So, I have been hearing all kinds of good things about Apple Cider Vinegar (known as ACV) and how it helps with metabolism and weight loss. Not a lot of people drink it straight as it is not all that tasty, so I have been hearing a lot of how it is mixed up with other things. Today I tried it with hot apple cider. Basically, I mixed two teaspoons with the packed of spiced apple cider (shown below) and hot water. Verdict? Not bad. I must say, it is not a favorite, but I can tolerate it - especially for good benefits. I will try it other ways as well. I want to try it mixed up with Aloe Vera juice, and lemon/hot water. Others have suggested honey.
Apple Cider Vinegar and Weight Loss… How Much to Take?
Most apple cider vinegar weight loss home remedies, like the one investigated in Vermont by Dr D. C. Jarvis, M.D., call for the taking of one or two teaspoons of apple cider vinegar in a glass of water before each meal.
Patricia Bragg recommends adding 1 or 2 teaspoons of raw honey to this mixture.
Whichever way you take it, don't expect a rapid weight loss, the weight will be lost gradually, as it should be to allow the body's fat cells to adjust to their new size.
Apple Cider Vinegar and Weight Loss… How Does it Work?
It is generally believed that the nutrients, enzymes, and organic acids in apple cider vinegar cause weight reduction by acting as an appetite suppressant, by increasing your body's metabolic rate, by reducing water retention, and by helping you maintain a feeling of well being. No one is really sure how apple cider vinegar works to promote weight loss, but there is no shortage of theories.
Recent medical research has highlighted the connection between levels of insulin and weight loss. That coupled with the fact that vinegar is known to slow the rise of blood sugar after a meal leads to the suggestion that the taking of apple cider vinegar with a meal reduces the amount of insulin required to process the meal resulting in weight loss.
Apple Cider Vinegar and Weight Loss… How Long will it Take?
D.C. Jarvis, M.D.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.
He spent many years practicing medicine in Vermont and observing the effects of home remedies used throughout the green mountains.
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.
