yoga1st Senior Member Posts: 150 From:washington Registered: Jun 2003	posted 06-02-2003 02:11 AM I just started drinking the ACV this morning and was quite suprised with the taste I actually like it , it is real refreshing and I could tell it had cleansing properties right away, I just mixed it with cold water, I am using the Bragg's Organic Raw Apple Cider Vinegar, I am nursing my 4th child so I am curious to see if he notices a change in taste with my breast milk but so far he doesn't seem to be bothered by it,I found the suggestion for this drink ~I omitted the honey~ online after looking up heart disease and other womans health issues after watching an Oprah show and although I have lost all my baby weight from this child I am still carrying 10 pounds each from my other 3 ~sigh~ I will post later to inform you of any weight loss ~~ my only "excercise" that I do is yoga 3x's a week~~ vicky IP: Logged
luvPeace Senior Member Posts: 139 From: Registered: May 2003	posted 06-02-2003 11:32 AM Wow!!!!!!! thats lot of facts abt ACV.Am sure thanx to u jodimarie75, mindspin, vlasik, QweenyBluEyes and others with this info we will all be more encouraged to stick with ACV.Am glad I made a wise decision and I hope others will too. Well I stood on my scale this morning and I found I lost 3-4 pounds inspite of me not able to walk or excise for 4 days and not taking ACV regularly (i.e..when I was subjected to eat outside while selecting fornitures and doing heavy shopping).So I feel this is a good sign.I have 15 more to loose.And am sure if I progress each week in the same way I mite loose by independece weekend.Wow wish I cud then I can get a new wardrobe for myself in long weekend sale...Am I hoping TOOOOOOO soon...ok let me wait and see...thankx guys for motivating, encouraging and supporting me.Hope I go on shedding instead of gaining. CONCLUSION: ACV DID WORK (I bought HEINZ brand from local food store as suggested by vlasik and bought 2 more this weekend as one is jus' enuf for week.) GOODLUCK EVERYONE.. IP: Logged

MelissaAnn Junior Member Posts: 16 From:Logansport, IN, USA Registered: May 2003	posted 06-02-2003 02:09 PM Ok, you all have convinced me!!!!! I just went and bought a bottle of ACV, and mixed me up a "cocktail" when I got home from the store. I didn't think the taste was all that bad. Also, my husband has a lot of trouble with acid indegestion, and is also wanting to lose weight. I am going to show him this thread, and try to convince him of trying this with me. I will keep you posted on the progress. I do have one other question... I am wanting to lose about 70 pounds, how long do you think it will take on this ACV diet to reach my goal??? Thanks to all for their very informative posts!!!!!! IP: Logged

I been sleeping so early now and I wake up so early. Usually I go to sleep at 1am -2am but this week i feel sleepy before 12. I am quite happy since I always wanted to go to sleep early and wake up early. About the weight... hmmm... not sure..(hehe) since I been eating more lately too. Oh no... going out again!

libby Senior Member Posts: 141 From:colorado springs, co, usa Registered: May 2003	posted 06-03-2003 02:17 PM Is it okay to REALLY dilute the ACV? Maybe even up to 3 cups of fluid? Hoping! IP: Logged
heres1-4u Senior Member Posts: 89 From: Registered: Jun 2003	posted 06-03-2003 10:37 PM I was wondering the same thing. I don't mind the taste of it, but if I could drink it with more water, it would taste much better!! I did talk my husband into trying it with me. I was just told that my Aunt had tried this, and she lost at least 30 pounds!! That gives me more hope with this. Hubby and I are even going to start packing it in the diaper bag to take with us whenever we leave the house for times when we are eating out or at someone's house. I don't see why it would be a problem to mix up a batch and keep in a tightly closed bottle, the honey and ACV are shelf stable, so I don't see where it would pose a problem to keep some handy. If I am wrong about this, please correct me. IP: Logged
texciana Junior Member Posts: 20 From:Texas Registered: May 2003	posted 06-03-2003 10:55 PM Well, I just bought a bottle of acv and I am on Day 2. Two tbsp of acv w/ about 2-3 tbsp of water and chug it down as fast as I can. It tastes terrible and it stinks terrible but its worth a try since I have like 25 lbs to lose before Aug 16. I need to ask: is everyone SURE that the acv pills don't work? I'd much rather take them than drink this stuff. IP: Logged
Vlasik Senior Member Posts: 186 From:Boston, MA Registered: May 2003	posted 06-04-2003 09:30 AM you should not dilute it that much because then the concentration of vinegar that you are getting is not enough to properly burn fat. the ideal ios 2tbls of acv with 8oz of water. you can put 2 tbls of acv and less water so that you can drink it really fast. quote: Originally posted by libby: Is it okay to REALLY dilute the ACV?

sweetdreamer96 Junior Member Posts: 11 From:USA Registered: May 2003	posted 06-04-2003 09:42 AM I don't care much for the taste either, but it is the smell that kicks in the gag reflex for me. I use as little water as possible in the mix and hold my nose while drinking it. quote: Originally posted by heres1-4u: ...Hubby and I are even going to start packing it in the diaper bag to take with us whenever we leave the house for times when we are eating out or at someone's house.

libby Senior Member Posts: 141 From:colorado springs, co, usa Registered: May 2003	posted 06-04-2003 10:24 AM Thank you so much for responding to my question. Okay...I am giving it a try! IP: Logged
GoinCruisin Veteran Posts: 370 From:Raleigh, NC Registered: Jun 2003	posted 06-04-2003 10:50 AM Hey! Okay, I use to take ACV tablets, it really does wonders for the skin and gives you a natural energy... but I switched over to ACV in the natural form several days ago... there is a big difference in the energy boost you get!!! It also helps to keep you regular (if ya know what I mean)... I do mix my 2 tblsp with my Ruby Red, that way I get my grapefruit and vinegar... both I like to have 30 minutes before i eat, I eat fruit on an empty tummy, and consider my grapefruit juice my fruit.. so that may help with my energy? Who knows... Also, the strong taste of both blend well and make it bearable!!!! IP: Logged

Hey even I wanted to do the same stock it in diaper bag and use it whenver am subjected to eat out while we are shopping but I was wondering whether it will be safe to use airtight plastic bottle or do I use only glass bottle..am bit vary abt the glass one incase my lil' one breaks it.Pls do let me know.Like you my deadline is july mid or latest august mid and need to shed off 14 pounds.Hope ACV helps me in succeeding. Sweetdreamer I did read in some net articles that sum peoplep who buy the ACV store product that does not have mother in it they try to mix vinegar and honey and store it for a while to ferment and let mother(whatever develop) for speedy weight loss and hence I guess we can very well stock it in bottle..PLEASE PLEASE DO CORRECT ME IF AM WRONG...I DONT WANT TO MISLEAD ANYONE..GOODLUCK!!!!!!!

Vlasik Senior Member Posts: 186 From:Boston, MA Registered: May 2003	posted 06-05-2003 12:37 AM guys i think that you can carry your mix with you. As long as it is for a few hors, I mean, a wrkday, then it shoud be fine. Just make sure you make when you are leaving home and store preferably in a glass botle. I know some people have kids and that is not a good idea, but plastic is just polymers that are not great at conserving the properties of the drink. Plastic is just cheaper.(chemist talking). So anyway, if you need to take your drink with you, then try to use a glass botle. if you do not have one, then plastic will have to be. Go for it. IP: Logged

Thanx a million vlasik.Jus' to get used to already mixed up drink..s'day I mixed up the drink and stocked it in bottle and surprisingly I found the taste and smell better.Yep am too panicky abt the glass bottle but you are right abt the polymer and plastics may react to the acidity..will try to find some unbreakable glass bottle for easy and safe carry out. Was jus' wonddering whether its safe to use ACV pills and ACV drink simultaneously ???I jus' wanted to try the pills too. IP: Logged

(heinz acv) However I took 2tbsp in 8oz of warm water and at first I was okay with the taste and by the middle I was starting not to like it and by the end I almost "got sick" (to put it nicely) For about 10-15 min I felt like I could get sick at any time. I am still wondering is it 2 teaspoons or 2 tablespoons? I have seen it listed both ways, here and other websites. I agree with what someone said earlier as to WHY you dont feel like eating! Bleh!

Vlasik Senior Member Posts: 186 From:Boston, MA Registered: May 2003	posted 06-05-2003 10:12 PM Hi luvpeace, it is safe to take the drinks and the pills at the same time. I did that for a while and it was fine for me. I only took a bottle os pills that I bought from GNC, and did not bother to buy more and continue. It was just an extra expense that I did not want to have :-) quote: Originally posted by luvPeace: THANX FOR REPLYING..SURE TAKE UR OWN TIME AND DO LET US KNOW ABT YOUR AUNTS SUCCESS..HOPE UR HUB AGREED TO ACV DRINK...GOODLUCK..

keren Senior Member Posts: 114 From:US Registered: Jul 2001	posted 06-06-2003 12:27 AM i have a question .. i know its probably better to drink the acv drink warm because drinking warm liquids make u feel much more fuller than a cold beverage. my question is..does anyone just drink it cold, perhaps, make it beforehand, let it cool, put it in the refrigerator and drink it cold ? and are the results slower or the same as the warm acv drink? today since i didnt have acv, i just used plain vinegar and some apple juice which i diluted with water.. the plain vinegar has the same acidity as the acv so since i didnt have the acv today..just decided to use the plain for today. thanks in advance for any replies IP: Logged
yoga1st Senior Member Posts: 150 From:washington Registered: Jun 2003	posted 06-06-2003 01:18 AM I have to drink it cold ~ i even use ice , I tried it warm when I put the honey in it but then it was just gross , to me when its cold its more of a refreshing drink, so I drink it without honey and I will never ever use regular vinegar ever again for cooking purposes!! they make it out of coal~ tar I can't remember if its both or one of them but that can't be healthy, I also read something on margrine and now that blobby stuff is not in my kitchen either ~~scary~~ yoga IP: Logged
Vlasik Senior Member Posts: 186 From:Boston, MA Registered: May 2003	posted 06-06-2003 01:39 AM It is best to drink it warm because warm drinks make you feel fuller faster. Also, if it is warm the honey(for those of you who are using honey)dissolves better. The higher temperature sort of makes the honey"melt" and mix with the other ingredients in the mix. IP: Logged
