How to Use Apple Cider Vinegar for Weight Loss

Do you want to lose weight in a healthy and sustainable way? If so, you may want to consider using apple cider vinegar for weight loss. By now, you’ve probably heard all about the health benefits of apple cider vinegar (ACV). From improving gut health to helping with weight loss, ACV is being hailed as a true panacea by many in the natural health community. But what does the science say? Is ACV really all it’s cracked up to be?

Can ACV help me lose weight?

Apple cider vinegar has been used for centuries for its health benefits. Recently, there has been a lot of interest in apple cider vinegar as a weight-loss tool. Studies have found that it can help you lose weight by suppressing your appetite, helping you to feel full for longer, and lowering your blood sugar levels. In this blog post, we will discuss some of the amazing health benefits of ACV and how to use it to help you lose weight. We’ll also provide a simple guide on how to incorporate ACV into your diet for maximum benefit.

What is apple cider vinegar?

Apple cider vinegar, or ACV, is a type of vinegar made from fermented apple juice. It’s a similar process to making cider. Firstly, the juice from crushed apples is fermented together with yeast. This converts the sugar in the apple juice into alcohol. Secondly, natural bacteria feed on the alcohol, which then neutralises it and turns it into acetic acid. ACV contains about 5-6% acetic acid, and studies have proved this has powerful antibacterial properties. It’s also the acetic acid that gives ACV its tart flavour and strong smell.

Unfiltered ACV still contains “the mother,” which is a mix of yeast and bacteria. This helps to give the vinegar its cloudy appearance. Some manufacturers filter out the mother before bottling the vinegar. But many people believe that unfiltered ACV has more health benefits because the mother contains probiotic bacteria.

Health benefits of ACV

In addition to being used as a food condiment, ACV has a long history of being used for medicinal purposes. Hippocrates, the father of medicine, used vinegar to clean wounds more than 2000 years ago. The acetic acid in ACV has strong antibacterial and antifungal properties, which can help to kill harmful bacteria and viruses.

Apple cider vinegar is a popular home remedy for colds and sore throats. It’s also a natural treatment for skin conditions like acne. Additionally, ACV has been shown to improve insulin sensitivity and reduce the risk of diabetes. ACV is a good source of potassium, which is essential for heart health. It also contains other antioxidants that can help to protect cells from damage and promote overall health.

One study showed that ACV helped lower blood sugar levels and improved insulin sensitivity in people with insulin resistance, or type 2 diabetes. Another study showed that ACV may help people to lose weight by reducing appetite and increasing feelings of fullness. Participants consumed 200-275 fewer calories for the rest of the day after adding the vinegar to their meals. So, can apple cider vinegar, or ACV help you lose weight? Definitely, we think!

ACV may also help boost fat burning. A study of obese Japanese participants found that people who took 2 tablespoons of ACV daily for 12 weeks lost 1.7kg of fat mass  and also reduced their triglyceride levels by 26%. Interestingly, those in the placebo group actually gained weight during the study! So ACV definitely helped participants to lose weight.

Overall, consuming ACV may help you lose body fat, as well as reduce your risk of various diseases. It is most effective when used in conjunction with other healthy lifestyle choices.

Tip No. 1 – Only Eat When You’re Hungry!

This has to be our number one, golden rule, when it comes to achieving successful weight loss. In our experience, most overweight people eat for many different reasons, other than physical hunger. But, if you allow your emotions to control your eating habits, then it is unlikely that you will be able to control your weight as a result. So, before you reach for anything to eat, stop and ask yourself first if you physically NEED to eat, or you just WANT to…

Tip No. 2 – Use a Smaller Plate!

You’ve probably heard this many times before, but it’s a fact that people who use larger plates tend to eat more food than those who eat from smaller plates. No doubt you know about the power of optical illusions. But are you aware of just how much more generous the same size portion of food appears, when presented on a smaller plate, instead of a larger one? Have a look at the image below. It’s known as the Delboeuf optical illusion. If you stick to our mantra, “always go for quality over quantity”, then you will definitely lose weight much more easily.

Tip No. 3 – Drink a Glass or Two of Water Before Your Meal!

Reduce your calorie intake by over 20%, with almost with no effort! Research results, published by Harvard Medical showed that people who drank two large glasses of water, just before eating, on average, consumed around 20% less food compared with when they didn’t drink anything before they ate. This is possibly as a result of the stretching and fullness sensation in the stomach.

Tip No. 4 – Eat Slowly and Mindfully!

A growing number of studies have consistently found a correlation between speed of eating and weight, so it is officially accepted now that faster eaters are definitely more likely to become overweight. Studies have also shown that people are much more likely to eat more when their eating is mindless, as opposed to mindful. So, make meal times an occasion by sitting down at a table, with no distractions. Then eat slowly and savour every mouthful. You will naturally eat less food and also find it easier to lose weight as a result!

Tip No. 5 – Stay Away From Sugar and Highly Processed Foods!

It’s a fact that sugar and highly processed foods have addictive properties! So much so, that many people find that once they start eating these foods, they literally can’t stop. And, of course, if you’re making such poor food choices, this in turn will make it almost impossible for you to lose weight. So, our advice is to choose healthy, unprocessed foods and limit the amount of sugar you consume. As a result, you will have far more control over how much you eat and also how much weight you can lose.

Tip No. 6 – Eat Your Favourite Foods on the Plate First!

You may not be aware of how important this tip is, but the order in which you eat your food can actually have a big impact on how much you consume! It’s quite common for overweight people to “save the best til last” when eating. In other words they only eat their favourite food right at the end. It’s not so surprising then, that they also tend to eat everything on their plate, regardless of how uncomfortably full they feel. Because, of course, they don’t want to miss out on the “best bit”!

However, our advice is to eat your favourite things first. Not only will you enjoy it more, but it’s also much easier to stop when you’ve eaten just the right amount and leave the rest on the plate.
