Quick tips: ACV drink for weight loss White vinegar is NOT apple cider vinegar. Apple cider vinegar is different from white vinegar used in the kitchen. Buy only unpasteurized, unfiltered apple cider vinegar from the market. If it is made from organic apples, even better. You may find ready-made ACV drinks in the market, like apple cider vinegar with honey. I prefer to buy basic apple cider vinegar and then make my own drinks at home. That way I have better control on the quality as well as quantity of ingredients. Most people complain about the strong smell of cider vinegar. Heres a little trick. Use lukewarm water for your ACV drink, instead of cold water. It will not smell too much. Dont use hot water, as this may affect the enzymes in cider vinegar.

Variations of ACV honey drink Honey has added health benefits of being antibacterial. Some good quality honey types also contain essential nutrients, vitamins and minerals. My favorite honey is Manuka honey, found in New Zealand - my home country. If you dont want to use honey, you can use maple syrup. Make sure it is 100% maple syrup, usually found in Canada, not the sugar syrup sold as maple syrup. Alternatively, you can use Blackstrap Molasses, or a few drops herb Stevia in place of honey. All this provides great health benefits. To speed up your weight loss, add a pinch of cinnamon powder. But only a pinch, otherwise the drink could become too spicy. Cinnamon is good for boosting metabolism. If you find it difficult to squeeze in another drink in your hectic schedule, how about combining ACV with something you already drink? It is possible to mix ACV with tea. Pour a cup of boiling water, add tea and honey, and stir. Let tea leaves brew for two to three minutes. Add ACV - 2 to 3 teaspoons and drink. Make sure you add ACV after you have made the tea. It is advisable not to mix ACV with boiling water. How about cola, and other carbonated drinks? If you absolutely have to. Caffeine dehydrates the body. Sugar adds unnecessary calories. Aerated drinks are also known to be harmful to health. So, to get the best benefits from cider vinegar, it is best drank with water, or at the most with tea. You could make 1 litre of apple cider vinegar drink (water + ACV) and take it with you to work, or on the move. This will make sure that you are drinking ACV regularly. How often to drink ACV for weight loss Apple cider vinegar is not just for weight loss, though it is primarily used for its weight loss benefits. As such, drinking apple cider vinegar regularly gives good long-term health benefits, such as improved digestion, stronger immune system and boost in energy. You should drink apple cider vinegar twice or thrice a day. The best time to drink is after waking up, and before breakfast. Alternatively, a couple of hours before lunch. And then, in the evening, few hours before dinner. This gives enzymes enough time to work on our digestion system and to take absorbed in the blood. The drink contains fibers, which help in creating a feeling of fullness. It also increases metabolism rate of the body. ACV as salad dressing Use ACV as salad dressing and reap weight loss benefits.
