I have always heard don’t knock something till you have actually given it a try. I have been doing some research on natural uses of Apple Cider Vinegar, and have read many articles about the Apple Vinegar Diet. So, I have been giving the diet a try for the last two weeks, and so far it has worked for me. I have lost ten pounds, and I am happy with the results.

The directions for the diet are as follows:

Take two teaspoons of Apple Cider Vinegar (Preferably Mother’s Vinegar) before each meal. The Mother’s Vinegar has not been put through the purification processes such as Heinz. The presence of the mother shows that the best part of the apple has not been destroyed. Vinegars containing the mother contain enzymes and minerals that other vinegars may not contain due to over processing, filtration and overheating. Be certain that you don’t purchase Heinz Vinegar for use with your diet, the active ingredients of the Mother have been removed and will not be as effective as the unfiltered vinegar. I tried the Heinz for two weeks and it didn't work for me.

Apple Cider Vinegar has been said to have more medicinal uses:

  • It has been said to help sore throats.
  • Cure the pain of mosquito bites.
  • Relieve body aches and pain.
  • It is also an effective treatment for chronic heartburn.
  • I have had GERD for the last fifteen years and I have been using a very popular purple pill for treatment this length of time. Now, at the first sign of heartburn I take two spoons of Mother’s Apple Cider Vinegar, and the pain goes away.

So is the Apple Cider Vinegar diet fact or fluff? I would have to say it has worked for me Give it a try and see what you think.

I also challenge you, do some research on the Internet for other medicinal uses of Apple Cider Vinegar. You will find your study very interesting.

I have been on this diet for two weeks and I have lost over 20lbs. I am also not as hungry during the day. I have found that I have a lot more energy as well. I have been working out for over two months, and this diet really took away some extra padding that was covering the muscles that I have been working on! I purchased Braggs ACV at a health food store as well as my local GNC. Not too sure if it would work if you are not watching what you eat and exerciseing, but if you really want to loose weight to KEEP it off, that is what you should be doing anyways.

"Shelly from Ada, OK Has anyone else became ill from drinking ACV? I've drink ACV before in the past and I has burnt my belly for a few hours although this morning I drink it upon arising and I became deathly ill. I got dizzy, broke out in a cold sweat, my mouth watered, and my belly was on fire although I never vomited. (I wish I could have!) I had to call in sick to work today? Any suggested as to why this happen to me?"
 
Hi Shelley - this has happened to me as well but it was because I drank it straight. Within 5 mins of drinking it I had intense stomach pains, dizziness, cold sweats - however I vomited and within seconds felt better. It was a year before i could dare to try ACV again - I couldnt even smell it without being ill!! Now I drink it 3 times a day as everyone here has suggested in 8 oz of water with 1 tsp of organic honey and have never experienced that again. Weight wise I havent seen the effects as yet but I am unable to excercise due to several injuries and used to be quite an active person so think that may be the reason.
 
Perhaps you need to use more water with yours to dilute it for your stomach.

hi Mike.  I know this post is old, but can you tell me what brand of Apple Cider Vinegar did you use...is Heinz good to use, or should it be organic (like Braggs)...I am hearing different opinions on it, but I wanted to ask you because you've had wonderful results.  Thanks.

Hi everyone! I went to my GNC today and the sales lady said that the Braggs ACV has been very popular. I started today, so I'm excited to see what results I'll have. (I also work out at Curves and follow the 11-day diet). I have two questions, when drinking hot water w/vinegar, can you add Splenda instead of honey? And also, tonite I mixed my vinegar with some Diet Lipton Green tea and served over ice... delicious! Do you think that the effects will still be the same?? Thanks everyone!

I would shy away from splenda or other artificial sweetners if you can.  Studies have shown the emptie calories in splenda and other actually made people crave food more, also splenda still spiked the insulin levels in the body. Personally, my best friend (47- female) stopped using splenda and switched to sugar in the raw (changed nothing else) and lost over 10 pounds.

Hey, I just started taking Apple Cider Vinegar today as advised by a friend of mine. He told me to drink it three times a day with a normal bottle of water, though he didn't specifically say how much of the Vinegar to use. He said something like a capful of the Vinegar, but I have been reading on here to do a tps in each bottle? Is this correct? I just don't want to use too much or too little. Please if anyone knows let me know, thanks. Also I just started taking seizure medication and would like to know if thats a problem? Though I wouldn't think it is. My friend who told me about this diet is taking it also and he also takes seizure medication. I am also taking multi-vitamin pills and fish oil pills. Any help will be appreciated, thanks.

In using the Vinegar I noticed that the urine is strong and a lot of the times my vaginal area is sensitive. Does anyone have any suggestions to help with this? Am I using too much? I was going with 2 TLBS. in 8 ozs of water.

Hi, I heard about the acv diet from my sistter and was wondering if it really worked. I've reviewed several websites and there are many different views on this. Regardless, I'm desperate and since Braggs acv is organic and only mixed with water I figured what the hell. I hope it works! I'll give it a month???

The ACV can kill Candida Yeast infection in your gut. The cleanse is very helpful and can lower your cravings for sweets. Combine with healthy diet and regular excersise and you can lose weight. A diet is a way of life, not a quick fix.
