What is the dosage for weight loss for Apple cider vinegar?

Answer 1

Hi, I don't have much information on ACV but I can say it worked for me. I read about how it can stop acidreflux/gastroreflux/GERD. I tried it twice now and so far I am free from that very painful experience. As a matter of fact I had such bad acid reflux a few days ago, I thought I may need to go to the emergency room...just to get that numbing cocktail and rid myself of the pain. This experience is the reason that I got on line to look for natural products vs adding to the already too many medications (two are for the acid) that I currently take. I came across the ACV information...here it is and I pray that it helps you like it did me. 6-8 oz room temp water 1 tsp ACV (Braggs 1 tsp raw honey I really hate the smell of vinegar, and the idea of drinking it was something I never thought I would do, but I am able to drink down the mixture without (well you know). On top of that there is very little after taste.

**Update** Actually that link is to a product that is a Honey + ACV combo tonic. HONEY is not recommended by the AAP for infants under 1 because of botulism, some people say not until age 2 just to be safe.

As you know, Earth Clinic has recommended the standard 2 teaspoons in 8 oz of water 3x a day for years now. For more severe conditions, we recommended 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar in 8 oz of water 3x a day. We now think that less vinegar, more water is an optimal way of taking apple cider vinegar daily unless you are treating an acute condition like acid reflux, cough, bronchitis, or sore throat (in which case the stronger concoction of 2 TBS ACV to 8 OZ of water 3x a day recipe is suggested).

For daily maintenance, weight loss and pH balancing, we now suggest the following:

2 teaspoons of organic apple cider vinegar

16 ounces of water

Sip, don't chug!

We suggest 2 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar in 16 ounces of water that you'll sip throughout the day, rather than drinking the whole concoction at once 3 times a day. You will be keeping your pH in a constant, alkalized state by sipping this highly diluted dosage. Usually 1-2 tall glasses of the concoction are all you'll need each day.

If you drink a lot of water throughout the day, consider adding just a splash of apple cider vinegar to your glass/container each time you fill it up, rather than drinking the one, 16 oz glass of acv and water mentioned above.

For the record, we are not big fans of adding baking soda to apple cider vinegar, nor are we fans of adding any kind of sweetener to the acv/water solution. The baking soda works great for some people, but causes severe side effects in others.

Also, we know the Bragg brand is the most popular apple cider vinegar on the market, but we've had just as good results using Whole Foods' organic and Trader Joe's organic apple cider vinegar.
