apple cider vinegar

Results from one human study indicate that apple cider vinegar has impressive effects on weight and body fat (13Trusted Source).
In this 12-week study, 144 obese Japanese adults consumed either 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of vinegar, 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of vinegar or a placebo drink every day.
They were told to restrict their alcohol intake but otherwise continue their usual diet and activity throughout the study.
Those who consumed 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of vinegar per day had — on average — the following benefits:

• Weight loss: 2.6 pounds (1.2 kg)
• Decrease in body fat percentage: 0.7%
• Decrease in waist circumference: 0.5 in (1.4 cm)
• Decrease in triglycerides: 26%

This is what changed in those consuming 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of vinegar per day:

• Weight loss: 3.7 pounds (1.7 kg)
• Decrease in body fat percentage: 0.9%
• Decrease in waist circumference: 0.75 in (1.9 cm)
• Decrease in triglycerides: 26%

The placebo group actually gained 0.9 lbs (0.4 kgs), and their waist circumference slightly increased.
According to this study, adding 1 or 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar to your diet can help you lose weight. It can also reduce your body fat percentage, make you lose belly fat and decrease your blood triglycerides.
This is one of a few human studies that have investigated vinegar's effects on weight loss. Although the study was fairly large and the results are encouraging, additional studies are needed.
Additionally, one six-week study in mice fed a high-fat, high-calorie diet found that the high-dose vinegar group gained 10% less fat than the control group and 2% less fat than the low-dose vinegar group (7Trusted Source).
