Does acv help with weight loss?

All my friends are raving about drinking apple cider vinegar for weight loss. I'm trying to shed a few kilos myself. Does ACV help with weight loss, or is it just a temporary trend?

Haan, log bolte toh hain ki weight loss hota hai, par sirf ACV peene se kuch nahi hoga na. You have to control your parathas and sweets also. It just helps thoda sa with digestion if you take it before meals.

Taking ACV with warm water and honey in the morning is a good daily habit for gut health. But if your weight gain is sudden or due to things like thyroid, home tips won't solve it. Please get a proper blood test done.

I totally understand how stressful it feels when you are trying everything to lose weight and nothing seems to work. I also bought ACV out of sheer panic to find a quick fix. It helps a bit with bloating, but please don't stress yourself out over these trends.

I know how exhausting it is to look in the mirror and feel unhappy with your body. I tried drinking ACV every single morning, forcing myself to swallow that sour taste, but it barely made a difference. Give yourself some grace, it takes time and a balanced diet.

At my age, I have seen so many health fads come and go. ACV is just the modern version of our old nimbu paani. There is no shortcut to weight loss except eating simple ghar ka khaana and walking daily.

I totally get it, trying to lose weight is such a frustrating journey and we want fast results. I also tried the ACV routine last year. It helped a little bit with my digestion and water weight, but please be gentle with yourself.

I can only speak from my own experience with ACV. I drank it before lunch for two months and noticed my sugar cravings went down slightly, which helped me cut snacks. I am not a doctor, so I can't say if it works for everyone.

Haan na, weight loss ke liye sab bolte hain ACV piyo. Personally, I feel it only helps to clear stomach, weight toh exercise se hi kam hota hai. Daily simple walking is much better than these sour drinks.

Before spending 500-600 rupees on fancy imported ACV bottles, I suggest spending that money on a lipid profile and thyroid test. If there is an underlying issue, no amount of vinegar is going to help you lose weight.

Listen, don't fall for these magic drink advertisements. ACV is fine to have occasionally, but it won't magically melt fat. Just focus on sleeping well, drinking water, and eating clean. You don't need to torture your throat with vinegar.

I have been staying up late trying to manage work and chores, and honestly, drinking ACV in the morning just gave me severe acidity to deal with on top of my sleep deprivation. If you want to lose weight, skip the midnight snacks instead.

My college-going son was obsessing over his weight and started drinking ACV daily. He lost a bit of appetite but also got a bad sore throat from the acid. I had to stop him and make him eat healthy home-cooked meals instead.

Let's be real, ACV is just a lifestyle trend. You cannot out-drink a bad diet with apple cider vinegar. Unless you are in a calorie deficit and lifting weights or cardio, nothing is going to change.

As someone working in health, I always tell people that ACV is not a fat burner. It might delay stomach emptying which makes you feel full longer, but that's about it. Don't drink it undiluted as it can damage your tooth enamel.

When I consulted my doctor at Apollo regarding my weight management, he clearly told me that ACV has no scientific backing for weight loss. He suggested a proper diet plan instead. It is always better to ask your physician directly before starting such remedies.
