I have been taking ACV to lose weight for almost 2 weeks now, and I am not seeing much of a difference. I don't mix it with Honey because I still just can't get past the taste. I have started mixing it with V8 juice and it tastes much better. I don't know if maybe this is the reason I am not seeing any results or maybe I am just not very patient. I use the Low Sodium kind so there is not that much salt. For the lady who is using Heinz, that is not a good idea. You need to use the Organic ACV. I use _____. It will specifically say that it contains the mother.

After two months of ACV twice a day with honey, I had no loss of any weight but with new blood work my glucose went up, maybe because of honey? However, my bloodpressure went down from 130/75 to 122/72. I have stopped taking ACV with honey because of elevated glucose 119. I am 65. Bye and good luck to the rest.
EC: We are not big fans of adding honey to ACV for that very reason (i.e., elevated glucose levels).

This is specifically to Anil of Hammond, Louisiana, where should I begin??!! Both your blood pressure & glucose readings change constantly throughout your day, your blood pressure changes with EVERY BEAT OF YOUR HEART!!! I'm sincerely hoping you took MANY readings to come up with an average if you are making ANY decisions concerning your health regimen. Two reading in two months is staggeringly inadequate. Plus, 119 is not "elevated" depending on when you took it. (your blood glucose goes as high or higher than 150mg/Dl after meals throughout your day) some people high than that. Serial readings are in order before you make any changes or decisions regarding the same.
Good luck.

The ACV is awesome. This has been a poor diet and excercise week for me because I've had to work 7 days straight with little sleep. I decided to see if ACV could keep my wait at least stabilized. I added 2 (Organic) tablespoons to .09 FL Oz bottle of spring water and drink daily. I have maintained a lean mid-section this week- even without working out. It's helped me out of this jam. I will resume my fitness regime and diet next week but I am grateful that I have stayed bulge free with ACV!!!

I gained lots of weight during my 2 pregnancies, but I lost it all but these awful 8-10 lbs. It's been 2 years since I had my 2nd child. I exercise, watch what I eat, avoid pop/soda, processed foods, etc. But I cannot get rid of these 10 lbs!!! When I found this website and read the reviews and I was so ecstatic thinking that I had finally found a natural remedy to boost my weight loss. I've been taking organic ACV with 'mother' for 3 weeks now. (2Tbs in 1C of water before bed). I regret to say that I have NOT noticed much difference in any aspect of my life - energy level is the same, no changes in skin condition, as many posters witness.. And most importantly, I have noticed that since I've started taking ACV my appetite has doubled. Maybe it's only my peculiar reaction but still wanted to share my observation.

To the lady who is taking acv before bed--to lose the weight you mix a tbs with water and mabey a little honey and sip it DURING your meal. Everyday- the weight will come off but slowly. If you want to lose fast try leaving off bread, potatos, rice, sugar,butter, and drink lots of water. I lost 10lbs in 2 weeks using the low carb diet.

I came back with more feedback about ACV. I've been taking it for over a month now, maybe 6-8 weeks. I had already posted that I noticed no impact on my weight loss. On the contrary, I had increased appetite. After reading a comment I started drinking ACV in the morning, but with no effect. This weekend after I took ACV I had a horrendous stabbing pain in liver. Next day - the same story. Drinking ACV caused pain in my liver. I've never suffered any liver problems before. So I've stopped taking ACV.

This reply is for Ashley of Toronto re 'side effect' of using Apple Cider Vinegar. You are very likely experiencing the beginnings of gallbladder attacks because of gallstones. Often after people lose weight they may get attacks. The ACV might also instigate these attacks because it is trying to get rid of the stones. My advice is whatever you do, don't have surgery. An ultra-sound is ok to see if you have stones. I would bet money you have stones. Email me and I will share how you can get rid of the stones on your own without surgery. I have gotten rid of stones using my remedy. Once you pass the stones, the weight you wish to lose might go as well.

I came to this site for relief of gallbladder attacks and possibly gallbladder flush. I saw my doctor and he told me i had about 100 small stones. Apple cider vinegar helps to soften stones and aids in expulsion. Maybe your liver is being cleansed. You may need to see a doctor. you don't want to expell stones that are too big for the biliary duct. If my stones are small and still cause so much pain then larger stones must be excruciating.
Now I see that ACV is also good for weight loss. This explains my suppressed appetite.
Thank you so much Earth Clinic!

In response to Manjit from Toronto, sounds more like kidney stones, the blood in urine is good that means you are passing them. It sounds like the ACV is detoxing your system, all the bad stuff in your body will end up in your kidneys are your body tries to expell it, this turns into to kidney stones sometimes. They are not really stones but calcium and mineral build up. When you pass them, it's like a small round gellied ball that comes out, if they are small you won't even notice them. I'd recommend adding a little more water into your diet, this should help keep your kidneys cleaned out a little better. I've been drinking 2 tspns of ACV for years, per I heard it helped give you a better skin complexion, people tell me all the time I don't look my age and that I haven't aged at all since high school. I'm 30 now. Also, works great as skin toner.

I used apple cider vinegar for about 3 months, yes it does help in weight loss, I lost 45 pounds. Did excercise also. Only serious negative thing was that my blood work showed that I was seriously anemic, so I stopped the vinegar and now I am fine. I guess it washed nutrients as well.

when i was 18 i became pregnant, i weighed about 105lbs. right before my first check up.
i weighed 147 the day i left the hospital and have had such a battle with my weight ever since...i have been as heavy as 160, but normally my weight fluctuates between 150 and 155 and i just stay there...i've tried weight watchers and it worked but i only lost about 1lb a week, it was too slow for me and i lost my interest. i've tried running, biking, exercise vidoes, diet pills from tv, everything..i can't seem to lose weight and it's so frustrating. I don't want to go out anywhere becuase i'm so uncomfortable and embarrased. I am getting married next summer to my son's father :) and I am so ready to be healthy and look healthy for our big day!
I have been using the ACV and honey remedy for a week and a 1/2. I use Organic Apple cidar vinegar with the "mother" they call it (very impportant to use orangic so it is not pastuerized, processed, filtered, or heated, you want all the enzymes and everything!)
and then i use raw organic honey fresh from my fiance's grandfather's hive. also very important that no ingredients are added, it is not boiled or heated.. so that you get all of the enzymes and good stuff that would normally be cooked and killed off during the processing.
i mix 1 tablespoon of each and dilute with about 4oz. room temp. water,-just enough so i can down it quick! it's also ok to use chilled water i've done the research.
i do this 3 times a day.
i have not lost any weight yet, but my skin is clearer and it does help to suppress my appetite so i'm going to stick with it for a while and see what happens. I also have more energy and the taste is getting better.
If anyone has any advice or other tips please feel free to fill me in!! i am a person that can't seem to commit to one weigthloss fad and i am so tired of it! i really want this to work!
thanks and good luck to everyone!

To Cassie from Adamstown, Pa: Hi Cassie, Don't feel like the "Lone Stranger" for you have lots of comrades in "The Battle of the Bulge". Also, if we can believe the media there is an epidemic of obesity, diabetes over the last few years. My first suggestion is to get rid of all those diet foods and diet drinks, because they are a big part of what is making you keep that weight. My second suggestion is for you to search on line for excitotoxins, what they are and what they cause. Two names you are going to find in this search is monosodium glutamate (MSG) and aspartame (Nutrisweet). I find that most people are not aware of how much MSG they are ingesting, thinking that the only time they get much of it is when they eat stir-fried or Asian foods. To really get an idea of how much you are getting, print out that list of names they hide MSG under and go into the kitchen and start reading ingredients on everything in there to eat or drink, including your raw meats. After you get an honest idea of how much of the food you eat is loaded with MSG, go back on line and see if you can pull up some pictures of those MSG fed mice & rats? These are both pitiful and disgusting. Know that they also make us two-legged animals fat also.
Ok, now we know where the problem is. Go to the library and borrow a copy of "The Carbohydrate Addict's Healthy Heart Program". This book answers the question I asked and the one I didn't ask, after being told in a physioloogy lecture at VUSN (1978) that all fat people had 8 times the normal amount of insulin circulating in their blood streams. Knowing that insulin will "bottom-ut your glucose and make you hungry, I asked which came first, the excess insulin or the overweight? and got the answer of "We don't know"! Figuring that if they didn't know that, I didn't bother to ask my second question, which was "What makes us kick out excess insulin"? The book I mentioned above by Rachel & Richard Heller and Dr. Vagnini, answers both of my questions. Again MSG and aspartame pop up as the 2 major culprits. Rachel Heller probably weighed more than l05 lbs. by the age of 7 or 8 years old. She battled the bulge for much longer than you have - and she won. She has maintained her size 8 dress figure since lucking up and finding how to really win that battle. In this book, she tells you how to do it and I can vouch for the fact that it works - the weight comes off and without you feeling like you are starving. I don't think I need to point out that not only will you be losing weight without feeling starved, but you will also be avoiding developing diabetes type 2 along with all those other medical problems that the excitotoxins cause. Also hopefully, you be eating correctly and teaching your little one to eat right to stay healthy.

Yes, it's true. I am NOT lying because I too am desperate in losing weight.I just had a baby and it looks like i'm still pregnant. I measured myself before and it was 44inches, i remember. Than next morning it was 37 inches. Next day i did some billy blanks 15 min video, and measured myself next day, i was 33 inches. But me, I'm a person that wants to see results REAL fast, so I had lost interest and stopped taking it. It may have been water i lost. But now I decided to go back. when I was taking it, I didn't feel any boost of energy like everyone else said. My appetite was not controlled, but my skin was looking good. So I will start this again before I go to bed. But i'm desperate like no other.

I am sorry for all of you who are desperate to lose weight because I was like that. I wanted to see results and fast. I had to learned the hard way that to lose weight patience is the main factor. No patience no weightloss. I don't weigh myself anymore, it sabotages my good intentions. I am starting with ACV and practice patience. You can not hide slimness or fatness. So I will stay on ACV and whatever will be, will be. I have use it as a toner for a dermatitis condition and it worked beautifully. Along with etilic alcohol and aloe vera. I will post with outcomes when I see results.

I can't believe this at all. After reading the weight loss section using apple cider vinegar, I decided to purchase one myself. I took three tablespoons in a filled up bottled water luke warm, not too cold. I took it three times in one day. I had measured myself before on my waist and it was 44 inches. I woke up the next day and it was 37-38 inches!!! I lost about 7-8 inches on my waist in one night!! I can't believe this. I will continue to do this for the rest of the weekend and see any more difference. This is the begening of July, my current weight now is 175. At the very last day of July, I will post my current weight and waist measurements.

I can completely see her losing that many inches overnight. Especially if she was bloated and caarrying water. I use ACV all the time for bloating, gas, and it workes like a charm, almost instantly. I always take it right before a date to get rid of gas that I have or may get.
Weight Loss Reader Feedback
Posted by Leeda (West Park, Florida) on 11/07/2008
I know many find it hard to believe but it is possible to lose many inches overnight. Under normal circumstances of course, this is not possible. However, if a person has a great deal of fermentation in their stomach and intestinal tract this will expand the stomach and waistline. The cider vinegar helps dispel the fermentation and it moves trapped matter out of the bowels.
When I ran one of the first colonics clinic in the UK, I had clients that came in with huge stomachs. They had lose pants after their first colonics session.
There was of course, much 'wastes of digestion' that came out of the intestinal tract along with fermentation which caused bloating and expansion.
If the person concerned took too much ACV it could have caused diarrhea and the expulsion of fermentation, which caused a reduction in the cherished waistline.
Cider vinegar is nature's tool. If used wisely and correctly, it really will help. But one has to keep at it.
I speak as someone with many years of authority on the digestive system and other modalities. Please read our latest book "Flood Your Body with Oxygen." Thank you for reading.

I received an email from someone about how much and when and thought I would pass the email along...
Good morning. I have lost 3 inches and 12 pounds so far. I really feel better and hope you are seeing signs of a slimmer waist and back as I am. Seems legs and butt are the last to ever go. LOL The fat is melting off. From my rib cage down.!!!! No joke.
I take a Tbsp around 8am and have a granola bar around 10am. PS I am back to drinking coffee -not holding the cream. (Trying to lose weigh on a regular diet I had stopped drinking it...) At around 12:30pm I have a regular lunch. Sandwich, apple, etc ( If I start feeling bloated after lunch I take a Tbsp) and then take a Tbsp when I get home (6ish) and have a regular dinner around 7-8pm. (again taking a Tbsp of ACV if I start feeling bloated after dinner.) You should be feeling a lot more energy and have a slimmer waist.... losing the bloated feeling and losing some water weigh has really started slimming me down. After a few weeks I can feel my muscles again... not just the fat when I feel my waist from rib cage down. What a difference. Please let me know how you are doing. Very well worth the taste... Please rinse your mouth repeatedly after drinking- The ACV is not good for the enamel on your teeth. PS I also had a better menstrual- After getting my tubes tied I had a problem w/ severe clotting- It is getting better. Really noticable- The cramping is all but gone- which is a side-effect of clotting.
ACV is great for weight lose- It is natural and healthy. It cuts sugar cravings, you eat less- smaller dinner plate helps as well-, you feel better. Your metabilizm really kicks into gear. The ACV is an acid. You have less gas and bloating when you take ACV. Stimulates your stomache to work 'right.'

Thank you for sharing your experience. I wash and dry my face. Then I clean it again with a cotton with Ethyl alcohol it doesn't dry my face. Next I use a cotton with apple cider vinegar (heinz, but I will start with raw with the mother as it was recomended in the first place, but I couldn't get it). I get aloe vera from my backyard and apply the gel over my face and let it dry. This works like a gel mask and keeps my face moistureized and tight all night and day because I put on make up in the morning without washing my face. Although I should do it again in the morning, but once is enough for me, no time. I was desperate because I had sevorheic dermatitis and people stared at me and a friend asked me if my husband hitted me. Doctors creams with cortisol had also ruined my face. The treatment of ethyl alcohol, vinegar and aloe vera cured my condition completely and amazingly. And as a bonus my face glows as never before in my life. I hide it behind make up all my life but lately no make up could hide it anymore. That is why I don't question about ACV for losing weight I just do it. I hope this can help someone with skin problems. Or if you don't want or can to spend fortunes in creams to look great. This my work for wrinkles maybe because the aloe vera gel keeps moisture in. I don't know I don't have many wrinkles for heredity. I am 53. And the cons are....My husband and son complain of the vinegar odor. Apply the vinegar in the kitchen and apply the gel inmediately after vinegar drys. And overcome the fact that people are going to notice the odor when they kiss your cheek.

I just purchased "White House-ACV-All Natural" from the grocery store. Now I'm concerned that it might not be good to take because of the high acidity level-5%.

I'd always had bouts of eczema on my hands when I was under stress, but, for reasons unclear to me, I started to get it on my ears and forehead as well; it went on for months, and sometimes it looked like I had thick dandruff at the hairline. It was horrible. I tried all the usual prescription treatments, to no avail. I'd get a few days relief, then it would come back with a vengeance. So I figured, vinegar? Unlikely, but what do I have to lose? So I mixed 1/3 organic acv with 2/3 water in a spray bottle and misted the affected areas three times a day. And I started taking a tablespoon of undiluted acv each night. I first tried drinking it in a glass of water, but the taste was so horrible, I could scarcely manage half of it. So I got empty capsules and filled them, which was much less noxious an experience. The upshot, however, is that I'm flat-out amazed. Two weeks of this regimen, and the eczema is gone! The only other change I made was to put vaseline on those areas to keep them moist. Moreover, as an extra added bonus, I've lost 5 pounds. It's hard for me to believe that any of this would be a placebo effect; nothing else has even come close to working for me, no matter how much I hoped or believed it would. I'm so glad I found this site!

I love this site. I stumbled upon this site about a week and a half ago and started the apple cider vinegar remedy last week. I love the taste, in water. I put 4 tablespoons of ACV in 20 fluid oz and sip it all morning at work. My appetite has decreased as has my taste for sweet things. I am terribly overweight and have had weight problems all my llife, had 4 knee surgeries and have arthritis and edema. My pain has lessened as my edema has and I really feel healthier. This is something I would recommend to everyone! Thank you for this website. My only problem is when I get home I feel suddenly a big decrease in energy, which is not so bad since I have been feeling so sluggish the new energixed feeling I have had is very welcome. I was just wondering if I should drink a tablespoon more of ACV when I get home in order to keep the energy level up. I did not want to over do the ACV as I am new to this. Thanks for any help!

You need to use an organic, raw brand of ACV, or it will not work as well. I use 2 Teaspoons, in about 8oz of water two times a day (some use it three times a day). I've been doing it for 2 months now and feel so great! Have also lost most of the baby weight and will soon be at the size I was pre-kids! Awesome, awesome stuff!

It sounds likely that the weight you've gained may be muscle weight due to exercising,.. havn't you noticed any toning? Try noting your measurements for progress instead. Hope it's working for you!

I have stuck with the various recipes over the past three weeks. I even walk 3-4 miles a day, 4 times a week! Well, whoa and behold I have gained 6 pounds! I am so sad and heart broken!. I must admit the apple cider vinegar has made me feel so energetic and full of energy. Unfortunately,I must admit that mentally, I'd rather be thin and depressed then fat and happy. Best wishes to you all. Apple cider vinegar has its advantages...suppose it just wasn't meant for me!

Don't forget that muscle weighs more than fat. You are probably losing fat and gaining muscle. This will balance itself off and after you reach your activity muscle tone then you will lose more weight. Keep it up!

Yes, I agree with Mark. I was going to say the same thing, that when you are working out you will lose body fat and gain muscle tone. Just keep in mind that if you are lifting weights, to modify your reps (repititions) and always stretch before and after each session, to even out the toning of your muscles. Stretching and light weightlifting, small weights, will stretch out your muscles and assist in lean muscle - body mass.
I hope this helps.

hey, i am guessing that your body was building muscle and that is why you were gaining weight.
