 at 7:41 amIf you’re getting stomach cramps, try diluting the ACV with more water. This can help.
For weight loss.. I find the main benefit is appetite control. You might lose a couple of pounds but real weight results are achieved through a solid diet program. If you are trying to lose weight, there’s a brilliant program at: http://www.3weekprogram.com
ACV is worth it for all the health benefits alone. I will continue to take it for the rest of my life. Brilliant stuff.

January 3, 2017 at 9:21 amgreat tips. will try

January 3, 2017 at 9:47 pmCan be any brand, but it needs to be with the mother or it really doesn’t work.
Nava
January 3, 2017 at 9:54 pmJune, that is correct. It doesn’t have to be Bragg, but it has to be raw and unfiltered ACV. Preferably organic as well.

My problem is curbing my appetite which is worse of course on days I workout.. is it safe for me to try ACV 3 times a day before meals? What if I take it during mornings when I take the thermogenic and amino acid?

January 10, 2017 at 10:32 amI just started today so I will see how it works but I am also changing the way I eat! I have egg, toast on wheat and fruit in the mornings! A salad or soup for lunch and maybe the same for dinner ! Cutting back on breads!

January 10, 2017 at 10:38 amGood luck, Angela! I can tell you that just cutting back on bread will work wonders. Bread-y things are so hard to digest.

January 13, 2017 at 4:49 pmI started ACV about a yr. ago. I love it…taste and all. I put 2-3 tbsp in my thermo cup with about 8 oz of water and a 1/4 cup of my favorite juice, i.e. apple or aloe vera juice. I also started putting a tsp. of cayenne pepper in the drink. Love it! BUT I HAVE TO STOP DRINKING IT! I’m losing weight!! And Im aready small and it took me a lifetime to gain my weight and when I finally did and later began to drink ACV I lost my extra pounds!! Bummer! Now I have to start all over again trying to gain weight. I know for many of u this isn’t your problem so what I would say is yes! Give it a try. I believe it will help u shed ur unwanted pounds. It also took away water retention and I stop having swelling in my feet in the morning. Blessings to all!

Kristin
January 16, 2017 at 9:53 amHow does everyone get past the TASTE? I’m having a difficult time getting it down.
Nava
January 16, 2017 at 12:02 pmKristin, try taking it in a cup of apple juice or tomato juice. In tomato juice, you barely taste it at all …

January 16, 2017 at 9:55 amDoes it means that there will b no result…..???
I am 14…can I still use it?
SS123
January 16, 2017 at 9:58 amDoes it mean that there will be no change. ..??
I am 14…will it work on me??
Haylea-Ann
January 16, 2017 at 10:26 amCan you just take a straight shot of 2tsps of ACV and then drink a glass of water? I tried drinking it in the water and I could barely get it down because of the taste lasting so long… I would rather just get it down fast then get rid of the taste with water.
Nava
January 16, 2017 at 12:03 pmIf you take it straight, even in that small amount, it’s hard on the stomach and teeth. As I suggested to another reader, try taking it in a glass of juice. You hardly taste it at all in tomato juice. Apple juice is good, too.
Maribel
January 16, 2017 at 11:42 amMaribel Vigo I star it today.I use Colangen pills can I keep using it even tho I start with the AvC
Efna
January 16, 2017 at 2:37 pmHey Nava. Is there a brand you would recommend in particular? Thanks
Nava
January 17, 2017 at 11:40 amEfna, a lot of people swear by Bragg, but you can use any brand as long as it’s raw, organic and unfiltered.
Rita
January 16, 2017 at 2:39 pmDoes it matter if you take it before or after meal?
Nava
January 17, 2017 at 11:40 amRita, most people do this before meals.
Rayden
January 16, 2017 at 3:44 pmReally helpful, thanks.
Rayden
January 16, 2017 at 3:45 pmGoing to start off with 1 tablespoon every morning.
Sherica
January 16, 2017 at 9:21 pmHow long after starting will you see change because I been doing it for couple days and I feel like I’m gaining
Sandra Galinanes
January 16, 2017 at 9:52 pmI started ACV on January 10, 2017. I started taking it because I have gallstones, but I have noticed that I have lost 3lbs since then. I exercise 4 times a week. It’s hard for me to lose weight, and I have been stuck on the same weight for a long time. I know that ACV has a lot of health benefits, but didn’t know about the weight lose. I am excited that I stumbled into it and I hope I can lose some more weight. I mix 1 tablespoon of ACV with apple juice and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. I drink it in the morning 30 minutes before breakfast. I use Braggs ACV unfiltered raw. In the afternoon, I drink another cup of ACV 1 tablespoon with Apple Juice. I hope this helps and encourages you to try it out.
ismail asmal
January 17, 2017 at 5:47 amabout 30 years ago i suffered from wheezing and asthma. After going through the usual routine of steroids,nebulizers and pumps with a whole range of medication, i was told about ACV and i tried it.After only one week of the concoction, my asthma was GONE!! incredible.
now im gonna try ACV for weight loss and hope that my weight goes right down. Ismail Asmal
Aminah Muhammad
January 17, 2017 at 8:30 amI started drinking ACV every morning & at bedtime starting Jan 1, 2017. As of Jan 17, I have lost inches of my waistline and 3 pounds. However, I discovered that drinking it at night wasn’t good for me because I seems to not be able to go to sleep I was getting energy
Alikah
January 17, 2017 at 10:34 amI think ACV is a great strategy for weight loss. As people have already pointed out, it’s great for appetite control
Alikah
January 17, 2017 at 10:35 amI think the most important thing is being consistent. It will take time to see results!
Rayden
January 17, 2017 at 11:08 amDefinitely can tell the effect it has on appetite. Already excited to keep this going. I will report back on results
Teresa Elliott
January 17, 2017 at 2:42 pmWell I been taking apple cider vinegar for 2 months it has worked wonderful for me it really burns fat and it suppress my appitite I love that. I tried everything but I couldnt lose the weight until I start using it. It tastes bad but I still drink it. What I do is pure some in a bottle of water and drink it during the day and it burns everything.
Lea
January 17, 2017 at 6:23 pmI think before meals also. Much better in my opinion
Lea
January 17, 2017 at 6:24 pmI think if you take ACV after your meal, you’re not getting the benefit of how it controls your appetite.
Tablespoon of ACV with just water before every meal.
Ivy
January 17, 2017 at 10:47 pmAminah Muhammad…. are you exercising with it too or just the acv??
Tyesha
January 18, 2017 at 1:21 amHow many minutes before eating should I drink this
Anin
January 18, 2017 at 5:41 amAminah, I also find ACV gives me energy. It’s a good substitute for caffeine
Anin
January 18, 2017 at 5:44 amThe only bad thing is the taste… but most things that are good for you taste bad lol. I have to dilute it in a lot of water
Dorah
January 18, 2017 at 2:10 pmI have been drinking ACV for the past week put i noticed i gain weight
Sony
January 18, 2017 at 10:25 pmdo we need to have it before meal or after meal? some say before gng to bed hv ACV for weightloss..
Mel
January 19, 2017 at 5:14 amTake it in soda water. It tastes just like cider yum yum
Levi
January 19, 2017 at 7:16 amSorry if this is a really stupid question but does it have to be mixed with water?
Levi
January 19, 2017 at 7:17 amI think Id prefer to put it in my morning smoothie so I cant taste it. Way too strong for me
Pren
January 19, 2017 at 9:56 amMel thats a really good suggestion. Will try
Sharon E Johnson
January 19, 2017 at 12:38 pmI just started doing this 2 tblsp and 8 oz of water. I can feel a difference. One question, can it cause diarrhea. I am taking it by spoon full and then drinking water. My stomach does have an odd feeling drinking straight. I’m going to go to mixing in tea and see if that helps. Just wondered if anyone has developed diarrhea just from starting this regiment. I think I’m going to like this way of diet help. I will be starting an exercise program in a couple weeks. Thanks in advance for information.
GayLynne Boutte'
January 19, 2017 at 3:15 pmI like it in water as a wine substitute with Italian food. Saw a recipe recently with orange juice.1 cup o.j., 2 t. cider vinegar…add honey or stevia if still has bad taste.
Courtney Emery
January 19, 2017 at 6:21 pmI started taking Acv, december 28.2016
Almost a month now, and i am down an incredible 16lbs and have so much energy!!!
I mix 2tbs with a glass of warm water 3x a day before each meal. And i replaced my salt with Acv. Its amazimg how beneficial this is and i only found about it 3weeks ago!
Cassandra
January 19, 2017 at 8:17 pmI just started drinking it today and I drink mine with a half teaspoon of honey half teaspoon of cinnamon half teaspoon of lemon juice and 8oz of water.
Anoa
January 19, 2017 at 9:24 pmI love this stuff, it gives me energy. Is it true that you can also put it in your hair?
Mickey
January 19, 2017 at 10:29 pmThe article says teaspoons but a few of the comments say tablespoons, which one is it actually? Also if you are juicing do you take it before or can you mix it in and still get all the other benefits?
Jenna
January 19, 2017 at 10:56 pmI am a terrible person and tend to not eat breakfast most mornings. Does it have an effect if you don’t eat after drinking it?
Shikha
January 20, 2017 at 3:07 amI have just ordered Apple Cider Vinegar. Lets see how it would work. Will update again after 2 weeks.
Anx
January 20, 2017 at 9:04 amJenna, not eating breakfast is fine despite what most people will tell you. Many people do intermittent fasting which involves skipping breakfast with no ill effects.
Anx
January 20, 2017 at 9:05 amMickey, you can take a tablespoon, that’s what I’ve always done.
Pat
January 20, 2017 at 5:17 pmACV is brilliant stuff. Also recommend coconut oil which is really good too
shika
January 21, 2017 at 6:54 amIf I put this on my skin and hair, how much water should I dilute it with?
shika
January 21, 2017 at 6:55 amI’m thinking a 50/50 solution of water and acv.. maybe a little more water. Hoping this works
Shawn
January 21, 2017 at 8:36 amIt help with my blood pressure… my blood pressure was always high. Been taking meds. For it for two years…. Always 156/89 or 146/83 I goes to the Dr. Monday and it was 123/83 I take 2 tablespoons with warm water every morning and before I go to bed… was down 11lbs.as well ( In 3 weeks) no workout. Just drunk this.
incey
January 21, 2017 at 8:58 amGreat tips, thank you.
Tom T
January 21, 2017 at 9:33 amI started taking it Sunday 3 times a day when I caught a cold/flu. It’s now the Saturday 6 days later. Cold/flu was mostly gone on Wednesday. This morning I weigh 3 pounds less than I did on Sunday, 6 days ago and I have not been eating less. As a mater of fact, I’ve clearly been eating more as I try to eat more when I have a cold or flu. I exercise everyday for 60 minutes but have been doing that for a long time so no difference there. I’m sold on this and will continue to take it daily even though I’m no longer sick.
Anin
January 21, 2017 at 12:14 pmShawn that’s awesome. Didn’t realise it could have such a drastic effect on blood pressure
Rina
January 21, 2017 at 12:39 pmi will try for a few weeks and see results
Rina
January 21, 2017 at 12:41 pmdo i just continue my normal eating and weight will go down? also the taste of the vinegar is really bad. but most things that taste bad are good for you lol 🙁
Shannon
January 21, 2017 at 12:46 pmI started drinking with cranberry juice…every morning and night..it’s the only way I could get it down. Haven’t weighed or anything else….wonder if it still works with cranberry juice..anybody know?
Chaxx
January 21, 2017 at 1:47 pmRina, ACV mainly helps with appetite control which assists in weight loss. It just makes losing weight that little bit easier. Combined with a good diet it can be very helpful so it’s definitely worth it. As previously suggested, there’s a really effective diet program at: http://www.3weekprogram.com
As for the taste.. a lot of people like to mix it with fruit juice. I personally go with orange juice because it masks the ACV taste well. Hope this helps!
Ash
January 21, 2017 at 4:53 pmHelpful article, looks promising.
EMILY
January 22, 2017 at 9:15 amI’m starting this today! Read ALOT of comments and it sounds promising. It tastes horrible though. And I’m makin my boyfriend do it with me so I’m not the only one that has to suffer
Nora
January 22, 2017 at 2:07 pmI try out this last year in November with a diet plan and i can’t believe my eyes when i weight myself and saw the result.Plus its make me sleep well at night and my body just feels great no more headaches.
Nancy Ortega
January 22, 2017 at 5:46 pmI started drinking this like four days ago. I took it as directed with water 2 tbs vinager lemon cayenne pepper and cinnamon. 2 x a day before meals with healthy meals. I’m happy to say that I feel different. I lost 1.7 pds so far and feel light like a feather. I will be weighing myself weekly from here on in
M Welch
January 22, 2017 at 9:41 pmI myself have only been taking it for a couple days but I use splenda with lemon juice,And water I heat it up a little on the microwave and drink it,it actually taste great ,but I also use the ultimate garcinia pills
Terrance W.
January 23, 2017 at 8:44 amI’m ready to give this a try!!
Brandy Shipp
January 23, 2017 at 8:34 pmI just started today trying this.. I was wondering if anyone has tried it with the packets that u put in water. I can’t get past the taste of anyone can help I would like that.
Kim
January 24, 2017 at 12:33 amJust tryed it with manuka active honey for sweetness and benifits.
Pam

1 cup of vinegar
1 cup of honey
2 quarts of water

Michael Wayne Lenling
January 24, 2017 at 5:28 amI am ready to give it a try faithfully for one month.
Ellen
January 24, 2017 at 3:38 pmI started this today. The taste is really bad but wanted to try to see how it works for me. I have a 13 year old daughter who is pre-diabetic. I make her follow a healthy diet trying to keep her weight down, but she’s hit a point that she doesn’t want to diet anymore. Any ideas on what to make it taste better so she will drink it and hopefully help her with her health issues.
Alicia
January 24, 2017 at 8:03 pmCan I just take a shot of acv 3 x a day and chug a glass of water after? Do I have to eat within 30min after? And does it have to be a full meal?
racheal Hoyle
January 25, 2017 at 1:37 amwill be trying this today and i will follow up to let people know
Jen
January 25, 2017 at 2:22 amJust started ACV this evening. First I tried it in water but just couldn’t get it down. I had Diet 7up in the house so I used that. It actually made me only want to drink 7up with ACV. Extremely great flavors to mix. Highly recommend.
Megan
January 25, 2017 at 1:00 pmI couldn’t do it! I got sick after the second drink! How do u guys get it down?
Ebony
January 25, 2017 at 5:54 pmI’ve been drinking1 tablepoon of acv and 1 tablespoon of honey in a glass of warm water twice a day for the last month and I could honestly say I see a big difference in my skin and my weight… it works for me
Cathy
January 25, 2017 at 7:36 pmThis is my second day of drinking acv before my meals. I’m hoping to test it out for the month and see my results. It’s tough to drink, but I’m rather familiar with eh taste. My family has always used acv as their “go-to” for things such as acne, stomach aches, sore throats, etc. I know it does work for those things, I’ve just never consistently used it for weight loss. My tip is to just mix it in about 8 oz. of water and gulp it down all at once without any breaks. The longer you take to drink it, the nastier it tastes.
Lisa-Marie A Baker
January 25, 2017 at 10:26 pmHonestly i use a 200ml measuring cup
-30mls (1 tablespoon) of organic honey ($10.90 frm coles)
– 2tablespoons of moderatly hot warm water to dissolve honey
– 60mls (2Tablespoons) of ACV with ‘mother’ ($6.49 chemist warehouse)
– top it up with chilled water
Enjoy
I have lost my cravings for junk food, almost illiminating any sugary junks and truely do find my self craving fresh food way more than before. I wake up lighter sleep deeper and my skin is way better- funny thing is aswell is that i actually find myself telling the kids to hurry up cos i wanna “play” in the yard. I wanna burn the energy its weird but amazing aswell! – this is only after 8days i make it as soon as i wake up and slowly drink it as i make the kids breakky then as i prep dinner i have my second one. I have more energy and am yet to weigh myself, for me this is about having better energy levels to be stay at home mum. Any weight loss is a benifit. I

January 25, 2017 at 11:32 pmHOW MUCH WEIGHT CAN I LOSE IN A MONTH ??
Sifa
January 26, 2017 at 2:17 amWell, Hi there,I just started drinking the ACV for almost two weeks now, I don’t if it is just me or anyone out there have experienced this maybe the ACV is not going with my body, my stomach is getting big with just gas or air whatever you want to call it . And I don’t eat at all, I have only been eating once per day and that’s only if my friends force me to, also I have got a lot white discharge from my V* which freaked me out for four days and it doesn’t seem like it can be out easy. Please someone answer me, I have faith that ACV would also work for me but white stuff from my V* it’s not fun at all
Gina Martinez
January 26, 2017 at 6:10 amI love Bragg’s ACV.. My weight was 213Lbs and a size 24 and in 4 month’s I’m at 125Lbs and a size 10 .I mix 1tbs of Bragg’s ACV & 1tbs of honey with 1 full glass of warm water before bed & 1st thing in the morning .You must have the wilpower to want the fat off of you in order to lose it like I did .
Sandie
January 26, 2017 at 9:28 amI’m willing to give this a try…
Joelle
January 26, 2017 at 11:38 amAlicia I was doing shots but from what I read that may not be a good ideal as it can burn your esophagus and irritate the lining of your stomach. I suggest mixing it with something.
Dr Pat Barton
January 26, 2017 at 7:48 pmI take one teaspoon in a little warm water before breakfast but will try before other meals too. I also take a Garcinia tab with some water straight after drinking down the ACV which I can’t taste because I hold my nose while drinking it. Three days later and I can feel the reduced appetite for junk food already!
Amy
January 26, 2017 at 8:06 pmShould I be doing 2 TABELSPOONS or 2 TEASPOONS
twice a day? I’ve been mixing with about a cup of OJ and it goes down smooth. I rinse my mouth out with water after for a couple of seconds.
Carmen
January 26, 2017 at 8:24 pmI started using ACV in Sept. as a health supplement, did not know it was also induced weight loss. BE CAREFUL & monitor your weight, I’ve lost 12lbs I did not need to lose,& losing more at a rapid rate. I took 10ml with an ounce of any juice just once in the morning. Rinse mouth afterwards as it eats away at tooth enamel. Overall it has greatly helped my health.
Jan
January 26, 2017 at 9:58 pmI mix the vinegar with my daily berrocca n the morning, can just taste it but I think its refreshing, cleans the mouth and tongue, I’ve only starting taking it so don’t know if I hve lost weight, but fingers crossed. Good Luck everyone Jan

Courtney J
January 27, 2017 at 10:17 amJust started this plan yesterday, I drink 8oz ginger ale + 1tbs ACV (3× a day), that’s the only way I can get it down. Already I can feel my digestive system responding to the ACV, looking forward to my results by the end of February!
Also, HIGHLY recommend that you eat while doing this! Wouldn’t want to burn a hole through your stomach!
Michele
January 27, 2017 at 10:32 amI’m on day 2 and last night I slept like a baby and was surprised because I didnt know that AC would do that. So, that is a first benefit I’m going all the way with this!
eross
January 27, 2017 at 12:42 pmstarted drinking this 2 weeks ago. I took it as directed with warm water 4 tbsp vinegar lemon juice cayenne pepper and raw honey. once a day before breakfast with healthy meal lunch. work out 1 hr a day, 4 days wk, I’m happy to say that I feel different, skin is clearer, and can notice my tummy doesn’t look or feel bloated.

January 27, 2017 at 3:40 pmHi I started taking ACV,warmwater,honey during early morning from today and from afternoon i have got loose motions is it because of the above can anyone pl suggest…
Pamela Schmidlin
January 27, 2017 at 4:05 pmI just started a few days ago mixing it with water and the juice of one lemon…….SHould I increase it to every meal or is once a day fine for results!!
Sandy
January 27, 2017 at 11:11 pmI absolutely love the assistance of the Apple Cider & Honey in the morning and night, along with a daily gym routine. For 2017, my plan is to respect my body instead of abusing it with fast foods. Being 45, is a powerful number and I’d like to be around for my grandchildren. Great article as well!! We have to do this girls’, for ourselves!!
Coops
January 28, 2017 at 1:25 amI have doubts about the credibility of an article that says something is “unhealthful”
Amber Roszman
January 28, 2017 at 8:19 amDo you have to use the organic apple cider vinager or can you use any of the apple cider vinager.
Nava
January 29, 2017 at 7:29 pmAmber, it’s best to use ACV that’s both organic and unfiltered.
Gail Goodwin
January 28, 2017 at 7:05 pmI’m starting this today I have tried everything a friend at work is doing this and she has lost 27 pounds so far I hope it works for me
Jaanu
January 28, 2017 at 7:23 pmI can vouch losing the muffin top has some merit, by drinking appx 2tspn of ACV, with a pinch of baking powder.
I stumbled upon this as was researching what may be causing facial excema on me. My research indicated one of the reasons for this can be “leaky gut”, anyways long and short of it, is that within 3wks of using ACV, I saw my muffin top/belly bulge significantly diminished. yet to find out if it’ll help with the excema…
Adrienne
January 28, 2017 at 11:32 pmI get around the taste by treating myself to “Naked” juices. They are available at most stores. So far, the orange based, mango based and carrot juices have worked fine. I put 2 tablespoons of the ACV in the 15 oz. bottle, shake well, then drink 1/2 of the bottle twice a day. It also helps to do the mixing ahead of time, like the night before, to give the flavors time to blend well.
CHris
January 29, 2017 at 9:09 amI mix it with club soda. The fizz makes it much easier to drink. I saw a lot of people mix it with fruit juice but that’s so much sugar I can’t understand why you’d want to do that?
Jenn
January 29, 2017 at 12:34 pmWould it still work if I just take shots of acv and then the water. I can’t get pass the taste!
Barb Fischer
January 29, 2017 at 12:48 pmI have been taking this for a month don’t know if it helped with weight loss but I think it has helped with my crohns disease and energy level
Rita
January 29, 2017 at 3:37 pmDoes unfiltered apple cider vinegar do the same job
Shel
January 29, 2017 at 8:50 pmDo you all follow a specific weight loss program or do you lose strictly as a result of the AVC?
maria
January 30, 2017 at 11:35 amI don’t know about this comments from this people can you loose weight with vinegar? Do you have to do exercises and diet? How you doing this? Please can someone help me.
Margie
January 30, 2017 at 11:54 amI definitely love this I am so doing it every day I already see a difference in my body and I do work out of the gym three or four times a week thank you everyone for sharing all your comments I couldn’t be happier
Janel
January 30, 2017 at 5:45 pmJust started this. Mixed with cranberry juice, water and ice in my yeti cup. we shall see if this works. will try mixing with other drinks too. I read somewhere else that some used it to cook rice!

January 30, 2017 at 6:00 pmI started January 8th at 193lbs my weight today is 183! I’m less hungry, no cravings. I started eating mostly fruits, veggies and good fats like alvacodos and almonds. I’m looking forward to my summer body. I’m so happy….I onl y use Bragg ACV. The hardest part is starting the routine everything else will follow if you stick to it.
Larna
January 30, 2017 at 6:32 pmGreat article. It’s been said already but make sure you buy the raw, unfiltered apple cider vinegar. (This is important) Many people make the mistake of buying the tablets which are just not the same. Organic ACV contains something called the ‘mother’ which contains strands of proteins, enzymes and friendly bacteria. (Basically this is the stuff full of goodness) If you want to maximise weight loss and health benefits there’s a very helpful guide at: http://www.acvbenefits.com
You can pick up a bottle of ACV for about $10 and it lasts for ages. It’s a brilliant bang for your buck. Coconut oil is great stuff too!
Tiffany
January 31, 2017 at 7:27 amI have got Whitehouse raw unfiltered organic apple cider vinegar with the mother in it and I’m going to use it 3 times a day before meals and see what happens.
JIll
January 31, 2017 at 12:27 pmI started almost 2 weeks ago and have lost about 7 lbs so far. Of course, no crappy food and no junk food. Trying to be cautious of what I eat. Its hard to drink as the taste is GROSS but I slam it in a little water.
Kayla
January 31, 2017 at 12:52 pmI mixed mine with water, lemon juice, honey, cinnamon and cayenne pepper. Will it still be as effective or should I just take the teaspoons as a shot with watter??

Martin Rodriguez
February 2, 2017 at 10:14 amI recommend you guys drink it with metamucil fiber orange flavor, omg what a different . The taste is not that bad at all compared with drinking it with water by it self with the vinegar . And cut a small piece of lime or lemon , after to finish drinking the vinegar up with that metamucil fiber i sucked on the lime or lemon . Trust me the tasted will be reduced.

Kim
February 3, 2017 at 1:50 amHey everyone,
I just want to thank you all for comments, I’ve been trying to lose weight now for the past three years. It seems impossible. You all have gotten me psyched to start this regiment. In fact you got me so excited that I had to get out of bed to start it now instead of waiting till morning. I mixed two teaspoons with about 3 ounces of O.J. and it wasn’t bad at all. I’m washing it down with some raspberry/lime seltzer. I can’t wait to see if it works! 2/3/17
Wanda

Nathy

Dipak Patil
February 3, 2017 at 9:28 pmBesides all these health benefits of apple cider vinegar, it can also be use as Natural beauty products to enhance your hair and skin beauty. You can use it as a conditioner after shampooing your hair. The alpha hydroxyl acid content in ACV help to cure your skin from acne and pimples.
KIm
February 3, 2017 at 10:32 pmI lost 5 lbs in the last 2weeks using the apple cider vinegar, 2 teaspoons twice a day. I mix it with a 1/2 cup water and drink it, once in the morning and then evening before dinner. It has been staving my appetite. I have not been craving sweets.
Nash
February 3, 2017 at 11:24 pmHi , where can I buy it ?
Nava
February 4, 2017 at 8:31 amYou can also order Bragg on Amazon, and most natural foods stores (and even some large supermarkets with natural foods sections) carry it.
LeaAnne Mercalf
February 4, 2017 at 3:31 amNASH you can get BRAGGS at Walmart. I picked mine up tonight, starting tomorrow. My friend drinks hers with hot water and the natural unfiltered and raw honey. I weigh about 260ish, getting correct weight in morning. I hurt my back in 2012, and have a 10lb weight limit.
Let’s see what 2 weeks brings…..

February 4, 2017 at 12:33 pmIs it 2 teaspoons or tablespoons, everybody is different.
Kelly kent
February 4, 2017 at 3:33 pmDoes the hienz acv work the same?
Nava
February 7, 2017 at 9:47 amAs long as it’s raw and unfiltered (with “the mother” in it); but it’s good to use an organic brand if you’ll be taking it regularly.
Addison
February 4, 2017 at 6:49 pmSome great info on this page. I also did some research and found out there was a study in 2009 that supports the weight loss claims. Here’s a small extract from it: “At the end of the study, the people who drank one of the beverages with vinegar had less belly fat, lower triglycerides and waist measurements, and a lower body weight and BMI, compared to the no-vinegar group.”
I believe ACV combined with a good diet plan works well for fat loss. (Just don’t make the mistake of cutting out carbs altogether.) Contrary to popular belief you can eat lots of carbs and still lose weight. There’s a really good guide on this at: http://www.carbmethod.com
One other thing… if your teeth are sensitive, it might be worth drinking acv through a straw. (Apparently it can be quite harsh on tooth enamel.)
Maggie
February 4, 2017 at 7:24 pmI started last Sunday Jan 29 2017 I was waigthing 196 giving it time so I can waight my self next week !! I hope it work ive been drinking mine with only water and 2 tsp or avc

Good luck all.
Melissa Cadena
February 7, 2017 at 12:29 pmI have read the effects of acv is like a marathon not a sprint so don’t get discouraged if you don’t notice a change in one week. I have been doing this for six weeks and have already lost weight plus my digestive tract feels clean.
Kathy

Bobbi
February 7, 2017 at 11:26 pmCan I just take 1-2 tbsp of the ACV straight? Without diluting it with water? I’d much rather just get it over with quick.
v. siler
February 7, 2017 at 11:55 pmI wonder if you could drink acv with warm water like a tea, and still have positive results. I’m going to try the acv and water, with garcinia cambogia. I’m really looking forward to doing this.

Add 6-8 ounces of water. i did not like the taste at first. After a couple glasses, I now look forward to taking it and love the taste.

February 8, 2017 at 7:51 pmHere goes….. I will see how it works. I like to put about 25ml in a wine glass and fill with filtered water. It tastes no worse than a bad wine and i can have it socially with friends that drink wine so don’t feel like i’m missing anything other than the hangover the next day 🙂

Tabitha
February 10, 2017 at 12:40 pmHey everyone! I recently found at Smiths a juice variation made by Braggs. It looks almost like the Apple Cider Vinegar featured on the page but with added flavors! There are 3 flavors that I have found. Apple-Cinnamon, Pomegranate-Goji Berry and Concord Grape-Acia Berry. I havent tried them yet but Im excited to now that Ive read some of these comments. They are very low calorie drinks and low sugars. I particularly love that they are a christian based company and have the quote, ” Heres to Health,Peace and Love” 3 John 2 I want to wish everyone the best of luck and Ill post my progress soon 🙂
Frankie Caraballo
February 10, 2017 at 1:11 pmI have tried it, it does work. But keep in mind that the acid will break down the enamel on your teeth. So, I recommend using a straw to drink.
Tina

Liz
February 11, 2017 at 7:41 amHey Nava. I eat 6 small meals per day. Shall I have a small amount of ACV before each meal? Thanks
Liz
February 11, 2017 at 7:42 amOr is it best to just stick with the 3x/day recommendation?
Martha
February 11, 2017 at 11:03 amI’ve started my ACV today 2/11/17 hoping to loose weight by summer time. Do you loose 1 pound a week or what should we expect in order to determine it is working?
Donna M Powell

Susan

February 13, 2017 at 12:15 pmI bought mine yesterday and am about to start on this journey, I’m five feet six inches and weigh over 200lbs 🙁 I’ve been struggling for a long time to lose weight. So far I’ve started using Organic Agave Syrup instead of refined sugar to adding this to my regime may increase the results.
Martha
February 13, 2017 at 12:28 pmI’m starting tomorrow 2/14/17 I’ve tried everything so let see if this works I’ll keep you posted. Wish me luck
Kathy
February 13, 2017 at 12:42 pmI started 2/7/17. Down 2 pounds. Found that if I mix it with Diet 7 Up goes down easily.
I was holding my nose.
Chris
February 13, 2017 at 2:33 pmI’ve been doing this for about a week now, I started 02/08/17 and it’s 02/13/17. After just a week I’ve already lost 6 lbs. I just take 2 tbsp with 12oz of water as soon as I wake up weather it’s with food or not and 2 more times throughout the day just befor I eat. I’ve also been eating healthier so that probably has some play in it. So good luck everyone, I hope it works for you too.
Hamik
February 13, 2017 at 2:51 pmI see what people mean about suppressing appetite, this stuff definitely works. Instead of reaching for the biscuits, have a tablespoon of ACV 🙂
Hamik
February 13, 2017 at 2:52 pmKathy I haven’t thought about using soda. I will try it with diet 7 up
Victor
February 13, 2017 at 3:28 pm@Rina I agree…I mixed 1tbsn acv with 8oz water and 1 tbsn of raw organic honey…I must say it’s not bad at all
Patty
February 13, 2017 at 4:16 pmI tried drinking it with water last week, it was really hard to tolerate. Today I started again but mixed it with a little Wylers sugar free Pink Lemonade and I could barely taste it.
Maxune
February 13, 2017 at 5:26 pmWith warm water and two mint leaves is quite nice. I also added a tsp of Manuka honey.
Donna R
February 13, 2017 at 5:36 pmI started mine last week and my pants slide on so easy today and my stomach bloat is down tremendously.
mareta tekotia
February 13, 2017 at 10:10 pmis this true those is work
Tasia
February 14, 2017 at 12:35 amSo if I’m not so much dieting but I’m eating smaller portions do u think it will still help me. Also working out In the gym two to three times out the week, then I’m drinking more water now also.
Mia
February 14, 2017 at 12:41 amI bought my bottle today. Hopefully this works for me. Wish luck
David
February 14, 2017 at 2:53 amI just started this diet a few days ago but I weighed my self today. So It’s officially started. I’m at 257pds, so lets’ see how it goes.
Julea
February 14, 2017 at 9:56 amDonna I also found the same. Does wonders for stomach bloat
Julea
February 14, 2017 at 9:58 amPatty I think thats key to being consistent with acv every day. I couldnt stand it with water now I mix it with juice and its so much better.
Julea
February 14, 2017 at 10:03 amMareta someone posted part of a study to back up the weight loss claims so I think there’s good reason to believe this stuff works.
Terri White
February 14, 2017 at 10:40 amI am now starting this. It is hard to drink with a sour taste to it. But I weigh over 200 pda. And definitely need to loose a lot.I am desperate in ideas on making it taste better. I do like to know if I could just mix it in the food I eat instead of before I eat my meal.
Pam
February 14, 2017 at 12:17 pmI found that taking 2 tbsp ACV in 8 oz cold water and one squirt of lemonade water enhancer , and you can’t even taste it. Plus, the enhancer doesn’t have any calories. I take it 3 times a day.

kim
February 16, 2017 at 2:48 pmwhile taking this do u need to work out?
Lony
February 16, 2017 at 2:53 pmI’m sure it’s nasty all alone, but do you need to take with something else to get the benefits or can I choke down only the ACV amount before meals? Is the water to make you fuller before you begin eating or just to dilute the ACV?
Arias
February 16, 2017 at 4:49 pmI started drinking ACV in January but I just realized it was the wrong type (supermarket name brand) but I just started on 20-13-17 drinking the organic with “the mother” kind but I have to say that even with drinking the wrong kind, I have not felt tired since I started driving ACV, I have been loosing belly fat but I’ve also been working out. My stomach is definitely feeling funny this week, so I guess it’s working.
michelle sanders

Dee Dee
February 19, 2017 at 7:54 amMy husband and I drank our first dose with dinner last night. I will report back in a week. Is it 1/2 cup warm water with 2 tablespoons of the vinegar?
Emily M
February 19, 2017 at 11:04 amOk, so where did the honey and grapefruit juice come in?? It only says here to drink the ACV and water.. so how are you really supposed to do it?? Details please?
I’ve already lost 40lbs doing a diet my dr put me on..guess some have said it’s like the Atkins/south beach on crack..lol no carbs or sugars for two weeks then reintroduce slowly.. works AMAZING for me! Would like to use this as the final booster I need!:)
Thanks in advance!
Greg Kevakian

Jim
February 19, 2017 at 5:11 pmI’m starting the ACV with garlic cloves and honey today. It’s been steeping for 4 days as instructed. I’m doing this primarily in an attempt to lower my cholesterol. I recently had it checked at 275. If weight loss is also possible, great! I’ll check back in 1 month and share my results.
Hilder
February 19, 2017 at 5:21 pmFor those who can’t stomach ACV with water, you just need to mix it with something so you can’t taste it. If you have a blender, mix it in a smoothie and you shouldn’t be able to taste it at all. There are some good recipes at: http://www.10daycleanse.info – that overpower the ACV.
Usually the things that taste the worst, are the best for you. ACV definitely falls into that category lol.

My goal weight is 130 but I will settle for 135-140. I will keep everyone posted in two weeks.

Kerishia
February 21, 2017 at 10:42 amI started this on 2-19-2017. It is definitely not good tasting lol. But I’m gonna keep at it. I’ve actually gained a few pounds but Im hoping since it’s increased my appetite just a little I’ll lose it soon. I have noticed I’m not as bloated and gassy. I’m going to try and make a tea out of it with natural honey just so it doesn’t taste so bad.
John
February 21, 2017 at 11:23 amI started the acv dirink with welches pineapple orange and a Tablespoon of Honey. No taste at all. Heat the honey and acv in a small glass to dissolve the honey easier.

Benn doing it for 4 weeks now and have lost 13 lbs. thats with normal exercise also. I’m 6′ 310 was 323 shooting for 220 or 250.

I am starting today, it’s a hard journey mixed with light exercise and low calorie meals. I am off of sodas and trying to do the gluten free as much as I can.
It’s a new day… a new beginning. Good luck to all. I will check back in a month and give a progress report.

Kim
February 21, 2017 at 9:07 pmHey everyone,
I would really appreciate some feedback, I started with the apple cider vinegar on February 3, 2017; I take 2 Tbs. 3 times a day with 3 ozs. of orange juice and follow it up with either a 12 oz can of seltzer or 16 oz bottle of water with lemon and lime. I cut back on bread and incorporated more fruit and salad into my diet. I see that a lot of you have lost weight using the acv with and without change to your diet or exercise, I actually gained a pound! I also noticed my stomach has felt MORE bloated! Anybody else??? I would love some feedback and any advice I can get.
Thanks!
Jose Reyes
February 21, 2017 at 11:22 pmI just did it tonight with my husband gonna start doing it 3 times a day tomorrow along with my diet and exercise. hope you all get the weight your looking for.

Mama D
February 22, 2017 at 10:36 pmApple cider in tablet form may help with the stomach issue
Mama D
February 22, 2017 at 10:51 pmI too started the acv. Not seeing the results I expected But with the OJ and seltzer, you may be sabotaging yourself. OJ has a lot of sugar slight weight gain and the seltzer has the sodium, bloating. That could be causing the issues you’re having. Hope this helps.
Lucile

February 23, 2017 at 11:36 amI just started this also, I am 58 5 feet 6 and my weight is 185.
I want to get to a healthy 145-150
I find it gagging at most times, is the pill form as effective as liquid? Which juice low in sugar would be well mixed with?
I have already changed my eating habits, now just want to see it work!
sam
February 23, 2017 at 2:21 pmIve been drinking ACV and water daily for about 2 months. I haven’t dropped massive amounts of weight because I still eat junk. But I have gone down from 175 lbs to about 168.

February 23, 2017 at 3:24 pmThanks for the info. My coworker is a very fit lady and swears by this. She takes 1-2 teaspoons with a tablespoon of honey twice a day. I am excited to try this out. I read all the benefits, so even if I don’t lose because of it, I think it will help with my health! 🙂
Diana
February 23, 2017 at 9:02 pmI just started on this before meals. Really curbed my appetite. I put one teaspoon in a cup of hot tea. I’m already sugar free so it’s somewhat bitter but it does the job. I would think adding honey to the tea would make it taste better but I’m sticking to my no sweets. However others may want to try it. I figure I’m not eating as much so that’s gonna help me lose weight. Let’s all hope for good results
Bonita
February 23, 2017 at 11:55 pmI was180 lbs last week. Today i’m down 8 lbs by eliminating sugar, bred and meats. Starting tomorrow I wii take the ACV before my 2 meals. I want to fit the new outfits I just purchased that are perfect for my body when I’m 165 lbs. I need to lose a total of 15 lbs to get there. Thanks for all the useful comments.

Aleah
February 24, 2017 at 12:56 pmI’may 43 and 186 lbs. Two weeks ago I was 191 lbs! Check out Thomas Delaurer’s early morning drink on YouTube. It’seems with the apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, and cayenne pepper. I added turmeric for the anti-inflammatory properties. This is the easiest diet ever. I have tons of calm energy, and am just hopping it continues to work. I’don’t like to get back to the 120s in pounds. 🙂
Nana
February 24, 2017 at 2:54 pmI had the bartric surgery and I would like to know if I can drink the acv also to help speed up the process.
Stephanie
February 24, 2017 at 6:14 pmI just started today. I had one drink in the morning on an empty stomach one couple water 1 teaspoon of raw honey and 1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar. To be honest, it’s very bitter and kind a hard to get down. I just made another one this time I’m using Green tea hot 1 teaspoon of the vinegar and 1 teaspoon of the raw honey. This method is going to be the way I drink this. You can still taste a slight bitterness but not nearly as bad if you just mix it with water. Hope this helps!

February 26, 2017 at 9:42 amTry putting the ACV on your salad if you can’t stand it in the water. I am drinking it mixed with hot water like a “tea”. Trying not to put the honey in it though that is tough. I need to lose 20 lbs. Good luck everyone!
JEANNIE HENSLEY
February 26, 2017 at 12:01 pmI also recently started the apple cider diet im hoping for great results im 45 years old and noticed over the years that the pounds pack on and really hard to get rid of,,im watching what I eat now and cut out all junk foods and sodas lets hope this is a win win for me,,,fingers crossed…..

February 26, 2017 at 2:27 pmI just started ACV. I weigh 150 and would like to get down to 135. Not sure how long this will take but I hope to be down by the middle of May. Is that reasonable? I am 80.

February 26, 2017 at 6:59 pmI started my apple cider diet this morning -the taste was so terrible but I know people who have been on this for a lifestyle and I decided to start!thd taste stayed in my mouth all day but I also noticed I was not picking all day either ! I will be 50 in May boy I pray that drinking this and a healthy diet will make me drop sizes ! I am 224 pounds I will keep you all posted! Good luck everyone ✅
Lori Wintersteen
February 26, 2017 at 10:59 pmI must be the strangest person out there because I like the taste. I can’t say if this is helping lose weight because I have been working on my weight for a year. But started this two weeks ago and noticed a ten pound drop in my weight. I have never had a problem with what I eat or the amount. It is the soda that kills me and I can’t seem to break that habit. But for the first time since I was in high school I am down to 190 pounds and feeling great.
Tammie Williams
February 27, 2017 at 12:16 amA week ago Thursday I was 199.8 lbs. I have stopped eating anything after 8 pm and drink 1 small shot glass of Bragg ACV and a glass of water to wash it down with right before bed, checking my weight before bed and wake in morning daily and weighed in at 188.6 this morning 2/26, I have honestly lost 11 lbs in little more than a week. I eat a lot more fruits and vegetables but enjoy them more and have better control around snacks that I used to eat regularly that was stored in my desk at work (now removed). The taste of ACV is pretty harsh, but seeing the results I’ve accomplished keeps me on track.

February 27, 2017 at 11:04 amI am 24 5’4 210 lbs after i had my daughter i gained 50 lbs. I really want to lose them do so I will be trying this diet. Is the shot followed by water safe?
Rob
February 27, 2017 at 12:56 pmAll of my life I have been overweight. I was the fat kid in school and it was a task to go through. I never knew why my body held so much weight. I have tried every diet almost imaginable. One thing caught my attention and that was the natural way. Apple Cider Vinegar changed my life. I found some information on weight loss without medicine or crazy lifestyle change, and I loved it. Every morning I awake I see a little more weight falling my body and my clothes are getting lose on me and I love it. It was very simple, I followed a simple formula and it worked. You can check it out here http://bit.ly/2lYouwh . I wish everyone with a weight problem can find the answer to change their lives. Stay strong and keep up the good work and thank you for this information.

February 27, 2017 at 9:11 pmI have been doing it for 2 weeks today as well as exercising stepping in place to equal 5 miles. I started at 2 minutes at a time every 15 to 20 minutes. I now am doing 3 minutes at a faster pace and then slower for 3 more minutes. I am 4’11” and over a 100 pounds overweight. My goal is 150, even though charts show 95. I am not 15.

February 28, 2017 at 7:43 amI to have started this. I am 55 and always been fit and trim ,one day I woke up and looked in the mirror and asked who is that person. I am not looking to be super model. I would however like to be Healthy and Fit. We all know that fast food sports work and life in general can make are eating habits very bad for us. I will keep you posted on my progress what working and what’s not. I hear many success stories but they never share what they did to get there. No magic drink or pill . Just have to be determined and hard work. I wish all of you best of luck and much success on your journey to get there. ” Always remember to love yourself, and one day at a time. 🙂

February 28, 2017 at 10:17 amIs it OK to take it with nothing else. I find it easier to get down if I just take a shot of it
Asla
February 28, 2017 at 8:41 pmSally, apple cider vinegar is very acidic. I think it’s better if you at least dilute it 50/50 with water or your preferred beverage. Also, consistency is key. If you take it every day you will eventually start to see the benefits of ACV. For weight loss, it will work better with a proper diet plan.I buy a litre bottle of ACV and it seems to last forever. Also I’m pretty sure it never expires either!

March 1, 2017 at 9:42 amHeard about this from friend last night. I decided to give this a try. I cut out soda on New Years Day and lost 10 pounds. This morning I had my first 8oz glass, just chugged it down. Then put a piece of gum in my mouth. I made a bottle to last through the day. Any helpful hints appreciated
DEE
March 1, 2017 at 12:26 pmI stared ACV 2 days ago and I keep you posted with my weight lost
Juli
March 1, 2017 at 1:52 pmI started using ACV to help with acid reflux. I did not consider it for weight loss. It worked for both though. After a few weeks I am no longer using my prescription medication for acid reflux and I have lost 11 pounds. Cool thing is, I have not craved any sweets and I am a known chocoholic. I am actually wanting more healthy alternatives. Best to drink with a straw and rinse your mouth with water afterward since it is so acidic and might be rough on the teeth after continued use. They also make capsules.
Arianna
March 1, 2017 at 4:56 pmGreat taste diet one of my favorite: Roasted sweet red pepper recipe. Take 3-4 sweet bell pepper and roast them (I have electric range glass top and just put the peppers directly on rotating for each side when turn black). After pepper is roasted, let cool then scrape the burn off and put in a deep dish. Separate make a mixture of 6oz water + 2tbs ACV + 1spoon honey(or 1/2 spoon sugar if you prefer).
Pour the mixture over the roasted peppers and place in refrigerator for few hours. Eat the pepper as a snack when feel hungry. The vinegar mixture will actually taste good so you can drink it with the snack. I usually make a batch of 4/day and eat mostly at night when I want to go for that bag of chips or sweets. I also use the same mixture for my salad, it makes me feel more full and less hungry.
Kim
March 1, 2017 at 10:15 pmI started using the Apple Cider Vinegar on February 3, 2017, I just finished my first bottle. Sadly I have not lost a pound! I do take it 3 times a day with an ounce and a half of orange juice and follow it up with no sodium seltzer or a bottle of water with lemon. I cup my soda intake to 1 7.5 oz can of Coke a day and started eating a lot more fruit. I will admit I feel better and I find that I have a lot more energy than usual but I haven’t lost a pound! I will continue taking the ACV for the other health benefits it offers but I’m not holding out much hope for weight loss as a benefit. I’ll let you all know if anything changes.
Jenn
March 1, 2017 at 11:31 pmI started to slowly take the acv putting one teaspoon in glass of water for two days then I started to use teaspoons for two days tomorrow I start three a day I will let you all know but also am now drinking 2 litre of water daily wil let you know if it dies what it suppose to do
Marta
March 2, 2017 at 6:25 amHi,
Thanks for a great article. Now I know why I always crave acidic food when I am low in iron.
I wonder how long before meals should I drink ACV? Should it be like hour or right before?
Thanks in advance!
KC mitchel
March 2, 2017 at 7:35 amACV will help you loose weight, no doubt. But do not take it with orange juice. Come on, juice is sweet and has CALORIES!!!!!. Calories make you gain weight gosh. Do not add anything sweet to it. Just take it with water. Water is neutral. I have lost 25 lbs. And if you just walk 15 on a treadmill, it will accelerate your weight loss guarantee. This 25 lbs that i lost were in less than a month. Just ACV three times a day WITH WATER (take it like a man) and walk 10 on a treadmill and pooof. Just dont find ways to sugar coated. ACV with water.
Lisa P
March 2, 2017 at 8:40 amKim
I think that your weight loss might have been hindered by your intake of juice with it. I’ve heard lots of ways to drink it but the healthiest way I think is with water. The sugar intake from the juice can’t be good. I think it just makes the taste better , not better for you. Try it with cold water and not juice and see if that helps in weight loss. Good luck !!!
hfiers
March 2, 2017 at 12:35 pmMy wife and I have been on a weight loss program for 2 weeks. Heard about ACV and have incorporated this in our program. BUT, the key to weight loss includes diet and exercize. We go to the gym 3 times a week. We also follow South Beach Diet meal plans, which really make sense once you understand glycemic control. Using these 3 together makes our program very easy. Not hungry, feel great (we are both 68), and losing weight. Our first goal is 12 lbs in 6 weeks (half way there).

March 2, 2017 at 2:55 pmI am going to try it for the first time.

March 2, 2017 at 5:29 pmI’m trying ACV to try and lose weight. Today is my first day. I’m glad I read about rinsing you mouth out after use, keep you informed on weight loss.
Carrie
March 2, 2017 at 9:39 pmI am excited how this has worked. I have been struggling with acid reflux ever since I had my youngest 5 years ago. I have heard about drinking ACV to help with the AR and how it may help loose weight. I’m not sure if it’s just one or the other, but combined with drinking a product I found to keep my body in ketosis and using the ACV to detox my body, I have gone down a pant size in two weeks. I’m thrilled and now have the energy and motivation to exercise which I have not felt in a long time!! I know there are amazing benefits to the ACV and also the many benefits to having your body in ketosis!! I have been drinking my Ketones first thing in the morning and a glass of ACV with honey, another combo at lunch and the AVC with honey just before dinner…I’m thrilled with the results!! 🙂

Minh
March 4, 2017 at 4:37 amFor some reason after taking this, my body feel a lot lighter. My blood pressure went down and i gain a lot of weight. I didnt lose any weight, instead i gain a few pound after taking this. My body bulk up with muscle that i think i didnt have. Somehow this change the hormone in my body. So glad my wife push me to take this with her. Still kicking and screaming trying to drink it down.
Minh
March 4, 2017 at 4:44 amFor some of you who say you look bloated after taking it. My wife look the same way. She didnt realize that everything else shrink but her stomach that is why she look bloated. Do some stomach exercise to slim down.
Robert oetjen
March 4, 2017 at 10:24 amI’m just getting started in this ACV diet. Can you use this in any drinks like sweet tea, tea with honey in it??
Nava
March 4, 2017 at 12:05 pmRobert, you can put ACV in all types of drinks; we even have a new post about it: http://www.vegkitchen.com/tips/healthy-eating-tips-tips/apple-cider-vinegar-drinks-for-health-and-energy/ — though keep in mind that any fruit or sweetening like honey will add to your calorie count and may counteract the weight loss action. Seems like those who’ve had the best luck with the ACV diet are the ones who bravely chug it in a glass of water a half hour before meals. That being said, any ACV you add to your daily regimen is a healthy habit to keep in your life.

March 5, 2017 at 10:17 amI just started the acv diet on Friday. I put 2tsps in warm water and add a cambogia garcina
capsule to it. I am 48, wI’ll update to let you all know if weight loss happens.
(Oh, I was only taking this in morning aND before bed, but will try the before meals and drop using capsules.
Barbara
March 5, 2017 at 1:09 pmI usually do not comment or post; however, I had to respond to Kim. You need to be drinking lots of water, (five 16.9 ounce bottles a day) do not drink any Coke-it is loaded with bad sugar, and fruit is OK, but one fruit a day is all you should have. Even though fruit is natural, it still contains many grams of sugar which can lead to weight gain. Water and lean protein with the AVC should help you lose weight! Good luck.

KC
March 5, 2017 at 5:01 pmWHY can no one who has had success with this simply add details about HOW MUCH and WHEN they drank the stuff??
“My sister lost 20 pounds in a month with this!” Super, but WHAT dosage and WHAT times of day?
Reading through all these comments, and very few add such details. Useless accounts without the details.
Jackie Lynn Fuss
March 5, 2017 at 6:50 pmI am starting my ACV tonight March 5th know that you need to drink 8oz of water with 1or2 table spoons of ACV No Sugar drinks or orange juice. I weigh 204 and want to get down to 120 wish my luck.

March 5, 2017 at 10:32 pmI started AV 7 days ago and I have lost 3 Pounds. I use 1/2 lemons juice, honey and 2 tablespoon of ACV in 8 ounces when I get up in the AM. I try to exercise 3 time a week. You need to brush your teeth after You drink your ACV.

March 6, 2017 at 11:04 amI been using ACV for 2 weeks now and so far I have lost 15 pounds! 2 teaspoons ACV + Milk for me. I still eat the same food I always do, its just I eat smaller portions of it now. It either kills my appetite or I just eat once the whole day. I don’t drink soda pops only water all day and coffee in the mornings. Was 255 when I started now 240.

March 6, 2017 at 10:54 pmI added some yesterday to my green tea but I wasn’t consistent in taking it before each meal. I will begin before each meal tomorrow. I will add to water.
Jill B.
March 7, 2017 at 12:32 amIf you take too much ACV at once it will act like a laxative within a couple of hours! Don’t take more than 1 Tablespoon (3 teaspoons) at one time!! It does kill your appetite. Take 3 times a day before meals. It’s very good for you and has many beneficial properties.
Rish
March 7, 2017 at 8:47 amI like to squeeze 1/2 a lemon in with the ACV water. I’m not going to lie, it doesn’t taste great but both ACV & lemons are packed full of goodness. Try not get too obsessed with the weight loss side of things and just be consistent. It’s worth checking out: http://www.acvbenefits.com if you’re not convinced. I think many people stop taking it before the benefits happen. Take it 3x/day for 6-8 weeks and then report back.
B. Bolton
March 7, 2017 at 9:49 pmIt definitely works. I use it 3x a day but I sometimes poop my pants. Worth it though.
Beth
March 8, 2017 at 8:39 amI have been using ACV for about 2 weeks now. I was 215 and now 211. I know that is not a lot but everyone keeps saying how good I look as if I’ve lost 20 lbs. I use 2 tbs with water 3 times a day. I’m now starting to exercise, walking 2 miles a day. I hope this helps with losing more. I will keep you posted on my success in about a month.

Joy
March 9, 2017 at 9:12 pmThe ACV should be unfiltered, or have “the mother” in it. I mix 1oz in 7ounces of diet apple juice (like Crystal Light) and it is very tolerable
Mar
March 9, 2017 at 9:44 pmI will start tomorrow let see how it goes
Danisha
March 10, 2017 at 12:31 amI have used a tablespoon of ACV and small cup of water off and on for at least 6 months. Along with no longer drinking pops, I lost about 25 pounds. Everyone keeps saying how I’ve lost so much weight. I need to get more consistent and change my diet more so I can see a bigger difference.

AJ
March 11, 2017 at 8:28 amAJ- I’m starting this today because it’s a Saturday and as I’ve seen others say they poop their pants,well if that’s gonna happen at least I’ll be home for the weekend!
Currently a high functioning and whooping 360 pounds! I know I can’t believe it! I daybreak I mean miserableness and wanna lose but I never do much about it! I WILL report back weekly
James
March 11, 2017 at 10:00 amI take 2 tbsp with 1 whole squeezed lemon, local honey and Cayenne pepper mixed in about 10 oz water every morning 1st thing. Ive been doing it a week so far. The cayenne and honey makes it not so bad. I have a cup of coffee made to go right behind it so I don’t keep tasting it.
Kendra
March 11, 2017 at 12:33 pmWhat other liquids/drinks can I mix with acv to make it taste a bit better? I hear cranberry juice is ok, any other ideas?
Nava
March 13, 2017 at 9:10 amKendra, you can definitely mix with other liquids and make drinks, but I’m not sure it will have the same weight loss action as ACV mixed with water. You’ll get the health benefits, though, and that can only be a good thing! Here’s an entire post with apple cider drink recipes and ideas: http://www.vegkitchen.com/tips/healthy-eating-tips-tips/apple-cider-vinegar-drinks-for-health-and-energy/

March 11, 2017 at 2:23 pmStarting today. But slowly 1 spoon in. Water once today then at supper. Trying it for 2-3 weeks. See how it goes
Yolonda
March 11, 2017 at 5:25 pmI just started this today and I mixed mine with raw honey and grapefruit juice. It doesn’t taste that bad.
BDN
March 12, 2017 at 9:25 amUmm #9 why would you do this while your pregnancy first of all LOL you can’t do it while your pregnancy it’s RAW cider means UNPASTEURIZED! Watch what your doing for your unborn child and focus on it not you! I have a 6 month old focus on YOU later! But anyways I did it in the morning and it was helping but had no idea you have to do this with every meal it should definitely work :)!
Donna
March 12, 2017 at 5:38 pmI’m just wondering if someone is on a blood thinner, a water pill and metoprolol, is it ok to use this ACV everyday? Thank you in advance for answering. P. S. I need to lose weight so that I can have knee surgery. My Dr. wants me to lose about 75 pounds and it’s very hard to excerise with a bad.
Nava
March 13, 2017 at 9:08 amDonna, this is definitely a question you should ask your practitioner or a Registered Dietician. We’re not qualified to give medical advice. Good luck!

Galina Bondar
March 14, 2017 at 2:30 amIf some of you can’t loose weight by using account than here is the best recipe.1/4 cup of acv before meals 3 times a day.And when you lost weight by your goal,1 table spoon before meal 3 times a day
Nava
March 14, 2017 at 8:56 amGalina, conventional wisdom tells us that 1/4 cup ACV at a time is too much; harsh on the stomach and teeth. Generally 1 tablespoon in a cup of liquid is sufficient.
Dora Rodriguez
March 14, 2017 at 3:32 amTrying out today for the first time i made a mistake and went 1/2 cup of apple cider vineger and 1/2 cup of warm water and drank it with a straw non stop man that was rough. Found out i did it wrong. And my daughter knowing and laughing behind my back. Shes ain’t right.
Latoyia Johnson
March 14, 2017 at 5:40 amI’m starting this tomorrow,I bought 2 bottles of this. I am going to give it a shot. Nothing else seemed to work, so hopefully this does. I will also try a workout that I’ve been dying to do, I’m always on the go. I’m 206lbs now. I’ll post results in a couple of months to update my progress.
Beth
March 14, 2017 at 1:01 pmDo you all use Braggs or just regular ACV. If so which is best to use?
john
March 14, 2017 at 2:09 pmAll,
This works, but remember, the 1st cup of it should be done when you wake up in the A.M on an empty stomach.
Then before lunch & Dinner.
Cut it with water, the purpose of it is to get the ACV absorbed by the body as quick as possible. Using “sugar free” (galactose, ethyl maltol, dextrose, dextrin,saccharin,sucralose, etc) is defeating the purpose of the ACV. Don;t make your body breakdown anything unnatural.
Heres my recipe
8oz cold water
1/2 lemon squeezed
2 tablespoons ACV (Braggs unfiltered)
small squirt of local raw honey.
Barb
March 14, 2017 at 5:40 pmI’ve been doing 2 tbsp. of Braggs 2 X’s a day for a week and a half but haven’t lost any weight, Do I have to do it with a cup of water? If so, I’m only doing it with about 3 tbsp. of water. Maybe that’s why it isn’t working. I’m trying to do shots of it as opposed to diluting it with water.
Lucy
March 15, 2017 at 1:14 amI started last week and I lost 2 lbs already! I mix it with my drink with greens in it and it’s amazing!
Harsh
March 15, 2017 at 9:07 amVery nice article! I also facing lots of problem with my weight. This article helps me lot. Thanks for sharing this helpful guide.
Tiffany Hughes
March 15, 2017 at 10:48 amI have been thinking of trying this for the last couple of weeks but the i cant get past the smell. Would it be possible to take as a shot with some juice or something to cut the taste and then chase it with a glass of water? My husband and my mom can drink it with water, lemon and honey but i just cant get past the smell.
Nava
March 15, 2017 at 11:53 amTiffany, try mixing it with tomato juice, regular or spicy. You’ll hardly detect it!
Carol
March 15, 2017 at 11:34 amI mix mine with low calorie orange juice or pineapple juice. It cuts the taste and makes it very tolerable.
Charles Hagan
March 15, 2017 at 12:04 pmI’ve been doing it now for about 2 weeks. I do about an 1/8th of a red solo cup and mix it with a little low sodium V8 juice. Taste great.

Nancy Martin
March 18, 2017 at 5:05 pmDoes anyone have an answer as to what to take for belly pain after the apple cider vinegar and water or does the tummy get used to t ?????
Jessica
March 19, 2017 at 10:48 amI started the 2 teaspoons of acv today. I had to down a ton of water to get the taste and burn out of my mouth and throat. It made me nauseous. So I drank cranberry juice and then ice tea and ate a cereal bar to get the taste and nauseous feeling away. Hopefully it works. What else should I do?
Crystal Sedore
March 19, 2017 at 12:59 pmTry drinking the acv in Orange juice. It tastes pretty good.
Adrienne
March 19, 2017 at 4:07 pmthe burn in your stomach and the nausea will go away n you’ll get used to it. Also, I’ve been doing it for a month now, I take the two teaspoons of vinegar, immediately drink a 16 oz glass of cold water with a dash of cayenne pepper n a dash of cinnamon before each meal. I drink water throughout the day with the cayenne n cinnamon and sometimes sliced lemons and cucumbers. Very refreshing. I’ve lost 8 pounds already.
tommy reynolds
March 19, 2017 at 6:33 pmI take a drink straight from bottle, about 2 tab, spoon worth
Parker w
March 20, 2017 at 5:53 amOk best way to use acv is to drink iced tea sweet preferably and put honey in it use a standard mason jar as your glass and portion fill the bottom with honey a few millimeters tall full the jar half full with ice then the tea and 3 to 4 teaspoons of the acv honestly it won’t taste great but you want to lose the weight you got to suck it up an drew down the drink 30 min before every meal
TRENNY
March 20, 2017 at 6:43 pmstarted today with 1 teaspoon with water before each meal..start working out tonight also..good luck to everyone.
Winn
March 20, 2017 at 10:44 pm@Crystal Sedore
I wouldn’t recommend using a juice to mask the taste, if the purpose of drinking the ACV is weight-loss. On average a cup (250ml) of Orange juice has 5 teaspoons of sugar, which is more than a healthy daily allotment of pure fructose which really doesn’t do anyone any good.
Susan M Benson
March 21, 2017 at 5:45 amI drink 8 oz of water with a half tsp of cinnamon, 2 tsp of ACV and 1 Tbsp of Honey and juice from half of a lemon. Drink it before I go to bed and before lunch. Lost 6 lbs in a week and NOTHING else has worked.
Syed Sarkar Naqvi

Laura
March 22, 2017 at 7:03 amJust started this as well before breakfast and before bed. Using Tablespoon per 6-8 oz of water with packet of trivia. It does make me gag, but gonna stick with it. would love to hear thoughts about best times of day.
Ann Marie
March 23, 2017 at 3:19 amI boil 8 oz of water, with 1 inch of ginger sliced into 4 pieces. After it boils, then I put 2 tsp of AVC mix it in and drink it like a hot tea. It taste great, does not make me gag. You could also use the powder ginger. You could also put 2 tsp of fresh squeeze lemon juice. Some people like it cold. The lemon juice will be good if you like it cold. Don’t use anything sweet it defeats the purpose. It will still send you to the bathroom. That is good, because it is giving you a good clean out. Getting rid of all the old waste. Drink a lot of water through out the day. I tried taking it at night, and did not fall asleep until 4 hrs later. I tossed an turn all night long and could not sleep. I was exhausted the next day. I want to try at night again when I don’t have to work the next day. Good luck to all of you. I hope we all will be successful in losing the weight we want.

March 23, 2017 at 5:33 amStarted today hope to lose 20 lbs.
Rob
March 23, 2017 at 6:31 pmStarted ACV yesterday. Made a mistake and took 2 tbsp with 8 ozs water. Gagged it down and then had no appetite but I did have energy. Forced myself to eat, got hungry about 12 hours later. I’m not eating any sugar or using sweetener or dairy since I’m lactose intolerant. I’m cutting the ACV down to 2 tsp with water today and see what happens
Elane
March 23, 2017 at 6:51 pmI started this week and have been doing it with 4 oz water and 4 oz pineapple juice and 1 tbls of acv. I can not taste it at all. I also drink a lot of water all day.

Holy Moley, I’m loving this!!!

Jayliz63
March 24, 2017 at 12:52 pmI have been using apple cider vinegar for ages. I use it when making stock, for mint sauce with lamb and sprinkled on fish and chips etc. Today I have started to use before meals. I do have some weight to lose, probably about 15-20 lb would be good. Dr Eric Berg suggests 1 teaspoon ACV, 1 teaspoon lemon juice and 1 teaspoons of proper cranberry juice added to a glass of water. The taste is pleasant I think. Dr Berg did say if you find it awful, you may not need it. (interesting)
Lameika
March 24, 2017 at 5:11 pmThank you for all of your suggestions. I’m going to start tomorrow. I wish everyone well.

Kathy Groendal
March 25, 2017 at 9:16 amI drink ACV all day in my water I love it. I sometimes add cucumbers it’s so good. The taste of ACV in my water I drink it all day. I usually drink about half cup to 1 cup everyday. I lost 10 lbs really quick so I’ve played but I’ve learned to eat healthy and not eat after 6 pm.im so satisfied and love my new life habits. So many people are doing the same thing and some can’t do it so it’s per person but I love ACV all day. Good luck to all.

March 27, 2017 at 11:38 amI think regular ACV works better than Bragg. Seems to take hunger away, however, I still make myself eat healthy throughout the day even if I’m not hungry for it.
Samantha
March 27, 2017 at 8:43 pmI’ve been drinking 1tbsp ACV in 8oz ice water before meals for 3 weeks now. I’ve lost 10 lbs
Amanda Bittner
March 28, 2017 at 12:01 amI’ve been taking ACV for a long time and it won’t work if your not doing something like exercise. Exercise will help it as well with the ACV.
TA Lamb
March 28, 2017 at 10:48 amI usually use 2 Tbs ACV IN 3-4 oz of well grade vodka or gin, after a few sips I don’t care what it tastes like. I don’t really care about anything. It’s a diet I can stick to.
Cheers.
Lin
March 28, 2017 at 1:51 pmAwesome article, Im excited to try this.
Lin
March 28, 2017 at 1:54 pmAmanda I agree that exercise helps but its mainly your diet. You can run an hour on a treadmill and burn maybe 500-700 calories. That’s equivalent to not eating a burger.
Royal, A
March 28, 2017 at 5:52 pmHello everyone. I’ve just started drinking ACV as of 03/27/17. My mixture consist of Vinegar, Lemon Juice, Ginger, Cinnamon, Cayenne Pepper and Honey. I had watched my Grandparents and my Stepfather drink ACV for years while I was a child. So I believe there is something healthy about consuming ACV. I am trying this for overall health reason as I have High Blood Pressure and need to lose weight. In reading some of the comments, it is true that exercise and nutritional health are benefactors. I have been a yo-yo weight loser for the past Thirty years. I have always been able to lose 30-50 pounds fast with exercise when I was a younger person. In fact, I can still do it now whenever I make up my mind to get it done. The problem is it always have come back. I am attempting this method to assist me with keeping it off as well as losing it at a slower pace. I am trying to drink at least three eight oz servings daily. I just finished my last serving around 1730 hours. Do not know if I will be hungry after or before bedtime. This will be a working progress. Good luck to all.
Paley Institute
March 29, 2017 at 2:50 amFirst of all, Thanks for sharing the benefits of Apple Cider Vinegar with us. I add ACV in my diet from last 1 month. And after that I go for exercise daily. These tips really help everyone who wants to lose weight seriously.
Anita Gilbert
March 29, 2017 at 11:45 amI’ve been on a 21 day “diet” of acv just to drop a few pounds gained through the winter. I’m on my 20th day. I’ve found my appetite is suppressed and I’m not wanting sweets or chocolate. I’m very impressed. I put 2TB ACV, a squirt of honey, 1/4 tsp of ginger,1/4 tsp.of cinnamon,and a squirt of stevia…not bad tasting at all..like the fact that is a pro biotic as well…no digestive issues

March 30, 2017 at 10:28 amInteresting that people are adding ginger, cinnamon, lemon juice etc. Haven’t thought about mixing these powerful foods altogether.
Reece
March 30, 2017 at 10:29 amDo you just put it all in one drink? Like a smoothie?
Steven Esteban
March 30, 2017 at 5:29 pmI take my tablespoon of ACV in suppository form. I got the cellulose capsules and fill them up beforehand.I have found that it is absorbed through the mucous membrane faster this way and no more burning tummy!
Yolanda
March 30, 2017 at 7:09 pmCan you use regular acv like a generic brand? Or does it have to be the braggs organic?
