Apple cider vinegar in glass of water before meals aids weight loss? Doctor reveals how to actually use it to shed kilos | Health

‘Apple cider vinegar can augment weight loss’

Jessie said, “Apple cider vinegar in a tall glass of water before a meal can reduce the glucose of that meal by up to 30 percent.” Reacting to her video, Dr Sood said in a recent Instagram post, “Yes, if you consume vinegar prior to a meal, it can slow down the rate of blood glucose increase. The most researched is apple cider vinegar. This is because it contains acetic acid, which will slow down the breakdown of carbohydrates into sugar. This is especially beneficial if you are pre-diabetic or have diabetes and it can also augment weight loss.”

He added, “If you would like to try it, it is recommended that you dilute 102 tablespoons in a large glass of water and consume this 20-30 minutes before your meal. The reason you want to dilute it is to avoid irritation to your throat or your stomach. Please discuss with your doctor if this is a good option for you.”

How to use ACV for weight loss

⦿ Dilute the ACV: Mix 1-2 tablespoons of ACV with a glass of water.

⦿ Drink before meals: Consume the ACV mixture 20-30 minutes before meals to help with appetite suppression and digestion.

⦿ Start with a small dose: Begin with a small dose (1 tablespoon) and gradually increase, as needed.

While ACV may have potential benefits for weight loss, it is essential to remember that it is not a replacement for a healthy diet and regular exercise. Always consult with a healthcare professional before adding any new supplements or remedies to your weight loss routine.
