Drinking organic apple cider vinegar daily can help you lose weight. Apple cider vinegar has many healthful properties, including high potassium and an alkaline-forming effect upon the body. This is good because high acid in the body can create an unbalanced body chemistry. Much like acidic lemons, apple cider vinegar is an acidic substance that alkalizes the body, according to "The Miracle of Fasting." Drinking it regularly can help to detoxify the body, suppress hunger, stabilize blood sugar and ultimately accelerate weight loss.
Step 1
Combine one or two Tbsp of organic vinegar, one Tbsp honey and six to eight oz of distilled water. "The Miracle of Fasting" recommends drinking this beverage three to five times per day. You may also replace the honey with stevia extract, a natural herbal sweetener that is a great alternative for diabetics and individuals avoiding sugars.
Step 2
Have a vinegar health drink upon waking, before eating your first meal. "The Miracle of Fasting" claims that this health drink can give you energy and help you body process toxins and remove them safely. This is a great way to start off your day with energy and balance.
Step 3
Drink a vinegar drink before each meal. Apple cider vinegar can help with digestion and acid reflux. In addition, it is a natural appetite suppressant and may help prevent over-eating at meals. In addition, drink a full 12 to 16 oz glass of water with each meal to help speed up metabolism.
Step 4
Enjoy your vinegar drink with your meal. Mixing together a vinegar drink on ice is a delicious addition to any meal. Add a tbsp or two of acai, pomegranate or goji juice to get the added benefit of detoxifying, energizing antioxidants. Apple cider vinegar, in particular, can help to keep blood sugar levels stable, preventing undue fat storage.
Step 5
Use vinegar in conjunction with a one- to three-day fast. The book "Apple Cider Vinegar" recommends this for accelerating weight loss. Snack on fruits, veggies and nuts and seeds rather than starving yourself. The vinegar drink can help with suppressing hunger and keeping you energized.
