Apple Cider Vinegar Diet- Acidify your Diet! Lose weight fast with the Apple Cider Vinegar Diet!

The apple cider vinegar became well known in the U.S. in the late 1950s, when Deforrest Clinton Jarvis (1881-1966), a Vermont medical doctor, published his best-selling book Folk Medicine: A Vermont Doctor’s Guide to Good Health.  In this book, Dr. D.C. Jarvis states that numerous common affections, like colds, infections, rheumatism and arthritis may be relieved, and even cured with 1 or 2 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar dissolved in a glass of water and taken several times per day, as needed.

In Dr.’s Jarvis opinion, one of the benefits of acidifying your diet each day with some apple cider vinegar is losing weight, too. Even if this doctor’s recommendations are more than 60 years old, the Apple Cider Vinegar Diet gets credits nowadays, too, being considered a successful diet for losing weight.

People following the Apple Cider Vinegar Diet can lose up to 5 kilograms in two weeks. The advantage is that there is no specific meal plan on the Apple Cider Vinegar Diet.  Individuals can eat what they want as long as they eat a well balanced diet and they do not exaggerate with the size of the portions.

On this Diet, dieters will consume 1 to 2 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar dissolved in one glass of water 15 minutes prior to each meal.

The apple vinegar pills may contain apple cider vinegar only, or they may contain, besides the vinegar, other metabolic boosters like Cayenne Pepper, Ginger Root Powder, or Garcinia Cambogia Fruit Extract.

How does the Apple Cider Vinegar Diet work?

• Similar to apples, the apple cider vinegar contains pectin, a soluble fiber which can suppress appetite.
• It works as a stimulator for the taste buds. With the taste buds working well, it’s easier to appreciate the flavors of foods, so cravings will be kept away longer.
• Acids from the apple cider vinegar help with the digestion of protein, and control the production some hormones, especially growth hormone, which play an essential role  in breaking down fat cells. Acidifying your diet increase the availability of protein for hormone synthesis.
• The apple cider vinegar stimulates digestion, reducing the amount of time that fats remains in the digestive system. The more the fats stay in the digestive tract, the more fats will be absorbed.
• Acids from the apple cider vinegar release the iron from the ingested food faster. Absorbing higher quantities of iron stimulates the energy burning in the body: iron is a key component in substances that carry oxygen to the cells and hold it there. Faster energy consumption means faster weight loss.
• Regulates blood sugar level and improves metabolism.
•  Taken on a regular basis, contributes with potassium to help balance the sodium in the diet. Replacing salt with apple cider vinegar will limit water retention and the temptation of fatty foods.

Risks of the Apple Cider Vinegar Diet

• Taken alone, due to its high acidity, may cause throat and stomach irritation, and it may even damage teeth enamel. It should always be diluted with water or juice before you swallow it.
• Long-term use can cause potassium deficiencies and worsen osteoporosis.
• It contains chromium, which can affect a person’s insulin levels, so diabetic persons should be very careful with the use of apple vinegar.
• It may interact with certain drugs, so it is highly recommended to ask for your doctor’s opinion before taking regular doses of apple cider vinegar.
