Apple Cider Vinegar Diet
Apple Cider Vinegar is a tonic made by fermenting the juice of an apple. The apple is crushed, and the juice is squeezed out. The fermentation process occurs when yeast and sugar are added to the juice. A second process involves adding certain bacteria’s to the juice which will then form an acetic acid.
Folk Remedy
Apple Cider Vinegar has been used for many hundreds of years as a health tonic. Purveyors of the tonic claim that it will cure migraine headaches, diabetes, chronic fatigue, arthritis, high blood pressure and many other ailments.
There are a large number of health food manufacturers who tout this vinegar as a “miracle” healer. The sad truth is that there is very little evidence to prove any of these anecdotal claims. A nutritional breakdown of Apple Cider Vinegar shows that it is actually quite “bland” – rather than being the nutritional “storehouse” that marketers claim.
Apple Cider for Weight Loss
In the 1950s a country doctor in Vermont (Dr. D. C. Jarvis) wrote a book (Folk Medicine) that set the stage for Apple Cider Vinegar as a weight loss agent. He claimed that regular consumption of the tonic would cause fat to be burned rather than stored. Others claim that the pectin in the vinegar will bind cholesterol and remove it from the body.
However it is all conjecture – this supplement is harmless but is unlikely to offer many health benefits – and will absolutely not cause weight loss.
What people call the Apple Cider Vinegar Diet is simply the act of consuming 1-3 teaspoons tonic before each meal in the hope of losing weight. There is very little (if any) evidence proving that this is effective.

I did this diet last year and lost 10lbs in 2-weeks
Going back to it again and gonna try to stick with it 2- months.
My husband has a gout for almost three weeks his foot was swollen and very painful. He was on diet no meat at all (very hard to think what’s for dinner) he goes to work and come home very tired and sore. I search about remedies for gout and read about ACV. I went to the health store and bought a Bragg organic ACV and concentrate Black cherry. i tbsp of concentrate Blk Cherry and tbsp of AVC for one glass of water. He was doing this for one week now. Actually for two days we saw a result, his foot started to feel better and gout was just disappeared. last night I cooked a real chicken dinner with potatoes , He just so happy and loved ACV. he started to loose weight a little bit and we noticed his heart burn is gone.He always have heartburn . I really believed that ACV works its not just a myth but lots of people been cured for gout by the ACV. and of course we need to drink lots of water…Thank God for ACV..
I’ve used ACV for a couple years now. I combine it with 5-HTP which is a supplement which helps regulate appetite.
I chug down the ACV with 8oz of water before every meal and if I feel hungry at other times. Maybe its a placebo effect – but it helps me!
Good luck
I read through these post yesterday, went out and bought the Bragg ACV. I also started cardios and weights, so I’m hoping for the best. I am going to eat low sodium home cooked meals throughout. I really cant wait till the third week so I can be able to report on my weightloss.
However I think I just goofed. I used 2table spoons to 8oz of water yesterday and the same this morning with a drop of lemon juice. but drank about 64oz of water or more in that time. I think that may have been an overdose now. I’ll change it to 1 teaspoon to 8oz from tomorrow morning, and down 32 oz as follow up.
I find the taste bearable, so I am not adding any honey and intend to use it with lemon juice only with my first take each day.
My question here is, Is it better to down it all at once or sip it all day long. Some people say before meals, which suggest downing it all at once. Others say sip all day. How is it more effective and what is the recommended method of use?
Regards.
I’ve been drinking Bragg’s ACV+raw organic honey religiously everyday, 2-3 teaspoons of ACV to 1 teaspoon of honey before every meal. I’ve also cut down on snacking between my meals (used to always snack) and incorporated minimal exercise into my life (once per week for now because I’m having my exams). I no longer drink sweetened beverages, only been drinking water, unsweetened tea and coffee (This with sugar, around 3 times per week. Again, because I’m having exams and tea doesn’t keep me as awake as coffee). But I’ve yet to lose a single pound. Am i doing something wrong!!!
Please help, I’ve an important event to attend to in 2 months and would really love to shed off some fats. I’m 132 pounds and 160cm and would love to drop at least 11 pounds.
I have lost 30 pounds since march 3rd on a HCG diet. I have another 40 to go (started on 245 my goal is 175). I’m curious if anyone has used this WITH an HCG diet? What were your results?
Tiffany – If you’ve read/followed the previous comments, you should be taking around 1-2 tsp. (not Tbsp.) 3 times per day, generally before meals. I personally follow the instructions on Bragg’s bottle and take 2 tsp. upon rising, mid-morning & mid-afternoon (just started myself, so don’t have any real results to share as of yet). Also, from all I’ve read, using apple juice isn’t really recommended – you should be going with straight water (the taste isn’t that bad…).
I’ve had Chronic Fatigue Syndrome for the last 5 years (I’m 30 now), and I am really frustrated about feeling so exhausted all the time. I heard ACV is supposed to increase energy. Today is my first day trying this. I mixed 2 tablespoons with a cup of water and will sip it throughout the afternoon. Anyone else here who has or had CFS and tried ACV? What was your experience and results like?
I heard about the ACV “diet” from my sister and a few girls she works with. I’m not BIG by any means but there are a few lbs that I wouldn’t miss if I lost em. I started taking 2 Tbl. of ACV with 8 oz of 100% apple juice at night. I’m not really noticing ANY kind of change in my weight, inches or digestion. Am I doing something wrong?
I have tried Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) mixed with juice (sometimes called jogger in a jar). My doctor wanted me to try it. Both times it has kick started my diet when was on a plateau. I had been dieting for 3 weeks and had lost no weight (inches but no weight). I drank ACV for one week and dropped 10 lbs. Every day it was a few pounds more. It seems to be good bowel cleanser(sorry if TMI). Maybe it a diuretic or maybe it boosts metabolism. I got sick at the end of the week. Not sure if it was ACV irritating my stomach or not. I let my stomach get better and am trying it again. Lost 1/2 pound since yesterday. My stomach is ok. Just to be safe I take it after I eat. I also wait to take any meds an hour after ingesting just in case the acidity causes issues with it.
I’ve lost 12 pounds in one month with Braggs ACV. Pills didn’t work for me. I can’t stand the taste, so I put some salt on my tongue and drink 1 Tbsp of vinegar as a shot, then follow by 8 oz water to wash the acid out of my mouth. The vinegar tastes great with salt (no tart taste). I do this 3 times a day. Works wonders and I eat sweets and junk food nonstop and still lost weight.
while I can say this you to cut the calories back some and drank 3tps will help clean you out but its mostly diet and exercise that take weight off ,becacause I lost 80LBS and I didnt drank 3tsp of vinager just change my deit and life style
I started taking Natures Blend Ultra Apple Cider Vinegar capsules last week. I have lost 9 pound in that week.
After 1 week of AVC, actual pounds lost are minimal, however… 4.5 inches are gone!
Drink with straw
Do “NOT” drink ACV as a shot! The acetic acid found in vinegar will destroy the enamel on your teeth, if it’s not diluted before drinking.
Also, Stevia in the Raw is a 100% natural, 0 calorie sweetener, that makes the bitterness/tanginess a little more tolerable.
Chasing the shot with 8oz of water quickly washes any acid away and will not damage enamel.
Wondering if acv can be taken while pregnant if not thats ok ill be due in a week lol just wondering
I was told its 1tablespoon ACV and 1tablespoon of honey in 8oz water or apple juice is this right????
Just went to a health food store and bought a 32 oz. Bragg raw unfilter apple cider vinegar and will chase it with water. I try so many things I hear on TV, radio and word of mouth. I found that it doesn’t matter if it works or not, you will never know unless you have the “desire” “determination” to follow thru. Thank God this was $4.00 not a lot of investment.
My aunt and her daughter are trying this, and have had successful results in the past month. I am starting my ACV diet today. It was deffinetely tangy, but it will be worth it!!! Good Luck everyone
For anyone..does it have 2 b a certain kind of ACV?
yes, organic unfiltered with “the mother” present.
ACV is simply unbelievable. I’ve been taking it for close to a month and have lost close to 20 pounds. It absolutely curbs your appetite- big time. Give it a try- it only costs about 6 bucks. You’ll notice results in a week.
Do NOT mix ACV with honey or maple syrup. These “natural” ingredients are filled with sugars. The sugars are what make you fat!
Just pour 1 or 2 tablespoons of ACV into an 8 oz glass of water and drink it. It’s tangy, but not that bad. You can do it.
The weight has just been falling off since I started this regimen. I’m overjoyed!
I think it’s better to drink a shot of ACV chased by 8oz of water than trying to drink 8oz of water with it mixed in..
OK! so I’m convinced that this will work. I’m on my way to the store to pick up my ACV. My current weight is 216 I want to loss at least 70 IBS!!! Will update soon wish me luck!!!
2 tbsp of AVC
1 Tbsp of maple sryup organic grade B
16 oz of water
3 times a day with each meal.. I will try my best to exercise at least 30 min every day
I heard you also eat two tablespoons of coconut oil and also a bunch of shredded coconut strips. I am starting today lets see how this works.
Can i lose weight by drinking acv on every meal i eat.
If anyone tries to tell you that this does not work its because they want you to buy their stuff. My friends, family and myself, thats 20 or so people that went on the ACV diet. Each one of us has lost over 30 pounds in six months. No more stomach, bowel or acid problems, our cholesteral is better and no more pain in the joints. If you want to try it they are no side effect and it will help you. Thank you.
Mix 1 tsp to 10 oz of water and drink over 30 minutes or add 1 tsp – 1 tbs in 16 oz of water and sip all day to keep your body hydrated and detoxing.
Des this really work?? Can someone give te specific mix?
@Imusa, did you read through prior comments? A lot of suggestions are given there.
