I drink it straight no water, I actually like the taste. Another great thing about ACV is if you suffer from reflux or heartburn it goes away. Forget the TUMS and Rolaids this is cheaper and natural.

I have been taking apple cider vinegar now for a little over a month. Though I don't know exactly how much weight I have lost it is quite obvious it is a good bit. The first place I noticed it was in the love handle area. Then I noticed that permanent pouch I thought I would have forever disappearing. I was totally sold because I didn't change my diet at all. I am not proud of this part but I am not even working and haven't worked out a lick but yet the weight is just falling off. My neck and shoulders look slim and not all fat and poofy looking and my waistline is totally amazing me. The hidden affect that I was not expecting at all is how drastically it cut my appetite. I have tried numerous potent diet pills just to cut my appetite because I was always hungry and either they would only work for a little while or I would begin to have disturbing side effects. I thought I was a hopeless case when it came to cutting my appetite and the only way I could ever maintain my weight lose would be to burn more calories than I took in. I never thought that anything natural would truly cut my humongous appetite. Sometimes I go until 3 or 4 in the evening without even realizing that I haven't eaten all day. It is the best thing that could have ever happened to me. I was almost ready to give up and just thought I would have a screwed up metabolism for ever. I take 5 tsps. in about 55 oz. of distilled water 2x a day. If I eat a large meal or something that is particularly bad for me then I will do this 3x a day. I use organic un pasteurized unfiltered ACV and I am having beautiful results. I started at about 198 lbs. I will update you when I have a total weight in lbs. for you. It should not take to long at this rate.

I found this website last night and I was amazed that there's so many others who believe in all the health benefits of ACV. When I was younger (20s) I was dieting and not getting the fast results I wanted, so I drank ACV straight for weight loss. Even though I lost weight much faster, it was so hard for me to drink it because would gag from it. Now I can't even drink it after mixing it with 8 oz of water. Plus I did lose some of the enamel on my teeth (wish I would have known that then). So here's what I've discovered by experimenting a little. Mix 1/8 cup (2 tbsp)in a glass of V8 Juice! Since V8 is tangy anyhow... I can't even tell the vinegar is there. Plus you get all the nutritional benefits of the V8 juice. I sip it slowly with a straw and drink bottle water it between each sip to rinse my teeth. Then I brush my teeth when it's gone. I'm writing a book on nutrition/weight loss and ACV will definitely be one of the chapters!

two months ago,I started using the acv. (_______'s) on a daily basis with 2 tbsp. before dinner. I use it for over-all health and wt. loss. It works, I lost 15 pounds within a four week period. I take the acv. full strength because I have acquired a taste for it. Over the Thanksgiving holidays,I gained a few extra pounds from over-indulging and I was out of my routine of taking the acv. before my dinner. I skipped four nights of taking the acv. and I noticed a difference on the scales when I gained a few extra pounds. On the fifth day, I got back on the acv. and the scales showed a 2 pound difference the next morning. I am a believer! Never leave home without your acv AND Never miss a day!

After retiring, my weight soared quickly from 140 to 175. Two months ago, I began doing vinegar (heinz) and water 3 times a day. I am down to 152 and am not dieting any other way. Arthritis is much better, no sinus or headaches, and I feel much younger at 65. I have lost 23 lbs. in 2 months. I use 2 TBS. of vinegar in 6 oz. water twice a day. I find it helps me more to take it right after lunch and supper. I don't feel so bloated after my vinegar drinks and swear this has took the weight off and makes me feel better overall.

Just one tablespoon of apple cider vinegar in a glass of water at meals can change your life completely. How? Apple cider vinegar contains acetic acid which stimulates the production of stomach acid. The more stomach acid the better as it breaks down your food into smaller molecules. The smaller the molecules the more efficiently your intestines and liver can absorb the nutrients it needs. In the old days the stomach would be producing acid all day long so it would be ready for meal time. But these days when the body is stressed the stomach stops producing acid so at meal time there's not enough acid to digest the food. This creates all kinds of problems; indigestion, gastric reflux, IBS, bad breath, diverticulus, fatty liver, lactose intolerance, allergies, fatigue, you name it. But just a little bit of apple cider vinegar gets the stomach working again.

Apple cider vinegar helped in my weight loss. I have always been watching what I eat,but I do like fresh fryed perch from the bay,anyways the other day I felt a little bloated so I decieded to have a mixed greens salad with red onions,so I mixed up a ACV, grapeseed oil, scallots, garlic, salt and pepper dressing,a day later I felt tired and I had 5 or 6 bowel movements that day. The next day I felt great, stomach ache was gone, bloatness was gone,and I felt awake. So I got out my ACV book and did some research. What I came up with is my body was flushing the toxins from the ACV dressing.So I started taking 2 teaspooons daily with a little water because I love vinegar and I feel great.

It truly does work. My mother was the one who influenced me into taking it. She has lost weight rapidly. Every morning we have a glass boiling water with 2 tablespoons

I took Apple Cider Vinegar Tablets (found at a local health food store). I lost weight, my allergies were better, and even my kidneys. Vinegar is truly AMAZING!

I bought apple cider vinegar pills and took them for weight loss. My friends and neighbors noticed that I was losing weight after about two weeks of taking the pills. I had heard that apple cider vinegar worked for weight loss but was sceptical. Now I'm a believer!!

I have had wonderful results with the ACV! I started taking it to lose weight and let me tell you, it works! Also, any time I even start to get a sore throat I gargle with it and the pain is gone immediately. Praise God for this wonderful stuff!! I am eager to try it on my acne as well.

I used ACV pills 3 years ago with a low carb diet and the weight melted off in 6 months. I lost 50 lbs. Everyone asked what I was doing. I told them and they start the same. I got to the size I wanted to be and and the next thing I knew I stopped taking it and in no time (1 year later) the weight started back. I have tried many diets and none work for me!!! But once again I started this again and now 15 lbs have already come off in 15 days.

I have lost 5 LBS in 7 days by consuming 2TBS of ACV mixed with 8 oz water before every meal! It is amazing! After giving birth to twins, I never thought I would be able to lose the weight so easily and safely! I highly recommend this.

I've been drinking a couple tbsps of _______s raw apple cider vinegar with a liter of water almost every day; and I have noticed better skin, no allergy symptoms, and weight loss. I've begun exercising more as well, but I've noticed that places I normally have problems losing (spare tire) are slimming down much faster than when I've just exercised in the past. It's been two months and I've lost 12 pounds, whereas in the past I've exercised like a maniac and not lost weight this quickly. I drink at least 8 oz. water with vinegar first thing when I wake up to kick in a higher metabolism, then sip for the rest of the day.

This summer I put my two children on a diet after about four weeks I wasn't seeing any loss so I decided to add the ACV and immediately I started seeing the pounds come off. My daughter is 12 and dropped 11 pounds and my son is 10 and dropped 8 pounds. Good luck to all with this amazing miracle cure.
