How much acv for weight loss?

Someone at the gym told me about ACV for weight loss. I'm interested in trying it, but I don't know how much ACV is recommended to help with losing weight.

Managing PCOS weight is so tough, I totally get it. I tried taking 1 tablespoon of ACV in warm water before lunch, and it helped slightly with my bloating, but please be gentle on your stomach as it can trigger severe acid reflux.

I recently lost 12 kgs over the last six months. I used to take exactly 10ml of ACV in a glass of lukewarm water first thing in the morning, but honestly, the main game changer was cutting down my daily sugar and roti intake.

At 50, my doctor told me to lose weight, and my wife got me this smelly ACV bottle. I tried one spoon in water and honestly, the taste is enough to make you lose your appetite! Joking aside, it works okay for digestion but don't expect miracles.

Keep it simple. 15ml of organic apple cider vinegar with the 'mother' in a glass of water before your largest meal. It helps control blood sugar spikes, but if your diet is messy, ACV won't do anything for you.

Why spend too much on fancy brands? Just get any decent ACV and take one small spoon in warm water. Along with this, just try to reduce your rice portion and walk for 30 minutes daily, that is much more practical and cheap.

I see this question so often here! The general safe limit is 1 to 2 tablespoons diluted in water daily. Make sure to use a straw to drink it, otherwise the acid can slowly wear down your tooth enamel over time.

Same here, I also started ACV a few months back for weight loss. I do 1 tablespoon in water before dinner, and it actually stopped my late-night sweet cravings. Just don't overdo the quantity because it can burn your throat.
