Have you tried apple cider vinegar for weight loss/appetite suppressant?

Monday, December 21st, 2009

Hello. My doctor told me to try taking a tsp of apple cider vinegar before meals to help suppress my appetite and lose weight. Has anyone else done this? Does it help? How do you get over that taste?

vinegar as an appetite suppressant? not so effective for most.

the main purpose of adding vinegar to the diet is to lower the glycemic effect of a high carbohydrate meal. by lowering the glycemic effect or the rate at which blood sugar rises after a meal is that it reduces the amount of insulin that is secreted. by reducing the amount of insulin that is secreted the potential for fat storage is decreased. elevated insulin levels also stop the fat burning process. keeping insulin levels low and stable over the course of the day helps to keep the fat burning steady and to keep from overeating.

1 tablespoon after a high carb meal is all that’s needed
