Someone writes that they can’t lose weight, but they’ve been drinking it for three days. Three days is not a long time for this method of fighting extra pounds. To lose weight in a few days, you should go on an express diet, and to make such a diet less painful, you need to drink apple cider vinegar. Its action is designed in such a way that appetite is reduced, which means that the diet is easier. But many who take vinegar write about its positive effects. There are people who, using it, lost up to ten kilograms and did not gain them back after finishing taking it. Everyone noted positive dynamics regarding general well-being.
Another fairly common way to lose weight is to take apple cider vinegar. But is this drink really safe? Will it lead to... to exacerbation of chronic diseases or hidden predispositions to gastritis? In my medical practice, I have repeatedly encountered the consequences of consuming apple cider vinegar; many patients complained of heartburn, nausea, pain in the epigastric region, and heaviness in the stomach after eating.
Some experts do not see anything wrong with using apple cider vinegar, for example, the well-known adherent of alternative medicine, TV presenter Gennady Malakhov, speaks very positively about the properties of apple cider vinegar, recommending it not only for weight loss, but also for the treatment of acne, thyroid diseases, constipation and others diseases. According to his method, it is recommended to use apple vinegar for treatment of diseased joints, arthritis, gout, arthrosis.
Here you can watch a fragment of Gennady Malakhov’s program about the benefits of apple cider vinegar:
But, as you know, what is good for one can be disastrous for another. Therefore, I advise each of my patients to first try taking apple cider vinegar in small doses, assess their condition, and then proceed with the course of treatment with caution.

Reviews about losing weight with apple cider vinegar
In order not to be unfounded, I would like to immediately draw your attention to reviews and results some of my clients. I want to emphasize that I did not recommend drinking apple cider vinegar to my patients; they all came to me for consultation after they had tried to lose weight with it.
Here's what Lydia T., 43 years old, economist, says:
I tried to lose weight in many ways, including apple cider vinegar. At first I couldn’t get used to it, but I forced myself. I bought 6% apple cider vinegar in the store, there was a mark on it that this vinegar was for weight loss. But then I realized that this was just a marketing ploy. It contains apple essence, which is very harmful to the stomach and, as I found out, does not help you lose weight at all. My weight went down at first, I was happy, increased the dose, diluted 2 tablespoons per glass of water. But after a week of morning appointments, she came down with stomach cramps. I couldn’t even get up in the morning, I took nosh-pu and almagel. I had to go to a gastroenterologist, the acute symptoms were relieved, but now I’m wondering how I can still lose weight correctly and safely.
And this is a review of a young girl Anechka, 23 years old, a student who came to me for help after a course of taking apple cider vinegar:
I didn’t have any diseases, my stomach never hurt, so I decided to lose weight with the help of apple cider vinegar. I drank according to the rules - diluted 2 teaspoons in a glass of water and added honey. I drank it in the morning on an empty stomach, and also instead of lunch. Before dinner I also drank a glass of the solution. My appetite really decreased, I lost 4.5 kg in two weeks. But the problem now is that as soon as I eat something, nausea and heaviness appear in my stomach. And this feeling lasts for several hours. I don’t feel like eating at all, I force myself because I have to. But food now causes discomfort, depressed mood and weakness all the time.
I sent Anechka for examination to a gastroenterologist and recommended that she immediately stop taking vinegar solutions. After two weeks of treatment and taking medications, the girl’s condition improved, she began to eat normally, but her weight also began to increase.
One more review so that you don’t get the impression that everything is so bad with vinegar. Mila, 36 years old, works as a storekeeper, says:
I lose weight with apple cider vinegar 2-3 times a year. As soon as I see that the weight is rising, I immediately go on a diet with vinegar. It greatly reduces appetite. And you can lose 3-4 extra pounds in a couple of weeks. But my secret is that I only make vinegar myself. I buy non-acidic apples especially for this and let them sit until they turn into vinegar.
Apple Cider Vinegar Recipe
Homemade apple cider vinegar for weight loss is prepared from ripe apples. The variety depends on your preferences.
Ingredients
- 1 kg apples;
- 10g yeast (you can use dry yeast from a bag);
- 50-100g granulated sugar - the amount depends on the sweetness of the apples themselves - the sweeter they are, the less sugar;
- 2.5 liters of clean hot water (60-70 degrees).
Cooking method:
- First, you need to wash the apples, remove seeds, and cut them quite finely into slices.
- Pour into a glass or enamel container, pour hot water so that the water covers the apples by 4-5cm.
- Add granulated sugar and stir.
- After the water has cooled, add pre-dissolved yeast.
- Cover the container with gauze and leave for 10-14 days in a warm place.
- Stir the contents 2-3 times a day. When the fermentation process is complete, the liquid must be filtered, poured into jars, covered with gauze and left to infuse for another 1.5-2 months. Then the finished apple cider vinegar is bottled, capped and stored in a cellar or refrigerator.
When using, dilute 2 teaspoons of the resulting vinegar in a glass of water. You can add 0.5-1 teaspoon of honey to improve the taste.

How and how much to drink
Typical questions that beginners ask are: how and how much to drink apple cider vinegar for weight loss, how long the course lasts, and what time is best to take it. I'll tell you about everything in order:
- Use only natural vinegar, which you or your mother (or grandmother, girlfriend, neighbor, friend) prepared before your eyes. Make sure you know its ingredients thoroughly, otherwise you may buy a fake that contains apple essence. This will not only have no effect on weight loss, but will also harm your health.
- Dissolve 2 teaspoons in a large glass of water. It’s better to take a measuring cup and pour exactly 250-300 ml. The more water, the safer. You can use a simple formula, for which for every 30 kg of your weight you need to take a teaspoon of vinegar and 120 ml of water. So, if your weight is 60 kg, you need to take 2 teaspoons of vinegar and 240 ml of water.
- You can dissolve a little honey or fruit juice in water and vinegar to improve its taste.
- You need to drink a mixture of water and vinegar through a straw 30 minutes before each meal, for example, in the morning, before breakfast, before lunch and then before dinner. For those who are especially eager to lose weight faster, you can drink another glass 1-1.5 after dinner, but no later than 2 hours before bedtime.
- Do not drink immediately after eating, because you will get slow digestion, heartburn, full stomach. But you shouldn’t drink right before bed either - you won’t fall asleep.
- After drinking the drink, rinse your mouth with warm water or brush your teeth.
Other uses of vinegar
It also happens that you categorically do not like the taste of a vinegar drink, or you cannot drink it for some reason. There are alternative ways to use apple cider vinegar for weight loss:
- if the taste of the vinegar drink becomes boring, it can be added as a dressing to vegetable salads or poured over meat and fish dishes;
- You can season all salads with apple cider vinegar, avoiding the use of mayonnaise, fatty sauces, and vegetable oils;
- Choose light dishes for dinner to make weight loss more effective. For example, vegetables, grilled fish, fresh vegetable salads, baked apples, grilled zucchini stuffed with minced meat and similar delicacies;
- You can drink apple cider vinegar only once a day - in the morning on an empty stomach. To do this, take 15 ml of apple vinegar, 300 ml of water, a tablespoon of honey. The course lasts 30 days, during which you can lose 2-4kg. Then take a break for at least a month and repeat the course if necessary;
- You can also drink apple cider vinegar for those who simply want to improve their body health, speed up metabolism, and reduce unhealthy appetite. To do this, you can dissolve two teaspoons in a glass of warm water, adding a spoonful of honey and drink this composition for a month in the morning immediately after waking up.

Important! I advise you to first test by applying a little diluted vinegar to the back of your forearm; if the skin does not turn red, you can use vinegar for wraps.
- So, after you have made sure that there are no irritations or burns on the skin, saturate a fabric of suitable size with the composition and wrap it around problem areas, for example, wrap the thighs on top with cling film and put on cotton pants. In this form, apple cider vinegar will not harm the stomach, warm the skin, and cause blood flow to problem areas.

Find out your rate of adding vinegar; the skin should be slightly cooled at the same time. When you understand how much vinegar you need to feel the result, you can mix it with the gel directly in the jar so that the composition is always at hand. The usual dose is a third of a glass of vinegar per 200 ml of shower gel.
- Slimming baths with vinegar are also suitable for you. Add two cups of apple cider vinegar to half a bath of hot water. Temperature is about 37-38 degrees. You can take this bath for about 20-30 minutes until the water cools down. Watch the reaction of your body and organism!

Apple cider vinegar capsules
You can find apple cider vinegar in capsules on sale. The composition contains extracts of grape seeds, apples, aloe vera, L-carnitine, vitamin C and other compounds in small quantities.
This Chinese-made drug does not inspire confidence, since all the substances are contained here in microscopic doses, which are unable to somehow affect the process of losing weight. Perhaps taking these capsules will not harm your health, but the effect will tend to zero.
Is it possible to buy healthy apple cider vinegar?
To understand how to choose apple cider vinegar in stores, you need to know that it is produced microbiologically. But most often they use it for this rotten fruit or expired apple juice, which cannot be realized in its natural form. Apple cider vinegar still has benefits:
- the bacteria that appear in the raw materials are called Acetobacter aceti and during the fermentation process they turn into ethanol alcohol;
- during fermentation, useful substances, vitamins, iron, pectin, fiber, chromium, etc. pass into vinegar;
- the fermentation process transforms the composition of the raw material, improving and enriching it. So, in the case of apple cider vinegar, it contains several times more amino acids than in fresh fruits;
- Industrially produced vinegar lasts for 2 years. Beneficial bacteria retain their vital activity, but at the same time, harmful microorganisms do not multiply;
- The finished vinegar is stored in dark, cool rooms, protected from direct sunlight. After pasteurization or distillation, vinegar has a clear color and a distinct odor. It can be stored for a long time, but useful properties it has practically no effect and does not help with weight loss;
- if the vinegar has not gone through the pasteurization process, then the bottle will say that it is a “bio” product. Its color is yellowish apple in color, it has a pronounced fruity aroma, and there is often a sediment in the form of flakes or foam appears when the container is shaken.
For weight loss, raw vinegar that has not undergone heat treatment is suitable. This is what you should use for weight loss purposes.
Properties of apple cider vinegar
I’ll tell you a little more about the properties of vinegar on apples, so that you can understand why this product began to be used for weight loss.

We can only say with confidence that thanks to the chromium contained in the composition, appetite really decreases. And pectin promotes a quicker feeling of fullness, so you will eat less at lunch and dinner.
But this does not apply to everyone. If, while using vinegar, you continue to constantly eat sweets, baked goods, and fatty foods, you will not be able to lose weight.

Positive results were obtained, but only on experimental mice, which became leaner at the genetic level and produced offspring that were not prone to obesity. Similar results were seen in rats. blood cholesterol levels decreased.
Based on these studies, pharmacologists began to produce apple cider vinegar capsules, which were already mentioned above.
