Apple cider vinegar for weight loss, (IS) really effective?
Here’s WHY?
Many scientific works indeed attempt to demonstrate one of the virtues recognized for centuries as a grandmother’s remedy.
By controlling hunger, consuming it causes a feeling of satiety, all thanks to the malic acids it contains and its main component, pectin.
The acid contained in apple cider vinegar helps stimulate the basal metabolism . The body actually burns more fat when apple cider vinegar has been absorbed. In addition, it prevents the absorption of starch by the body.
Apple cider vinegar prevents bloating sensations after certain meals and thus helps us keep a flat stomach and get a chocolate wafer by targeting abdominal fat.
Its poor energy value – it contains less than 15 kilocalories per 100 grams – and its low glycemic index make it possible to season our dishes without overdoing it.
In fact, foods with a high glycemic index have the disadvantage of raising blood sugar levels, which will eventually turn into fat. It is therefore the ideal companion for those who want to get rid of a few unwanted pounds .
Not every dietitian will recommend it to you. It is therefore part of the family of “fat-burning foods” which help to refine our silhouette! So forget about appetite suppressants and other lozenges supposed to make you lose pounds, this slimming ally is completely natural!
{For optimal efficiency, choose a vinegar of very good quality, organic and artisanal if possible!}
What’s the best way to use apple cider vinegar for weight loss?
Many believe that drinking apple cider vinegar throughout the day or replacing certain meals are good ways to reach your ideal weight. However, vinegar is not an appetite suppressant and does not fill the stomach.
Then, be careful not to abuse it and not to drink it pure , the vinegar, being acidic, could damage the walls of the stomach and cause ulcers as well as heartburn.
{For this reason, it is not recommended for people suffering from gastritis and prone to ulcers.}
Finally, know that drinking vinegar alone is not enough to lose weight. So it’s not about drinking vinegar and keeping bad eating habits on the side. Its effectiveness also depends on a balanced diet. This is why we advise you to follow the advice of a dietitian or naturopath in parallel.
Its basics being recalled, here are 3 ways to consume apple cider vinegar.
First, it is advisable to consume 2 to 3 spoons of vinegar diluted in a 25 cl glass of lukewarm water , to drink preferably half an hour before meals . Lukewarm water has a greater draining effect than cold water. This method will facilitate the feeling of fullness and digestion.
{Taking this mixture as is on an empty stomach, upon waking, will activate your digestive system before the first meal.}
You can, however, add a spoon of honey to it for flavor, or baking soda to reduce the feeling of acidity. Another solution to counteract the acidity is to add a touch of bitterness with orange peel and a few drops of freshly squeezed orange juice.
Another effective method is to dilute 3 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar in chamomile tea. Likewise, this preparation should be drunk approximately 30 minutes before each meal.
We end with another way of consuming, and the simplest: apple cider vinegar can be used as the main seasoning in your meals.
Vinegar alone can spice up your salads, so there’s no need to mix it with oil to make a sauce.
For a touch of originality, make a vinaigrette made from apple cider vinegar. For example, you can mix the equivalent of two tablespoons of mustard with two tablespoons of honey, chopped garlic and two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar. Add salt and pepper. This is delicious!
