I lost 5.4 lbs. in one week!

by Iris
(Greenville, NC)

French translation


This is an email that I sent to my co-worker after taking ACV for just one week:

Good Morning Cheri,

I am very pleased to share with you that today marks my first week on the apple cidar vinegar diet. I really don’t consider it a diet at all because I still eat what I want.

In one week, I lost a total of 5.4 lbs! Isn’t that amazing! I mean, that is without dieting or starving.

That vinegar must have some truly fat burning properties because IT WORKS! (You can tell how excited I am…LOL!!!)

Once again, THANK YOU so much for telling me about this perfect home remedy for losing weight.

And, GOOD LUCK TO YOU in your reducing efforts!

starstarstarstarstar 		Food choices changed
by: Twinkle Toes

It has been about two months now. I think I am on my second big bottle of Braggs unfiltered ACV.
I went out to dinner last night. My son and I decided to split a desert. But honestly, I only ate a bit or two. The food I desire is different. Less sugar I think. When people are joining a diet, they are thinking I can't eat this or that and feel deprived. I decided this time that if I really want something, at least in moderation, I am going to eat it. I also want to walk more and go to the gym more. Been sick lately, with bronchitis so no, I am not getting there. The nice thing is the ACV is slowly changing my cravings and choices. Maybe the research is right; that women who do not change one thing about their diet (consciously) seem to loose about 20 pounds a year. Maybe they just start to make some better choices and not crave the wrong things as much. Just a thought worth pondering. I think ACV works on many levels.

I have said before, I need my own page. I enjoy blogging about my progress, honestly.

I am 57. Have quite a bit to loose and seem to have tried about every weight loss therapy. This is slow but steady and it just has me hooked.

Until next time...Twinkle Toes

by: Twinkle Toes

Well, not too much weight loss but, I quit smoking recently.

Did the ACV help? Maybe.

The break down looks like this: Quit smoking, got a cold that moved into my lungs and severe bronchitis. It was very productive. Mucus. Lots of it. Could the ACV have helped clean up my lungs in such an extraordinary way? Then the other end. History of bladder problems which I read can be caused by smoking. The relationship is unclear to me between nicotine and the bladder but it exists. Urine collection seems to be improved with my body. That means I am eliminating more toxins via urine out of me. That is good.

All of this is moving me closer to a healthier me. It would be nice to see the scale move down faster, but, being healthier, and more energetic is very important.

My lungs should be able to take in more oxygen and then that should up my metabolism just a bit.
I will let you know.

by: Anonymous

Hi I read somewhere that ACV was good for weight loss so I thought I would give it a try.

I started yesterday but this morning when I woke up I had so much energy. I cleaned my entire house and wasn't even tired, before I would be tired just doing half.

I also got to sleep really well last night, I haven't done that in a long time, I have problems falling asleep but last night fell asleep right away.

So far, I'm loving the benefits. I will see in a week how much weight I have lost and also add some exercise too to help.

Wish me luck

starstarstarstarstar 		Just started...
by: Tsuki

Well, I have just started my routine of drinking ACV. I have bought 1 big bottle of ACV last year and I used it to make some mask for my face but I just gotten lazy and so the entire bottle is left in my fridge untouched.

But I have heard of ACV weight loss and thought of trying it. At the same time, that bottle left in my fridge will not go wasted.

So, basically I have just started taking it 3 days ago. I don't feel any difference yet but I will religiously taking it everyday until that entire bottle has finished.

Right now, I am taking 4 tablespoons per day. 1 mix 2 tablespoons of ACV diluted with 1 cup of water plus 2 tablespoons of raw honey. Tastes like apple juice to me. haha! I take it about an hour after meal. I read this page saying that it should be taken before meal but I guess taking a glass of plain water itself is able to suppress appetite before meal. I realized by taking it an hour after meal, I feel that my stomach "emptied" pretty fast. Means I feel as if I am hungry or something but I didn't eat after that. I am taking it after lunch and before going to bed.

I don't know... Perhaps I should start trying to take it before meal instead.

by: Twinkle Toes

That is really fast! What area of the country do you live in? I am impressed.

I have lots to loose. I do think working out makes a huge difference. I am going to try it this week and see.

I have lost too but more slowly. I lost 2 pounds this week. For me that is good.

starstarstarstarstar 		It's working
by: Devil Dawg

Since I started I have lost 6lbs in 3 days.

I'm right back down to 170 and still working on getting to my goal which is 160 to 165.

Remember work-out everyday that is the key even if it is for 30 min try not to get to relax.

starstarstarstarstar 		i think it may be working
by: joanne

Hi, well only been doing the acv for about 2 days.

I used to be able to eat so much. Now that I do the acv at least twice a day, I can't eat that much at all.

Looking forward to more progress.

starstarstarstarstar 		Day 2
by: Anonymous

To a surprise to myself that I know it's truly working for me.

I had lunch today and the normal meal that I usually eat and it's consider to be a low portion, I can't finish at all.

I have also been exercising twice a day, I run about 1.5 to 2 miles at a moderate pace, and in between your run do short but explosive exercise, then work on your core strength with 30 second interval.

Also if you feel the need, stretch your muscles if they feel tight. Then finish it off with 15 to 20 min rest in the sauna. That so far has been my routine.

Remember outdoor running is better then indoor.

Keep you all posted.

starstarstarstarstar 		Welcome to Devil Dawg, Joann and Bishi
by: Twinkle Toes

I keep watching this thread, and I am curious about how all of you are doing. Please keep us up to date. Went to Phoenix last week and was off the "juice" for about 4 days. Since I left in a rain/snow/sleet storm I forgot some things. I was just anxious to get to the valley.

It has been a month since beginning this program and I can say that over all I pee more. I do believe water weight is starting to come off.

Like Devil Dawg says exercise and other life style changes can help. Those are going to be added this month.

My main focus was just developing a "habit" last month. If you do something for 21 days, it starts to become a habit.

Thanks for your input. I think I am going to start a twinkle toes page.

Cheers.

starstarstarstarstar 		About to do it.
by: Devil Dawg

The thought of ACV never crossed my mind until a friend of mines tried it when he went home for vacation. Now every comment that I am reading is so far true. He was also feeling the same way. Now that I have read your comments and seen what you have experienced, that makes me want to try it even more. But for the rest, just ACV alone is not enough to get in shape. Exercising is the true key.
Adding ACV is just a plus. Remember 30 minutes a day is all you need. But don't half ACV, cause you'll be just cheating yourself.

Good luck!

starstarstarstarstar 		I did weight today
by: Twinkle Toes

It has been a few weeks now. Maybe I am a few pounds lighter, I did actually weigh today. The Holidays usually result in about a 10 pound gain, but, I think I have lost 2 pounds in the last month without changing my diet at all.

The thing that I notice is better digestion and it just feels like junk is getting removed from my intestines.

There is less bloating around my middle section.

I think I will need to work a little harder to see more weight loss. But, I am encouraged already and feel better.

starstarstarstarstar 		My way of taking ACV
by: Twinkle Toes

I just wanted to add, that my son also has a weight problem. He adds a tablespoon of ACV and honey to warm water. I can't do it that way. I shoot a tablespoon at a time, several times a day and before going to bed at night. That means, I pour a tablespoon of regular store bought...ACV into a shot glass and down it. Then I chase it with a glass of water.

I have noticed that some people like to put it in tomatoe or V8 juice. I say whatever works. Also there are ACV capsules available. I have some of those too. The capsules are nice if you are on the go..you can put them in a pill box and take them. When I am home I just take the real thing.

I also believe that the water is a key element in this process. I am going to be shopping the local health food store for unfiltered raw ACV in the near future. I am seeing results with the regular cheap stuff right now.

I hope that helps and I will continue to update. Good luck and please comment.

by: Twinkle Toes

My clothes are looser. The amazing thing is my stomach just feels better, flatter. I can feel the puffiness going down in my face and stomach. I have been doing this about a week, I can't wait to actually weigh.

starstarstarstarstar 		It really does work!
by: Amri

I started 4 days ago with the acv.

I didn't know much about it till I went to the grocery store to buy salad dressing and seen that and wanted to actually try it out so the first thing I did I googled to see if it's good or not.

I started drinking 2 times a day acv when in the afternoon and late at night. I've lost 3 pounds in 4 days. I drink only water & eat fruits more.

I'm down to 130, now my goal is 120 or 115. I know by using this it will really help me, goodluck to everyone :)

starstarstarstarstar 		Loving my body more
by: Twinkle Toes

I am having results now, after about a week. I only weigh once a month.

Don't just focus on pounds and weight loss. Oddly I started with the Abraham Hicks DVD, Think and grow thin. My food problems tend to be emotional eating. They say the most important place to start is with self love and appreciation. Get Happy, anyway you can and there will be a bounce in your step.

Find a purpose for your life. In other words, some people are couch potatoes moping around the house. That can't be good. Do things you enjoy, like walk with a friend, get an ipod and dance around the house etc. Make a salad dressing out of ACV and olive oil and seasonings...homemade is best. Add it to tomatoe juice and chase with another glass of ice water.

I am more vegetarian now too. I eat kinder for all living things have consciousness. Look pretty no matter how much you weigh...take time to groom and look attractive. I add vitamins and minerals to my own life...it really helps my overall well being.

Edgar Cayce said the ACV makes the body more alkaline, even though it is acidic. He also recommends adding lemon juice to things and drinking a small amount of no sugar added grape juice before each meal. Get a pretty wine glass, fill it with grape juice and water and sip it while cooking. Now that is the appetite suppressant that works for me.

If people aren't seeing immediate results it might be for other reasons. Some of us are water retainers and will shed a great deal in the beginning, some won't. I would look at the many benefits of what you are doing and if you must add a bit more exercise to see greater weight loss then do so and watch out for dairy and white flour products. Those are my two problem children. Use moderation with sugar too.

I will be back next month to update. Feel better, don't worry, be happy.

starstarstarstarstar 		Just Starting Out...
by: AnnaME

When your 80 year old family starts to extol the virtues of ACV then you KNOW that you have to pick some up too. He was recommending it for my insomnia, but I'm much more turned on for its weight loss properties.

But just a couple of questions...

Hubby and I are going to try it as a half and half shot (1 tbsp ACV with V-Go:seasoned V8) before dinner. I'll probably try for 3 times a day though as I'm around home.

I was reading that most people are trying 2 tbsps though... what do you think?

And are you just using plain old grocery store ACV, or do you pick up something fancier at the health food store?

Please advise when you can.
Thanks bunches.

starstarstarstarstar 		I'm trying it - I'll follow up with you
by: Mememe

I'm just adding a twist to it and having a "shot glass" of apple cider vinegar before an 8 oz glass of water , and that's before every meal.

Also trying to blend a variety of info I have compiled into a meal plan ..... I hope to lower my fat intake , lower my sodium intake , cleanse my system , and lose weight in the process.

Final results I hope for are weight loss , lower blood pressure and less water retention and the ability to endure healthy exercise ! wish me luck and I will definitely keep everyone posted .
