New research published in BMJ Nutrition, Prevention, and Health<\/a> suggests that young people who were overweight or obese experienced weight loss of 13 to 16 pounds over three months by consuming a daily spoonful of apple cider vinegar<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Drinking between 1 teaspoon (tsp) and 1 tablespoon (tbsp) of apple cider vinegar dissolved in water was also associated with significant reductions in blood sugar levels, triglycerides, and cholesterol.<\/p>\n

The researchers\u2019 findings find that apple cider vinegar could be \u201ca promising anti-obesity supplement with no reported side effects,\u201d<\/strong> <\/em>they wrote.<\/p>\n

Christine Tenekjian, MPH, RDN<\/a>, from the Duke Lifestyle and Weight Management Center in Durham, North Carolina, who was not involved in the study, finds the changes in weight, body mass index (BMI)<\/a>, waist and hip circumference, and appetite resulting from apple cider vinegar consumption intriguing.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese findings suggest that we need to certainly consider apple cider vinegar as a possible intervention for weight loss and keep studying it,\u201d<\/strong> <\/em>she says.<\/p>\n

Apple Cider Vinegar: What Exactly Is It and How Does It Work?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Apple cider vinegar (ACV) is crafted through the fermentation of applies, with its active component being acetic acid. To meet the definition of ACV, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)<\/a> mandates a minimum acetic acid content of 4 percent.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThere are some laboratory studies in mice and in cells that found acetic acid inhibits the enzyme that breaks down sugar and possibly that keeps down increases in blood glucose after eating carbs.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

“That\u2019s like part of the blood sugar benefit. And there\u2019s some evidence that suggests apple cider vinegar increases the amount of time that food stays in your stomach, which could increase fullness or satiety,\u201d<\/strong><\/em> says Tenekjian.<\/p>\n

Daily Apple Cider Vinegar Consumption Resulted in Substantial Weight Loss<\/strong><\/h3>\n

To investigate the short-term effects of apple cider vinegar on overweight or obese young individuals, researchers in Lebanon enlisted 120 participants (46 males and 74 females) aged between 12 and 25 years with a BMI ranging from 27 to 34.<\/p>\n

Each participant was randomly assigned to one of four groups. The first three groups were instructed to consume 1 tsp, 2 tsp, or 1 tbsp of apple cider vinegar diluted in 1 cup of water once daily. The fourth group received a placebo liquid.<\/p>\n

All participants were directed to consume the ACV solution on an empty stomach first thing in the morning. This timing was chosen to minimize the potential influence of other food and beverages to assess its impact on appetite reduction, as stated by the authors.<\/p>\n

Participants kept a diet diary to record their food intake and provided information on their physical activity. Although the authors noted very little difference in diary entries and physical activity records among the groups, this information was not included in the study.<\/p>\n

According to the results, these were the key findings:<\/p>\n
