[YEA] 10/14/2006: Sharicka from Jax, FL writes: "I have been on the ACV diet and lost 12 pounds in 2 weeks. I went from 256 to 244. I will be continuing this diet and spreading the news. I do 2 tlbs in 8 oz of apple juice or orange juice followed by a full cup of water before or right after a meal. If you really cut back the first week, the second week you won't even want the things you did before. Don't get me wrong, it still takes me a while to drink it because of the smell but it has done a great job for me and my co-worker. It really works!!"

[NAY] 08/28/2006: Farzan from Hopkins, MN writes: "I started taking Apple cider vinegar after seeing all the wonderful feedback on your site.But it didn't work for me. Instead of losing the few unwanted pounds, I think I have gained 5 lbs over the past few days despite having more of fruits and vegetables. I have been taking 2 tsps of it 3 times everyday an hour before food. But I have not experienced any of the benefits listed. Maybe its not for .me. Good luck to all the others out there."

[YEA] 08/06/2006: Becky from Wichita, Kansas writes: "I have never had a weight problem, before after retiring from my job at the age of 46, and being a house wife, I've gained about 50lbs. I have tried everything to lose the weight, walking, joining health clubs, low carbs diets, grapefruit diets, you name it i've tried. Then one day my sister told me about the Hollywood diet which I was suppose to lose up to 10 lbs in 48 hrs. Well I did try it and lost about 3 lbs in 48hrs. Well that wasn't good enough for me since the product was a little expensive way out of my budget to continue to buy it.. Then I just got a thought of what was in the Hollywood diet the main ingredients was vinegar and fruit juices. So I thought it must be the vinegar that causes you to lose the weight and decided to look of vinegar and came up on your website. To make a long story short I tried one the reader recipes for ACV diet and how amazing it was. I have been on the ACV diet and have lost 10lbs in one week. Thanks to you for sharing your website with me and thanks to the readers for putting their experiences with ACV on here for us to read. Keep up the good work! God Bless You!"

[YEA] 08/03/2006: Ricky from Walnut Creek, CA writes: "I'm 27 and recently came across this site for acid reflux and saw all the talk about ACV. At first i thought "what a scam" but i'll try, i was desperate. I've been taking acv for about 2 weeks or so, i can't be believe it but i've really lost about ten pounds in 2 weeks. I've stuck to a healthy diet, lots of greens and lot and lots of water. At first i started taking it for acid reflux and digestive problems, and it's works. I thought something else was wrong when i started dropping the weight but it's the acv. It didn't work right away but after a week or so i noticed results! Try it yourself, just remember everybody's different what works for one person might not work for the next."
08/22/2009: Jordie from Stouffville, Ontario replies: "Hey, was just wondering what 'recipe' of ACV you used to get your results? Like how much ACV per water and how many times a day! Thanks so much!"

Am going to start taking it 3 times a day with meals. I was glad I went to this site as I thought that you only took it once a day. I think it it is just great!"

[YEA] 06/13/2006: Phee from Louisville, KY writes: "Trust me when I say I am a huge skeptic of just about everything! I happened upon an article about ACV aiding with weight loss and since I am 54 and at the end of my rope trying to lose even 20 of the 50 pounds I need to, I decided to give it a try. I started taking a tablespoon 3x's a day and I am being totally honest I started feeling "different" almost immediately. I first noticed I had energy for the first time in a long time. I wasn't sluggish after lunch and didn't want to hit the couch the first thing after work. Then miracle of miracles I started sleeping better, maybe that is due to having more energy to take brisk walks in the evening but whatever the reason, I am liking it. Now the biggie. My appetite has decreased unbelievably! I am satisfied with much smaller portions and sweets have lost there appeal to me! I got on the scale this morning and am down 5 lbs, without suffering one bit! I am almost afraid to tell people about this because I still can't believe it myself. Where has ACV been all my life? The puffiness in my face and hands is going down so quickly I can hardly recognize myself. I am convinced the ACV is flushing a lot of toxins out of my body. I am totally excited about this and for the first time in a long time I actually feel hopeful about losing some weight. All of the other benefits are a bonus! Thank you from the bottom of my heart."

[NAY] 06/03/2006: Saniya from Geelong Victoria writes: "i have a problem of irregular periods and due that my weight is increasing, i suffer from acidity also. but after drinking it for regular 5-6 days with 2 spoons of ACV in warm water and 3 times a day, there is no effect. But in fact my acidity became severe. i just want to know was it the wrong dose i was taking, has it really worked for weight loss, if yes then why not for me. I really need some good suggestions."

I have been on holiday eating pasta but don't generally put on weight. Is it likely this is caused by the cider vinegar treatment?"

Do you have to have a low-fat diet when taking the Apple Cider vinegar to work, and is it before meals or after. Thanks Great Site keep it up!"

[NAY] 05/08/2006: Anthony from Fort Meyers, FL writes: "As far as the fat burning (weight loss) properties ACV supposedly has, I must say yet again it falls well short of expectations. Having been a personal trainer now for about 10 years, I carefully monitored my weight and body fat percentage during the intake of this remedy. After checking both before, during, and after the intake of this remedy, I can say without question that it has no fat-burning properties whatsoever. If anyone had experienced weight-loss from this product, it was merely that they were filling up on this calorie-free liquid rather than other things they'd be eating at the time. However, it has no fat-burning properties whatsoever."
[YEA] 02/03/2009: Janet from Nashville, USA replies: "In response to Anthony of Ft. Meyers: Having been "personal trainer" for a decade, you will have observed great differences in how individual bodies respond to physical training. The same is true for each individual's metabolism, and physical constitution.
It has nothing whatsoever to do with "filling up on this calorie-free liquid" but rather has to do with the malic acid and acetic acid in the vinegar. Both of these stimulate the liver to metabolize fats and sugars for energy instead of sending it to cells to be stored as adipose tissue. I personally believe that the acids in vinegar cause the digestive organs to secrete more lipase, the enzyme that digests fats, and the main enzyme that all obese people are deficient in.
I take ACV. I also take BSM. The combination of these 2 supplements have caused me to lose quite a few pounds, substantially decreased my menstrual migraines, restored my (missing for almost a decade) sex drive, and seem to have somewhat balanced my hormones. Apple Cider Vinegar is a remedy so old that its origins are unknown. Frequently, the old ways are the best ways."

[YEA] 04/11/2006: Eunice from Temple Hills, MD writes: "Apple Cider Vinegar is curing my appetite for fatty foods. It's helping with my appetite so I eat smaller meals and am not hungry at all. I am losing weight. That's what I wanted along with exercising. I have diabetes so I am experiencing lower blood levels when I test my blood sugars. My girl-friend lost 10 lbs already within one month's time."

[YEA] 04/10/2006: Nancy from Nashville, NC writes: "I too tried the ACV and have been using it for the past nine days. I use the tablets and not the liquid. I usually forget to take them during the day, but I am faithful about taking them at night and first thing in the morning. I can't believe the difference!! I honestly feel more "right." It sounds strange to say that, I know. I have energy, I'm alert, and I sleep better at night. I have lost nine inches in nine days without trying. That isn't to say everyone should run out and take ACV for quick weight loss. The focus should be on a proper diet, plenty of water and exercise. I truly believe the ACV does help to digest food properly. The difference is amazing. It's such a simple thing, but it really works."

[YEA] 03/05/2006: Bob from Los Angeles, CA writes: "Promoted weight loss, more energy, relieved the pain in my legs and feet, and helped me to feel better. I have found that if I use a 1/3 cup of apple cider vinegar mixed with a large glass of apple juice plus a soy protein energy supplement powdered meal, my appetite all but goes away. I am now eating very small meals. I have had a very large appetite for most of my life and I was 300 pounds just three weeks ago. Now after only three weeks, I am 288 pounds and I feel terrific. I just do not seem to have an appetite any longer. My friends are amazed. Me too."

I have so much energy now. Within 2 days of using ACV my body started to shrink and my natural body odor started to change! My face, neck, hands feet and stomach areas were very noticeably changing within 2 weeks! I was so pleased I have stuck with it. I have so many amazing changes I have noticed with my body personally that I have become very dedicated to natural ways of curing myself and family members. I have lost a total of 14 pds. I have had people who know me very well just stop me and ask me what am I doing. My body is starting to look pretty good!I am on this website every single day. Yeah, I have my share of skeptics but they surely are curious and watching me that's for sure! Thank you so much for the helpful and supportive information on your website it has truly made a huge difference in my life! I no longer have that line backer look goin on....teehee! You all have much love and support from me. I am a believer in ACV!"

[YEA] 02/01/2006: Donna from Lancaster SC writes: "I came across this site looking for natural results in lowering my husband's blood pressure which was 166 over 90 and had 1/3 of his lung removed due to finding lung cancer in stage 1 after we had a vehicle accident. Since we both are American Indians I wanted something natural so I got it and tried it on him, myself and our 24 year old daughter who has asthma. We started this past Sunday and the next day I didn't feel bloated like usual so I told all at work and they just looked at me so I printed this out. Tuesday morning I had energy like never before so with the paper and they saw me and read this site they all went to get the ACV and about 20 customers were going. My husband blood pressure is as of 1/31/06 (150 over 80) and he claims that he feels like "jumping rope" so with fresh vege and lean meats and very low sodium in his diet with this is working and since Sunday i have lost 5 lbs and my hair is no longer falling out (waist length). It's so nice to comb my long hair and it isn't falling out anymore or see my hair on everything. Thank you all so much. Donna -- Geyatahi Cherokee Indian NC"
