A Healthier Leaner Me I CAN DO THIS with ACV!

by Rose
(Ontario, Canada)

I'm a tall woman that stepped on the scale 11 days ago and saw 254 lbs. so I've vowed to make a lifestyle change.

I don't have any special events coming up, I am not doing this because it's a new year or for anyone but myself...I've had enough of sitting down and feeling uncomfortable because my jeans were digging into my belly.

I've had enough of looking at this double chin every time I looked in the mirror.

I've had enough of these love handles and rolls of fat on my back.

Now on to the ACV...

I have used ACV quite often over the years for my hair and for my skin (toners and facial masks). I have used it for drinks as well but I was never consistent.

Although it's only been 10 days I am LOVING the changes so far.

First this is what I do...

In the morning I fill up a 32 oz. plastic cup that has a cover (the kind you get at sporting events) with room temp distilled water. I've been putting 2 tablespoons of Braggs ACV in it along with a half teaspoon of Manuka honey. I drink half the water.

Wait about 15 mins. then have breakfast (usually just a healthy cereal with rice milk and a piece a fruit or oatmeal with raisins.) I finish the rest of the water within the hour.

About an hour and a half later I workout at home for about 20 - 30 mins. doing a mixture of DVD videos and getting on my mini stair stepper. When I'm done working out I'll drink a glass of water eat a Nutragrain type bar.




Around noon I prepare another ACV/water cocktail and drink half of it. 15 mins. later I'll have lunch (something like a turkey salad with veggies and fruit). An hour later I'll do Pilates for about 15 - 20 mins.

For a mid-afternoon snack I'll have something like regular water, a homemade fruit smoothie, tea or chocolate milk (the powered kind but I use water) with unsalted cashews or crackers.

Fifteen minutes before dinner I'll finish the remaining 16 oz. of the ACV cocktail from earlier.

Doing this for 10 days has got me down to 244 lbs!!! That's 10 lbs. in 10 days folks!!! In the first 5 days I lost 7 lbs.! People have already noticed my weight loss too which inspires me further.

Although I have been going to the restroom like crazy and waking up in the middle of the night to go (both ways---sorry!) my mind is clearer, I have much more energy, all cravings are gone (I HAD a sweet tooth), my face and stomach are getting slimmer and my clothes are fitting much, much better! This is just a start though and I'm not stopping.

So along with drinking ACV (4 tablespoons per day) and drinking approximately 80 oz. of water everyday, what's been helping me is changing my mindset about food (eating to live not living to eat), getting active along with watching the calories. I am not starving myself or doing strenuous exercise.

I truly hope my words and/or routine helps someone out there.

Good luck!

Thank you!
by: Rose

Thank you for reading my story and taking the time
to post a comment!

You are so right about motivation and following through,
but I actually have acquired a taste for ACV.
I never
thought that would happen when I first started!

Good luck to you.

I'm shrinking!
by: Rose

I just past month 4. I'm taking ACV one week on and one
week off.
I am also not weighing myself often, but I have
dropped 3 dress sizes and everyone I know has commented
on my weight loss.
:)
I would like to add EVCO to my diet, but I'm having trouble
locating a brand that doesn't have a strong coconut flavor.

If anyone knows of any brand it would be appreciated! :-)

Still doing great :)
by: Rose

Thanks so much for reading my story and for your
positive
feedback Lorri!

As of March 9, 2012 I'm down 20 lbs. That's 20 lbs. in
2 months!

I'm still working out lightly and eating healthy, but I do
have
an occasional snack or sweet.

I'm still drinking ACV everyday because it gives me so
much
energy and helps a great deal with digestion.

Also, I've found that I'm doing better with ingesting
ACV/water AFTER meals not before.
I do add a splash of
fresh lemon juice
once in a while as well.
However, I believe staying consistent
is
the key!

Good luck everyone!

ACV after childbirth

by Lisa D
(Sudbury, Ontario,Canada)
Happy and healthy.
Happy and healthy.


French translation

After my second pregnancy which I gained over 60lbs in weight, I tried everything I could and within the first year afterwards I lost maybe 5lbs.

I heard of taking ACV and it's potential for weight loss so I would add about 4tsps of orange juice and 2 tbls of ACV and fill the rest with water a few times daily. I would consume on average 2 litres of water and kept my same eating habit/ exercise routine (30minutes/day min,) and within 6 months I've already lost 45 lbs.

It didn't change my appetite in anyway but I found I had more energy after I started loosing the weight and I'm no longer retaining water as much and the majority of my belly fat is no longer there.

I HIGHLY recommend this product.

I wish I had a before and after picture but I would not go near a camera with all my weight. My lifestyle is healthier and I'm much happier.

Regarding breastfeeding
by: Lisa

I wouldn't see why it would hurt since the product is completely natural. However, if you're breastfeeding, I'd mention it to your doctor/midwife just to see their thoughts on it. Another thing too that I wasn't aware of until now, is that if you're sensitive to acid it can make it worse. I've weaned myself off the drink because I've reached my goal weight but I am more sensitive to anything with a higher acidity but it's nothing a few Tums can't fix. To be honest, it's a small price to pay to have the weight gone and permanently. (this product was even on the Dr oz show so it is something I'm comfortable with)
