I just want to say to those people, that are not losing the weight from the avc, maybe your not using the right brand, if its the ones you buy from the supermarket its not going to work. it has to be the raw unfiltered. the health food store is the best place to find it. it the only place that i know of.

I did "the cleanse" lemonade: ACV, lemons, maple syrup, Cayenne Pepper. I did lose weight, about 5-7 lbs. I believe it was a combination of not eating and the ACV lemonade. I am really watching what I eat and have started to exercise to maintain the weight loss. Although it was "very" difficult the first three days, it was a good jump start before the holidays. I would not advise this for anyone with a health problem unless you are use to fasting.

I have only been using it for about months and it has helped lose four pounds. Just by using one tablespoon before each meal. Thanks for letting me know about it.

Apple Cider Vinegar has cured: varicose veins, weight lose, tendinitis, wrinkles. In April of 2005, I came across a booklet for ACV, at the time I was 50 years old I played sports in high school, a construction worker for 20 years and a mover for the last 15, so I have done a number on my body over the years. My daughter convinced me to start taking ACV... I have taken it everyday since! The health benefits have been many. The first thing I noticed was my hair and nail growth, doesn't seem like much but my hair was white and had no color, but was growing back in blonde! I thought that was amazing! Over all the years of abuse on my feet and ankles I had purple feet from the varicose veins, it really was a severe case, after two months of use my feet started to look clearer to me, but I wasn't sure so I started taking pictures....I now have NO varicose veins on my feet, legs or anything. In April of 2005 I was a size 38 pants, today I am a 32 pants. I have not done any extra exercise to achieve this, It simply melted the pounds away (I also have a six pack again). The ACV has given me a facelift, I do NOT look like I am 51! My wrinkles around my eyes have literally disappeared. My skin is tighter, firmer every where. I feel like a new man. Over the years while abusing my body in my everyday life (working) I developed new and painful body movements, aches where I never had before and eventually the Doc diagnosed me with tendinitis (really painful) in both of my shoulders, being a mover this isn't good for business, it really started hurting my paycheck (then I started the ACV). I really had not realized I stopped taking the naproxen the Dr. had prescribed until I went to see him for my physical. He asked me if I needed a new script, that's when I realized I used to live on those pills everyday and hadn't needed them once since I started taking the ACV, so I told the Dr. about the ACV he was awed, seeing the results for himself he decided to start taking it, in fact my Barber, Boss, Coworkers, Kids, Brothers and sister all now take it with health benefits of there own. I tell you I LOVE ACV it has changed my life and made me a new healthier man. I actually believe I have a long healthy life ahead. The recipe I use everyday is: 2 tablespoons of ACV and 1 Tablespoon of honey. Add water to taste. I do this two times a day, everyday. Good luck to all in your journey to a healthier you!

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!!

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.

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!

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.

I started taking 4tbls. of acv with 1/4 cup of o.j. before meals and have felt less hungry. My clothes fit better and my family has noticed that I have lost weight. They also have begun doing the diet. Does anybody know of any hazards to taking acv?

I started taking 2 tbsps. in 8oz of water once a day 3 months ago and lost 20 pounds. I have more energy as well. 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!

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.

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.

cider vinegar and honey was very helpful with arthritis. I think this is helping after only a month, BUT I have put on 6 lbs. 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?

I have been on this site. sounds wonderful that people are losing weight, so i also tried it but i had no success in it. 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!
