The Basic Premise

Besides lowering your blood sugar levels, apple cider vinegar can also help you lose weight. Acetic acid is the main active ingredient. A tablespoon has very negligible calories.

What Happens After Consuming Apple Cider Vinegar

High blood sugar levels mean that sugar is in your blood in an amount too abundant to be absorbed. After apple cider vinegar consumption, your liver and muscles will absorb sugar from your blood more easily.
Your insulin will drop in a way that will stimulate fat burning.
Your metabolism will skyrocket.
Metabolism leads to more burning and more weight loss.
In other words, your fat storage will be reduced.
You will take in more oxygen and expend more energy.
Your appetite will be under control, so binge eating becomes less of a worry.
You will feel fuller, especially when coupling apple cider vinegar with foods that are high in starch. Some attribute this particular effect to mild nausea, which seems to be a blessing in disguise.
You will likely reduce your food consumption by at least 200 calories effortlessly.

How Much is Needed

All you need is 15-30 ml a day. When it comes to dividing up the portions, it is recommended that you do so two or three times a day. That will prevent nausea and also injuring your esophagus. Also, be careful about your tooth enamel.

A Simple Recipe

Here is a simple recipe that you can use:

1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar
8 ounces of water
. 1 tablespoon of Stevia (this is optional)
¼ cup of apple juice (this is optional)

Healthy Alternatives

If you prefer not to drink it directly or would like to combine the effects by spreading your apple cider vinegar usage elsewhere, you can also use it as a salad dressing. Furthermore, you can be more creative and spray it on food that you think would go nicely with apple cider vinegar. Alternatively, you can add apple cider vinegar to olive oil. Although highly unrecommended, others might take it like a shot of vodka.

Time Expectation

Apple cider vinegar needs some “apple cider patience” on your part. In all honesty, this is not an overnight ordeal that will magically turn you from fat to slim. You might need three to five months to see any drastic change. That is because this is not necessarily a full, structured diet, but more of a supplement to an overall healthy lifestyle you have to live.

Additional Efforts

You need to also focus on exercise and adequate sleep. When it comes to exercise, consider weightlifting or simply hitting the treadmill or other types of cardio. When it comes to sleep, allegedly, 7 to 8 hours is universally adequate in general for both genders, all ages, and all body types. Combining the aforementioned with consistent apple cider vinegar consumption will get you on the right path to becoming not only a slimmer you, but also a better you.
