I have used ACV every single day for about a year now for aches, pains and lowering my blood pressure. I haven't lost an ounce (unfortunately) during all the time I've taken it. I believe its weight-loss claims are 'greatly exaggerated'.
In fact, one week when I skipped two days, I lost 2 lbs! It made me wonder if it has the opposite effect on me.

Hi everyone, I would like to know how drinking water wit Acv works when you're trying to lose weight. I've been drinking 1-2 tspn every morning and night b4 bed for the past 2 months but it's def not working. Can someone pls tell me what am doing wrong or suggest a better remedy. Since I been taking the Acv and water I only feel lighter like a real Detox but I seem to have a bigger appetite. I get hungry real fast from drinking acv & water, maybe it just dosnt work for me. Need advice soon, thanks.

I just wanted to be clear as I want to try this. Do you put 2 tsp of Apple Cider Vinegar in a 8oz tea, like green tea or 8oz of water and drink it like a tea? I was doing the cold or room temp acv/water mix as intructed on the b----- Apple Cider Vinegar bottle, but apart from burning and feeling nasty I saw no health benefits at all. I also started drinking tea throughout the day and this alone makes me urinate often. I wonder if combining my green tea with 2tsp of Apple Cider Vinegar would be beneficial. Hope you reply.

Your post sounds a lot like my experience. I read and heard so many awesome things about ACV. I weigh 172, which includes the 5 lbs. I gained when I began the ACV over a month ago? I took 2t in an 8 oz. water 3x a day. Sometimes I'd mix my ACV with green tea. Totally disappointing. I wonder why it works on some people and not on others?

I've read lots of feedback about avc helping with weightloss. I used to drink it every morning and night, but I didn't see any results. However, I'm almost 300lbs. I haven't read of anyone that heavy on here (yet). Does anyone have any suggestions to help me? I didn't used to be active, but I've been trying now. I'm also trying to eat healthier, but that's nothing new. I've been eating MUCH healthier for over a year now. So is there a trick to taking acv that will make it work for me? If so, what is it? If not, what else can I do?

Hello All,
I've been drinking 1-2 tsp. of organic ACV in a 16 oz. bottle of water everyday for 3 months now and I have not lost any weight. I exercise 5-6 days a week (run/walk 3 miles a day) and I've been watching my food intake using a food journal. I have lost inches from the exercise but my weight has stayed the same so far. I will continue to drink the ACV and water because of the many health benefits associated with it. Unfortunately weight loss has not been one of those benefits for me.

I, myself have been using ACV for 2 months. My skin looks healthier, but no weight loss. I am a little bit dissappointed. I wonder if I am doing it wrong. I have been drinking it throughout the day, 1 tablespoon and honey with 16 oz of water. I need to lose abouth 30lbs. I know I have to be patient. But already after 2 months, without any lb lost. Anybody has a different result? Your respond is appreciate.

I am beginning to wonder if ACV for weightloss is only successful for overweight individuals? I am about average but could afford to lose a few pounds and have been taking ACV in H20 as this site suggests for about a month and haven't seen any results. Suggestions?

Hi! This is Vicky. I have been taking ACV and VCO for the last 2 months or so but there is no weight loss. I dont know if I should continue this diet or not. I feel I have put some weight on but I dare not weigh myself. It is just so frustrating. I take about 3 tbsp of ACV in a bottle of water ( I sip this throughout the day) and take about 2 tsp of VCO in the am. Is there any truth about our blood type that may affect this diet? By the way my blood type A+. Can someone pls advice??

Hey, ACV did not work on me either. I tried it for about 3 weeks and I gained about 3 lbs! So then I stopped. One thing that does work is drinking warm water with added lemon juice and 1 teaspoon of honey. Drink it the first thing in the morning after your wake up. It will help you maintain your weight or even loose it. I am not that big, so it does not help me loose my weight, but helps me maintain my weight.

NAY
I'm in the same boat with you, guys! I've been taking ACV for a couple of months and haven't lost a pound. I think that it mainly works for people that have lots of weight to lose. I'm 5'4 and 125 lbs. I've been wanting to get back to my pre-pg weight, which is 115 lbs. I do 1-hour trainign at the gym 2x per week, eat low-carb diet and haven't yet lost a pound, even when I started taking ACV (2T per 1L).

I have a question. I have been using apple cidar vinegar for about a month. I started with 2 -3 tsp per day in water. Then, for weight loss I started taking 1 tbsp 2x daily prior to eating. I have not lost any weight, and am wondering if I'm doing something wrong. I quit smoking 1 1/2 years ago, and gained about 30 pounds. I am tracking what I eat, and not over-eating. I'm 45, female, and always been thin. It's almost like my metabolism is gone, never to return. I also exercise, at least 2-3 hours per week on average. Any thoughts for me??

Hi Chris, I am having the same issues you are! love drinking apple vinegar, but it doesn't help me loose weight. The one time I successfully lost weight is when I did a low fat, low sugar, low carb diet. Basically I only ate easily digestible food like salad, grilled chicken, fish, hummus. I lost about 10 pounds in 2 months. I am trying to get back to that same diet again, but the wheat products kill it for me. One sandwich on whole wheat bread and I have put on an instant 2 pounds. Good luck. Let us know how it goes.
