Apple Cider Vinegar and Weight Loss… How Long will it Take?
 
DC Jarvis, MD spent many years practicing medicine in Vermont and observing the effects of home remedies used throughout the green mountains.
He found that apple cider vinegar was widely used for weight loss. In his popular book "Folk Medicine" he emphasized that the resulting loss of weight was gradual but permanent.
As a general rule, from numerous observations, he found that a woman of average height weighing 210 pounds will weigh 180 pounds after 2 years if she takes 2 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar in a glass of water at each meal.

That's 15 pounds weight loss a year, with no change in daily food intake, except avoiding excessively fatty foods.

 More recently, a four week experiment was conducted by professor Carol S. Johnston, a nutritionist at the Arizona State University East in Mesa, to further investigate the beneficial relationship between vinegar and diabetes.

As an unexpected side effect she found that her test subjects were losing weight!
They were taking two tablespoons of vinegar before each of two meals daily.The average weight loss over the four weeks was two pounds (several people lost up to four pounds) while a control group which did not drink the vinegar showed no weight change.

Apple Cider Vinegar and Weight Loss… Some Helpful Tips

Some people don't like the taste of apple cider vinegar in water. You can improve the taste of this drink dramatically the way I do, by using fruit or vegetable juice instead of plain water. Apple cider vinegar imparts a refreshing tartness or zing to a glass of orange or tomato juice.

Although weight loss is gradual when just using ACV, you should remember that it has the advantage of:
  • being a 100% natural product
  • producing a weight loss that tends to be permanent

You can speed things up dramatically however, by combining ACV with regular exercising, healthy eating, and drinking lots of water as described below:

More Potassium

Increase the amount of natural potassium in your diet over and above that obtained from regular use of apple cider vinegar.
Excellent sources of natural potassium include many fruits and vegetables.

To find out how much potassium you need daily, along with the best natural food sources for potassium, just click here.


Less Refined Foods

Reduce the amount of refined foods you eat and replace them with natural fruit, vegetables, and whole grain foods.
They contain much less fat, salt, and empty calories, and a lot more nutritious vitamins, minerals, and fiber that the body needs to function at its best.
Drink more Water

Water is vital for total health, after all, the body is 70% water. Water acts as the main transportation medium throughout the body for both nutrition and cleansing purposes. Drinking 8 glasses a day of filtered tap water, is recommended.
Exercise More

Regular exercise should be a big part of any weight loss program. All that's required is a brisk walk at least 3 times a week.

As with all new exercise programs, start off slowly and work yourself up to a point where you can walk 3 miles in about 45 minutes.
This way you will be toning and building muscles that will keep on burning fat even when you are at rest.

How ACV helped me to shed excess weight

by Karen
(Memphis, TN)


I didn't believe it and still don't know what is actually happening, but I lost 10 lbs the first week.

I quit using ACV at the end of the week because I got sick. Just in case it was caused by ACV and because I could not stomach it while sick, I quit.

My stomach is better so I am trying it again. After 1 day, I have lost 1/2 pound. I have no stomach issues at all so far.

ACV broke the plateau I was on, after 3 weeks of dieting and no weight loss. I thought it was just water weight, but after weeks of not using it, I have still maintained most of the loss. (still dieting).

I don't lose weight easily; so, this boost was a welcome one. I exercise and am trying a low fat diet. So far, it has helped.

I don't think it was a coincidence that both times I started ACV, the weight loss was immediate.

Ideas
by: SusieP

Hi, Karen! Thanks for sharing your story.
I am about to start the ACV "diet". A couple in our church said they mix 2 TBSP of Honey & 1 TBSP of ACV to a cup of water. They drink this twice daily and swear to its weight loss benefits.
My question to you is how do you take this? Do you mix it with water? Do you include honey?
I look forward to hearing back from you!

Congratulations
by: Rose

Congratulations Karen! I too found that taking ACV after meals not only was easier on my stomach, but I saw an increase of weight loss and a decrease of my stomach faster than when I took prior to eating.
I guess it's all about experimenting and seeing what works best for your own body!
Good luck to you and keep us updated on your progress. :)

ACV to lose weight continued
by: Karen

After my stomach got better I tried it again and my stomach got worse. I recommend eating before taking the ACV. It's really acidic.
 

With ACV slow and steady wins the race!

by Lorri
(San Tan Valley, Arizona USA)
That's me...
That's me...
French translation

I started taking ACV 17 days ago, on January 16th, 2012 and so far I've lost 7.8 pounds. I started out taking:

2 teaspoons ACV + 1 tablespoon lemon juice + 8 ounces of water before each meal.

Now that I've eased into the taste of the ACV, I've upped the dose to 1 tablespoon ACV and now I take it before each meal AND before bedtime. The current recipe is:

1 tablespoon ACV + 1 tablespoon lemon juice + 8 ounces water

Just so you know where I'm at:

**I'm over 40 years old and have over 50 pounds to lose. Last Spring I started working out with my husband in the morning and riding my bike quite a bit and despite my clean diet and all of the exercise I wasn't losing any weight and I wasn't getting toned either.

Was it hormones preventing the loss? A lethargic Thyroid? Years of yo-yo dieting? Too much Chardonnay? I don't know but I was demoralized by the fact that I wasn't losing weight so I rebelled and started gaining more! That'll teach me won't it?

**I gave up sugar YEARS ago and I don't use artificial sweeteners in their place.

**I have not increased my level of exercise which is to say that I don't exercise at all. However, I did have the urge yesterday to do some cross-fit type exercises and I actually DID them! Before you applaud you should know that it lasted less than 10 minutes and I'm sore as all get out today but still...I did it. :)

**My diet could be considered Lacto-Paleo.

**I melt 1 tablespoon of Extra Virgin Coconut Oil in just enough hot water to melt it and drink that before each meal as well.


The ACV that I use is Bragg's (because it's raw and organic; that's important). The EVCO that I use is from Nutiva though I've also had it from Tropical Traditions.

I hope this helps someone. :)

How do you handle eating out? Do you take the ACV and EVCO with you or take it before you leave?

more questions
by: Sue

Thanks for the update.. and congratulations on the continued weight loss.
I bought the ACV, but have not started with it yet. I'm a little worried about having heartburn or acid reflux from it. I'm also wondering if adding it to juice will change the benefits of it at all?
You have done a great job at losing weight. Have you changed your diet and exercise, or are you losing weight just as a result of drinking the ACV and EVCO?

Anonymous - I'm sorry that I forgot to reply to you!! :)
I'm hot sure what stores you have in your area but if you've got a Kroger family store, you'll probably be able to find it there, in their Organic/Health Foods section. Barring that, any local health food store should carry it and as a last resort, you can always order it online. I use Bragg's Raw, Organic, Raw, Unfiltered ACV. :)
As for how quickly you will see results; that I can't answer. Everyone is different so it may start working right away, may take some time or may not help at all. That sounds really depressing, I know, but it's the only answer I've got.

Anonymous with a headache:
I too had headaches for the first week to ten days and I attributed this to toxins leaving my system. I tried to ignore the headaches but they were nagging enough that I did finally take Ibuprofen.

I'm so glad that you've gotten started! How are things going?
Sue:

Courage
by: newbie

Thanks for the updates!
I purchased the organic ACV a few weeks ago but due to my fear of the taste, I have yet to try it.
But my fear of not losing weight is stronger! So I will start my regiment in the morning!
Thanks so much for the motivation!!

To Anonymous,
The brand does not matter, but you want to make sure that it's raw (unpasteurized), unfiltered, and organic.

UPDATE!!
by: Lorri

**UPDATE 02/09/12**
It's been another week and I'm down 2.2 more pounds for a total loss of 10 pounds in 24 days!
One change: I was starting to notice some stomach upset after drinking this 'tonic' and I suspected that it was the lemon juice so I cut it out and sure enough, no more tummy trouble. But...the weight loss continues!
The new recipe is:
1 tablespoon ACV + 8 ounces of water before each meal and at bedtime. Still taking 1 tablespoon of organic, extra virgin coconut oil melted in water before each meal as well.
I've noticed that my appetite is shrinking and I'm not sure what to attribute that to. Is it the ACV? The coconut oil? A combination of them both? Either way, I'm eating less but feeling fuller for longer.
So far, so good. :)
