Apple cider vinegar has many health benefits, including helping people to lose unwanted pounds. The properties of apple cider vinegar (ACV) have been shown to reduce LDL cholesterol, improve blood sugar levels, and reduce cravings for unhealthy foods. Here's how you can lose weight with apple cider vinegar.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Add one table spoon of apple cider vinegar to a glass of eight to twelve ounces of water. Although some people suggest adding two to three tablespoons of ACV to a glass of water, recent studies have shown that just one tablespoon is just as effective as two or three. You can drink this mixture up to three times a day. By adding this to the daily diet intake, some people have lost weight easily, without changing anything else in their lives.

  2. Step 2

    Use a mixture of apple cider vinegar and extra virgin olive oil on your salads, instead of regular salad dressings or vinaigrette. This way, you get the flavor of a typical vinaigrette, with the added health and weight loss benefits that apple cider vinegar affords.

  3. Step 3

    To reap the full benefits of losing weight with apple cider vinegar, you must use unfiltered apple cider vinegar that still has the "mother" in it. This kind of apple cider vinegar is cloudy (looking more like apple cider, rather than the clearer version sold in most grocery stores). Brands like Bragg Organic apple cider vinegar are used by most people who have added apple cider vinegar into their weight loss plan.

on 3/22/2009 Apple cider as lemon and similar sours add the element of AIR to food and make it more digestible. The unfiltered form is always the best. For weight loss a little more than normal goes a long way. Thanks for the topic.
