Significant Weight Loss

Well, I ended up reading ALL of the testimonials (haha, which took an entire day, between chasing kids and changing diapers), and they had me convinced. Those who did not have success appear to not be terribly over weight, or have used processed ACV instead of raw organic unfiltered ACV.
Anyway, on day one, I only drank 1/2 a glass of ACV water. It was too gross. Sorry, I can't remember exactly how much of what I used. Honey didn't even help. On day 2, I tried it again. Not much better. So, that night I decided to just drink a teaspoon of it, straight (since I like the taste of it, anyway). Boy, was that a mistake! It BURNED. So, since then I've been putting about 2 teaspoons of ACV in 1/2 liter of sweet tea with lemon. The ACV just makes the lemon a bit tangier, and it's actually quite good! I also have been drinking extra water, because I believe that is important to successful weight loss. As for the ACV tea, I try to make it last the whole day, and if I do drink it all, I just make another bottle. So, some days I have more than 2 teaspoons, but never more than 3 or 4.
This morning I weighed myself, and I have lost 5 pounds! I've got about 95 to go, but now I am quite optimistic about it. The greatest thing is that this stuff really curbs your appetite! I only eat when I am hungry now, and am careful to have small portions.
Thank you so much, Earth Clinic, for pointing this out to me. If it weren't for you, I would never be a believer!
I'll post again later with further results!

You will have a winner if you swap the sugar in your sweet tea for local, raw honey. Refined sugar cancels out many health benefits. Tea, honey, ACV and lemon?? = a real health powerhouse. At the store or health food store, choose the raw honey that is made nearest to wherever you are, even if a neigboring state or bordering country. As a bonus, you are supporting nearby honey farms doing this instead of a giant corporate food conglomerate. Enough people do this, and it will catch on what the "buzz" is all about!

okay so i posted 4/27 that it ACV was a go for me...so since april 27th i have lost a total of 20 pounds with a low cal diet and sporadic exercise .the weight loss is steady i really noticed the acv really works as of last week (even tho i was losing weight i gave myself some credit for the working out and eating right)so anyway last week i didn't take the acv(just kind of got out of the habit) and by the 2nd day i realized how much more tired i was how more hungry i was it was shocking i mentioned it to my mom that i hadn't taken it all week and she said neither had she and she noticed the same things that i had!!

oh, my goodness! i tried the acv (2 tsp) in 16 oz of water only one time a day. normally when i wake up in the morning or before i go to bed at night. I lost 5 lbs in one week. unfortunately, i haven't been able to use it this week because i have reocurring bacterial vaginosis and i read on this site that the acv could make it worse. it's not as bad as usual though, but i've also found remedies for that on here!!! thanks so much for the posts!!!

Melanie, I am in the same boat as you. I also recently had a baby, about 8 months ago. I was 150. I lost about 15 lbs with gym and eating right. Currently I am 135. I want to become 120 lbs. I have been using ACV, organic from Trader Joes. Used it since past 2 weeks, but have not seen any difference at all. Not even 1/2 lb! I take 1.5 tablespoon in 8 ounces of water. I make that 3 times a day and drink it. Once as soon as i wake up in the morning. Once after lunch and the last one before going to bed, after dinner. Am I doing something wrong? Please give me some hits!!!! I am desperatly wanting to loose weight! THANKS

Nipa, I think you need to give it more time. Another poster experienced the same thing and after a month she noticed weight loss, were the two weeks that you did it around that time of month where we naturally gain weight? And you need the type of ACV with the mother in it. I felt like I bloated and gained weight too. then I stopped it like you I felt much better on the ACV as it helps with so many things. Don't be discouraged....

ok back again to say it has been 3months doing this remedy and still loosing weight i am now at 144. and yes i am still doing the same remedy as from the first blog i posted. i see some people have posted if you drink this acv befor meals you loose weight and if you drink it after meals you gain weight.. i sipp it all day long regardless if its befor or after meals. so yeah i just think its different for everyone i also increased my physicall activites more walking every other night with double stroller. so people dont give up just give it some time dont be scared of it lol... it will help remember its all natural. and another thing just watch what you eat im not saying to completly cut off your favorite foods but just limit the amount you serve before each meal i also drink lots of water so you do get fuller and the acv helps. also before you go to bed drink a glass full of water. so just be positive you can do this... thanks mel

I just wanted to report my experience with using ACV for the second time. I initially started in July 07 and took it for about 5 weeks and lost 18lbs. I was taking 2Tlbsp of Acv, 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda with 1 Tblspn of honey. I didn't stop bcuz it wasn't working, I just got caught up with life...I graduated college, moved, had deaths n accidents in my family and started workin 2 jobs...so I just slowly got out of the habit of taking it. I wasn't watching what I ate or exercising, but I never gained the weight back. I started @ 262 and went down to 255.I stayed 255 until Jan 1, 2009 when I re dedicated myself to getting healthy.....I have changed my dosage to the new revised recipe on here...which is 2 teaspoons of acv in 16 ounces of water (2 cups)...and I sip throughout the day. I prepare a weeks worth of water bottles in advice n take it with me to work n school....So far since the 1st of Jan....I have lost 16lbs....n its only Feb 5th. I haven't worked out one day.I have a slim fast shake in the morning followed by a few gulps of acv mix...then I have salad or fruits for lunch n whatever I want for dinner...as long as u take a few sips b4 n after meals....u will lose weight. I notice my stomach slimming the most. I don't know how people can say this doesn't work. I want to take it for the rest of my life..bcuz my hair is long n shiny, I have a lot more energey(hence I'm wide awake @ 5am writing this) and I have had severe back back from some pinched nerves in my back....I used to take 6 to 10 tylenol or motrin to get through the day....and to me its amazing that I haven't taken any pain meds for my back since I started acv again.I swear by it. Try it. It has so many health benefits , that you have nothing to lose.Ill post my progress again @ the end of Feb. As of 2day I weigh 246lbs. Hope this helps....Good Luck!!

Hey All,
I'm back! My last post was on Feb 4. I was 246lbs on Feb. 5. Today I weigh 235 lbs. I feel great. I'm the last month I haven't done anything different besides I did Tae Bo 3 times.I consume between 1500 and 1800 calories per day. I got a few emails from people asking what they were doing wrong because it wasn't working for them. Honestly, I only know what I've actually done myself so if you are using another brand or taking more or less then that may be why you are having a problem. I recommend _____s. I'm still very satisfied with ACV. I even splurge every now and then and have pizza or donouts, but I have 1 slice or 1 donut and THATS IT!! In moderation.I'll check back soon. Oh yeah My waist used to mesaure 49 inches and now its 43inches.
Peace

Hello and congratulations on that weight loss. However that "have a Slimfast drink" for breakfast caught my eye. I find that a lot of the so called health foods and drinks to help you lose weight have one or both of those excitotoxins in them which may be preventing you from losing more weight, as both monosodium glutamate (MSG) and aspartame are noted for causing weight gain. So look up those names they hide MSG under and go read the ingredients on your Slimfast drink, especially looking for any hydrolyzed plant (corn, soy or other) protein, because it contains both MSG and aspartame.

ACV for Weight Loss---WORKS. I probably should have waited a little longer b4 posting an update but I'm just so happy with the results of ACV.Today, March 27th...I weigh 228.2....so in 3 months I have lost over 30 lbs....I started @ 262 on Jan 1st. I have a new goal I'm working toward...not only would I like to lose another 45lbs, but I would like 2 wear a bikini for the first time in my life this summer.I'm goin to keep doing what I'm doing while incorporating light exercise and God willing, I will go to beach without a cover up. I'm elated. Thanx for all the support. I'm going to go on hiatus until probably mid June . I'll report update then.

Isabelle,
Thank you for updating us on your progress...WE DO CARE! :)
It is wonderful that you have continued to do so well on ACV. I have tried it in the past and have only had minimal success (5 lbs the first week, none thereafter). I'm pretty desperate now, so I will try again and maybe tweak a few things using your recommendations. Thanks again and best luck on achieving your goals!!!

re: SlimFast - the reason it didnt work for me is the 18 grams of sugar in a single can of it. Check the label. I am referring to original, regular slim fast and its competing store-brand products. Check the sugar grams.
To migrate toward healthier shakes and smoothies, switch to the high protein variety, then the same-brand protein mix after that, then step by step toward making your own blender creations at home. It will be less shock in the taste this way, and you will be able to know exactly what is in it.

I would avoid Slimfast. You will probably have better luck with brewer's yeast, nutritional yeast, Borax, cream of tartar, chlorella and spirulina, Lugol's iodine, whey powder, l-glutamine.
I had success with the hunger control Slimfast in the past, but it contains Splenda/sucralose ie sugar-bleach. Bleach is a carcinogen. There are reports that the sucralose does get somewhat digested. The regular Slimfast did not curb my hunger.
There is a concoction of 1 cup each ginger juice, garlic juice, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, and honey (directions are under the link for heart blockage) that helps me lose weight.
Slimfast is like fasting, but harder because your bloodsugar keeps getting boosted and then dropping.
Try this instead of Slimfast:
High speed blender mix:
1 glass cold water
1 heaping scoop brewer's yeast (tastes very bitter)
1 heaping scoop whey powder (get the organic, cold process, pasture raised if you can)
1 Tbsp. l-glutamine powder
1 banana
Also, I recently read that in the past people used a recipe as follows (I'm guessing at the amounts, combine all):
1 cup Yogurt
1 Tbsp. Wheat germ
1 Tbsp. Wheat germ oil
1 Tbsp. Molassas
1 Tbsp. Brewer's yeast

I have read almost every post on this site and I am amazed at how much it has helped many of you. I know though, as in any other remedy out there, this may not work for everyone, but it does work for me. I am very intersted in trying the coconut oil now as well. I have elevated cholestrol, but not to the point of danger, although the high cholestrol runs in my family, as does heart disease on both sides of my family, so I figure it cannot hurt to give it a try. I am a 39 year old female, and have become very interested in living as healthy of a lifestyle as possible. I see a chiropractor twice a week as well, who is very supportive of this. I wish everyone all the luck in trying this. To those that have had hard time with it, never give up..keep the faith. A big thank you to the creators of this site. Julie-Michigan

I did not see the loss in a week, but I do not remember having gain weight. May be someone else can help you on this page.

After I started the raw vinegar mixed with raw honey - I have been drinking 1/4 cup mixed with a glass of water at night.- I have lost 55 pounds, which I learned was due to the vinegar daily - have not had bronchitis or asthma and have quit taking acid reflex meds, lung meds, singular for asthma, don't need the nebulizer or inhalers. I also quit taking nexium and just learned it is also good for leg cramps. I am a much healther person. I take mine at night, but think I will try taking smaller doses three times a day. Even my lung doctor agreed ACV was good for your lungs. He said his Mother raised them on it for sore throats and colds. Too bad the drug companies don't agree. Thanks for your site
