How Does the Liquid Apple Cider Vinegar Diet Work?

Ingredients

According to applecidervinegardietrecipe.com, each serving of apple cider vinegar contains: vitamins A, C, E, B1 and B2; betacarotene; carbolic acid; ethyl acetates; calcium; copper; iron; magnesium; phosphorus; potassium; silicon; sodium and 18 varieties of alcohol. Apple cider vinegar can be purchased from a grocery store.

Process

The apple cider diet is not an actual diet, but rather a supplement to a healthful lifestyle. Dietsinreview.com recommends that you take a maximum of three teaspoons of apple cider vinegar at a time. Consume the apple cider vinegar about 15 minutes before every meal. Drink a glass of water with it. Choose organic apple cider vinegar because it is less refined. Stomach problems may arise, so you may consider opting for one teaspoon at a time and gradually adding more as your body gets accustomed to the apple cider vinegar. If you do not care for the taste, apple cider vinegar is also available in tablet form in health food stores.

Weight Loss

The apple cider diet is marketed to speed up your metabolism and decrease your appetite. However, according to applecidervinegardietrecipe.com, there is no concrete scientific evidence that apple cider vinegar directly causes weight loss. Still, such a diet should not cause harm if you use it as a supplement, states everydaydiet.org. The apple cider diet itself will not cause you to gain more weight. According to everydaydiet.org, the apple cider diet was once touted by Dr. D.C. Jarvis during the 1950s to prevent fat storage, due to the tonic water contained in the apple cider vinegar.

Other Benefits

Dr. D.C. Jarvis also believed that the apple cider diet helped to remove cholesterol, due to the pectin contained in the vinegar. Applecidervinegardietrecipe.com states that the ingredients in the apple cider vinegar diet help detoxify your body. The website also states that this type of detoxification can help with kidney problems, constipation, fatigue, diarrhea, acne and nosebleeds. Do not use the apple cider diet to treat any diseases, unless directed by your health care professional.
