Can apple cider vinegar improve health and help you lose weight, at the same time saving you from fatigue, as fans of this product claim? Two journalists The Daily Mail decided to make sure of this by a personal example.
23-year-old Shannon Jones and 24-year-old Charlotte Hughes drank diluted apple cider vinegar every day for a week. The purpose of the girls was to find out whether they would sense any changes in their health, weight and well-being in such a short time.
And although both had to work hard to endure the taste of vinegar, one of them discovered that she had lost two pounds in just seven days.
Although some apple cider vinegar fans drink it whole, nutritionists recommend diluting apple cider vinegar with 1: 1 water. Now in the supermarkets you can find ready-to-eat, already diluted variations of the product (the girls drank vinegar flavored by the factory). What happened in the experimental week?
- Day 1
Shannon was skeptical about the intended taste of the product, but since this is not pure vinegar, according to the girl, the taste was better than she expected.
Charlotte tried apple cider vinegar earlier, and now she was inspired by the example of Victoria Beckham, a fan of this product. Charlotte wanted to lose weight for the upcoming wedding, so she, though nervous, agreed to start.
- Day 2
Shannon found apple cider vinegar invigorating and even called it a substitute for morning coffee or fresh juice. She promised to repeat.
Charlotte started Sunday morning with vinegar to drink it before breakfast and morning coffee. And she also found him refreshing, quenching thirst.
- Day 3
Shannon woke up with a slight hangover after the weekend and started the day with apple cider vinegar - according to her, the drink helped her feel better and relieve nausea.
Charlotte has not yet noticed any difference in sensations, but said that she began to like the taste.
- Day 4
Shannon claims that he feels more productive and vigorous after the morning drink, and this feeling lasts longer than usual. During the day she was not as hungry as usual.
Charlotte drank vinegar in the afternoon, but not in the morning - it turns out that this reduces cravings for sweets, including ordinary chocolate snacks for afternoon tea.
- Day 5
Shannon also said that vinegar reduced her hunger and desire for something to eat during the day.
By the fifth day, Charlotte realized that her diet had significantly reduced the amount of what she eats for dinner, and one of the dinners was tiny in volume.
- Day 6
Shannon noticed that her heartburn had become less pronounced. According to her, this increased the feeling of overall health. But by this time the vinegar began to bother the girl.
Charlotte ... forgot to drink vinegar today.
- Day 7
Shannon was in a hurry and drank vinegar on the way to work, and only at two o'clock in the afternoon she realized that she did not have breakfast (usually by this time she was in a strong hunger).
Charlotte lost two pounds! According to her, this is an excellent result in just a week.
Conclusions
Shannon was completely satisfied with the experiments. "It is perfectly drinkable, the drink is refreshing, but most of all I liked doing something good for my body." She also noted a decrease in heartburn and bloating.
Charlotte said she could not believe such an effective weight loss - and was delighted with the success of the experiment. Vinegar suppressed appetite, and now she intends to drink it daily.
