How effective is apple cider vinegar for weight loss?

My friend swears by apple cider vinegar for weight loss, saying it helped her lose a lot of kilos. I'm a bit skeptical, so I wanted to ask how effective is apple cider vinegar really for losing weight?

Don't fall for the hype that it's a magic potion for weight loss. It can help a little with digestion, but real weight loss only happens when you focus on your overall diet and daily activity. Don't drink it raw, it can damage your stomach lining.

Honestly, I tried drinking it every morning for a month and it just tasted terrible without doing much. It might help cut down your appetite slightly, but you still have to control your junk food intake to see any real changes.

Don't trust those fitness influencers saying ACV melts fat overnight. It can actually cause throat irritation and erode tooth enamel if not highly diluted. Always consult a real nutritionist or doctor before starting such remedies.

Let's be realistic. Apple cider vinegar is not a shortcut. If your calorie intake is higher than what you burn, no amount of ACV is going to make you lose weight. Focus on a calorie deficit and strength training instead.

When you have thyroid issues, weight loss is much more complex than just drinking ACV. I tried it, but my weight only got managed after I got regular thyroid tests done and followed my doctor's proper medication and diet advice.
