Lose Weight With Apple Cider Vinegar
Apple cider vinegar (ACV) is a cherished natural remedy, used by many as a preventative and curative measure. It also holds an important place in the dieting world – scientific studies, as well as practical experiences, show that apple cider vinegar (ACV) can help you lose weight.
Vinegar is one of those substances that target the problem holistically, and it provides you with long-term solutions.
There has been some research about how ACV can help you lose weight. In 2009, The Bioscience, Biotechnology and Biochemistry journal published a study finding that drinking it for just three months caused significant declines in body weight, abdominal fat, waist circumference, and triglycerides.
It can also improve heart health. The vinegar contains malic acid which clears clogged arteries, lymph nodes, and organ tissues.
When applied to the skin, it can help eliminate acne, warts, and many other skin blemishes and discolorations. A lot of people add a touch of ACV to their bathwater in order to improve the health of their skin.
However, despite all the potential benefits of apple cider vinegar, it’s not a quick fix. If you’re looking to lose weight fast, then ACV is not right for you. Think of it as a marathon, rather than a sprint.
Read the guidelines below to learn how about taking ACV for weight loss.
Weight Loss Recipe:
- Add 2 – 3 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar into a cup of water. Add more water if the concoction is strong for you.
- Stir well and drink it.
- Alternatively, you can add it to fruit/vegetable juice or tea (make sure it is not too hot).
- You have to drink it 2 – 3 times in a day before meals.
- Rinse your mouth with water and baking soda, which helps to counteract the acidity in the mouth and protect your teeth.
Note: The recommended consumption of apple cider vinegar is 2 tablespoons per day. Excess consumption than recommended can lead to burning sensation and other discomforts.
When to take it?
The best time to drink acv for weight loss is 30 minutes before meals. Pectin present in apple cider vinegar suppresses the appetite. The acids present in it help with digestion of protein – building block for growth hormone. This hormone helps in breaking down the fat cells. By increasing the acid present in stomach before having meals, it helps in digestion and increasing the growth hormone synthesis.
I recommend taking a break every now and then to give your body a rest. You don’t want your body to get used to it and have the effects diminish over time. I try to take a week or two off after every 3 to 4 months.

Also, some research shows that prolonged use of cider vinegar may deplete the body of iodine. So, taking a break from cider vinegar may also help your body recover.
