Does apple cider vinegar help with weight loss or maintenance?

yes, when used properly. vinegar helps to reduce the glycemic response to a high carbohydrate meal. the rate at which a food item raises blood sugar levels is called the glycemic index (GI). when blood sugar rises to rapidly there is a related insulin response. Insulin is a storage hormone used to metabolize nutrients and in essence "push" them into skeletal muscle.
by decreasing the GI of a meal thus lowering the related insulin response the "potential" for fat storage from a high carb meal is decreased.
