Lose weight tips can be found everywhere. Don't believe everything you see or hear but every once in a while you may come across a suggestion that actually works. Apple cider vinegar may just be one of those precious finds. Apple cider vinegar is credited wtih many health giving benefits, including helping to lose weight. Google apple cider vinegar to learn about its healthy promoting properties. I am not normally a fan of what may appear as dietary gimmicks to help you lose weight, but this one really does work according to the testimonies of thousands of people who have benefited from this dieting method. If you want to lose weight healthy and successfully with this diet then it is important to follow the instructions. First of all you need to use organic apple cider vinegar. Normal vinegars such as malt vinegar although they may aid the weight loss process are generally considered to be too acidic and also lack some of the trace elements commonly found in apple cider vinegar. The simple recipe is to drink diluted apple cider vinegar approximately 20 minutes before each meal. If you find the taste difficult to get used to then it is acceptable to add a small amount of honey making it a more palatable drink. Unfortunately nobody really knows for certain why the apple cider vinegar works to help you to lose weight.
There are however three explanations that are considered to be credible and have some scientific basis. Vinegar promotes and enhances the body's own natural potential to dispose of excess fat by allowing a given expenditure of energy to burn more calories than it otherwise would have, thus reducing the number of calories that are stored as fat and enabling the body to lose weight. The extra acidity temporarily created in the stomach and other parts of the digestive system help to make the subsequent intake of food more digestible thereby leading to a more rapid passage through the bowel. Drinking the cider vinegar 20 minutes before the meal acts as an appetite suppressant. This small reduction in food intake along with the other benefits mentioned can result in an improvement in the body's ability to lose weight. But you need to be aware that this is not a lose weight fast program. It invariably takes at least a month before any tangible results will be noticed. In fact any noticeable effectiveness of the diet is often not realized until the 3rd month. It goes without saying that whilst embarking on the diet it is not sufficient to just rely on the cider vinegar to lose weight, it is vital to change your eating habits so that when you have reached your target weight you don't revert back to your old ways and put the weight straight back on.
