Apple cider vinegar, real apple cider vinegar, with the mother in tact as in Bragg’s ACV seems to be getting rave reviews around the web when it comes to more energy and weight loss.
This is great news for all of us who suffer from hypothyroidism.
Can apple cider vinegar help you lose weight? According to 101Waystolife
Research shows that it results in weight loss. But it is gradual. But the good news is the effect is permanent.
If you were looking for immediate weight loss, this may not be for you. The results are slow but steady.
As per available research, it takes about one year to lose 10 to 15 pounds (about 6 to 9 kilos). This is achievable if you consistently drink two tablespoons of ACV with water before each meal.
The results will vary. Some people have lost two pounds a month. [read whole article here]
Slow and steady weight loss is good. Yes, of course, we would all like to wake up one morning and be skinny, energetic and perhaps younger than we actually are, but I’m thinking that I will settle for consistent weight loss and more energy and feeling younger consistently. ACV also helps regulate your blood sugar levels! Take a tablespoon at night before bed and lower your insulin levels while you sleep.

As we all know when you lose weight fast (if you can even manage to get the weight to come off while suffering with hypothyroidism), it seems to jump right back on, where as when you lose weight steadily over time because of changes to your diet and balancing your hormones out it tends to stay off.
Webmd weighs in on the truth about apple cider vinegar and weight loss:
Apple cider vinegar has long been touted as being good for weight loss, and several apple cider vinegar diets have circulated over the years. The acidic vinegar, along with the fruit pectin from the fermented apples, is supposed to have fat-burning effects.
In the mouse study, researchers gave either acetic acid (the main chemical in vinegar) or water to mice via a stomach tube. All the mice were fed the same diet. The researchers found that the mice that got the vinegar compound developed up to 10% less body fat than the other mice, although the amount of food they ate was not affected. It’s thought that acetic acid might turn on genes that produce proteins that help the body break down fats.
While they do go on to say that this does not provide conclusive evidence perhaps this video direction from Isabel from ehealth will help you understand how to use apple cider vinegar.

This in combination with Ashwagandah and a few other supplements has had an amazing impact on my over all heath and well being.
