Apple cider vinegar can shed ~7 pounds a month and reduce insulin resistance, a new study demonstrates. (🧵1/7)

This study was published last year in the prestigious British Medical Journal. It involved 120 people, giving them either: ◇ 1 tsp apple cider vinegar (group 1) ◇ 2 tsp (group 2) ◇ 3 tsp (group 3) ◇ Placebo (group 4) No other changes in diet or supplements. (2/7)

At baseline, all groups were equal in all measures. They looked at: ➥ Weight ➥ BMI ➥ Waist circumfrence ➥ Hip circumfrence ➥ Body fat % ➥ Fasting blood sugar ➥ Lipids (3/7)

Apple cider vinegar improved ALL measures. After 12 weeks, even 1 teaspoon led to 5 kg (11 lb) of weight loss. 3 teaspoons led to 7 kg (>15 lb!) of weight loss, around 2-3 kg a month. All of the apple cider vinegar groups also had lower BMI and lower waist circumfrence, so

Apple cider vinegar also reduced body fat %. Those taking 3 teaspoons shaved 2% off. People without it increased body fat %. Again, this is with no change in diet or exercise. (5/7)

Apple cider vinegar also improved insulin resistance. 1 tsp ➞ dropped blood sugar by >5 2 tsp ➞ dropped it by >8 3 tsp ➞ dropped it by >10 No change for placebo. ACV also reduced triglycerides and cholesterol levels. (6/7)

The reason apple cider vinegar is so helpful for metabolism is because it contains acetic acid (acetate). Acetate has a unique metabolism in comparison to other fuels, disproportionately increasing the AMP/ATP ratio in the cytosol of cells. This turns on a master kinase known

@Outdoctrination My parents drink this mixed with water first thing in the morning. I can’t bring myself to do it. Someone told me they sell this encapsulated (to prevent tooth decay) as well.

@SpanglishKrin yeah if you take it straight up it's acidic enough to cause some damage to the enamel

@Outdoctrination I wonder what effect it would have if you were pretty healthy and only needed to lose 10lbs.

@Cryptogal3 only one way to find out

@Outdoctrination Are the tsp on each meal? Or once a day?

@JadolfoHC shouldn't matter either way

@Outdoctrination How to consume it bro @Outdoctrination ???

@Son_of_Wind_108 dilute in some water or put in your food

@Outdoctrination I really would appreciate if you would link the studies you post, I mean with a link you can click on. It is extremely tedious to type and search for each of them.

@Outdoctrination Would the supplements be as effective?

@SandyHall263153 probably, but the dosing would be more difficult

@Outdoctrination When is is best to take it? A teaspoon before each meal?

@ramblerenglish1 seems to be, yeah, acutely can help w sugar metabolism

@Outdoctrination Did they release when they took the ACV in the study? Before meals, start of the day, before bed?

@dueck_samuel this was in the morning empty stomach

@Outdoctrination No it can't. Nonsense

@study_of_one i would hate to have this kind of mindset, at least read the thread / study!

@Outdoctrination I have been taking this (empty stomach) for 2.5 yrs straight combined with IF. Ask me any questions

@Outdoctrination Great to use a tablesooon for enemas

@Outdoctrination Your thread is going viral! #TopUnroll https://threadreaderapp.com/th... 🙏🏼@KicoPardo for 🥇unroll

@Outdoctrination Yet another win for ACV😋

@Outdoctrination True, Acetic acid in ACV activates AMPK, boosting fat oxidation.

@Outdoctrination Unless you have MCAS and then it does the opposite 🤣

@Outdoctrination Braggs is literally owned by Bill Gates

@Outdoctrination @grok the first seven posts are a thread on losing weight using vinegar. What do you think of the interpretations of the data? Does it seem like a quality study? Will I lose weight if I start drinking some vinegar every day?
