There are many who swear by the weight loss benefits of apple cider vinegar.  But in order for the apple cider vinegar to be effective, it must be made from the double fermentation of whole apples and it should not be distilled, pasteurized or filtered as this extra processing destroys many of the vitamins, nutrients and fermentation benefits that are thought to be important elements in apple cider vinegar's health benefits and weight loss properties.

Most apple cider vinegar weight loss home remedies, such as the one investigated by Vermont physician Dr D. C. Jarvis, M.D., require taking of one or two teaspoons of apple cider vinegar in a glass of water before each meal.
Patricia Bragg, whose company makes apple cider vinegar, suggests adding 1 or 2 teaspoons of raw honey to the vinegar-water mixture.

It is believed that the nutrients, enzymes and organic acids in apple cider vinegar cause weight reduction by acting as an appetite suppressant, increase metabolic rate, reduce water retention, and provide a feeling of overall well being.

The weight loss will be extremely gradual, as the body's fat cells shrink with the use of the apple cider vinegar.  If you can tolerate it, two tablespoons are recommended for extra potency.

Just taking the apple cider vinegar will help you lose some 15 pounds per year if you do nothing else but sip the mixture.  Reducing calories, exercising and cutting down on processed foods should further aid in losing weight.

 

Apple cider vinegar is an all-natural product that probably wouldn’t hurt trying for at least a year or so to see whether it actually helps to shed a few pounds – why not?
