I love to start the day with my apple cider vinegar and lemon juice in warm water, you can feel it working on your body energy. 

me to 🥳👌🍋 

Highly recommended - might be what you need to boost your metabolism! Lots of arguments over this, but - the proof is there for people who have tried it. Drinking 5 ml of apple cider vinegar each morning may aid in reducing weight, but only if used as part of a balanced nutrition and exercise plan. Apple Cider Vinegar improves blood lipids and reduces blood pressure. A study published in the online edition of the journal Bioscience, Biotechnology, and Biochemistry in May 2014, supports the idea that vinegar intake may reduce fat mass, body weight and triglyceride levels. If you mix it with lemon juice, you might get even better results. Naringin, a flavonoid in lemon, may reduce body weight and fat mass, visceral fat, liver weight and waist circumference, according to a February 2019 review published in Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine.

Goli’s are so much better! I find the apple cider vinegar to harsh on my stomach 

Yes me too - it's too acidic. Was wondering if there is an alternative?? 

I started drinking 5-10ml (Aldi organic with the mother) mixed in a glass of water first thing in the morning... now sit down, relax and watch my kilos melting 😅... 

The Aldi organic apple cider vinegar, with the ‘mother’ floating at the bottom, is very good. 

How many kilos have you lost so far? Just as a matter of interest - and how does your stomach feel after you drink the apple cider vinegar?? 

If you’re concerned about the acidity of apple cider vinegar, just consider that the acetic acid in the vinegar when diluted 30:1 with water is about 1% as acidic as the hydrochloric acid that is produced by cells in your stomach lining to digest food. The lining of the stomach is a tough mucus membrane that is totally able to cope with a strong acidic environment. If you suffer from reflux, the esophagus is not so tough, acids from your stomach can damage it, hence antacids, but they usually are counteracting the natural hydrchloric acid produced by your stomach. Vinegars generally are not so kind to tooth enamel, so its a good idea to rinse the mouth after ingesting vinegar, citrus juices or other acidic fruit juices - they are all good for you nutritionally, but your teeth need to be protected - so rinse, or brush them. Vinegars can also deplete potassium, so make sure you have plenty of it in your diet (leafy greens, broccoli, sweet potato, mushrooms, apricots, bananas) and don’t overdo the vinegar consumption - up to 15 mls per day is enough. 

Monicamag, I started drinking it with water 2 days ago, but it’s been a part of my daily diet for many many years. If it is diluted or mixed with salads and other foods you can barely feel the acidity. I lost 6.8kg in last 3.5 weeks since I started counting my calories. 

Btw... if your tummy is sensitive it’d be good to ask your GP to refer you for a gastroscopy 

Thanks Jomo & afaq for your comments, very much appreciated. 

I know what is causing is as I need to take inflamatories sometimes as I have a sore neck and shoulders but thanks appreciate your advice. 

Wow I didn’t even realise these comments were here haha  

It went viral 😂
