The so called Cider Vinegar Diet has provoked controversy and acceptance in almost equal measure over the years.
Apple cider vinegar has a combination of acidic vinegar and fruit pectin and this combination is said to be the reason behind the cider vinegar diet and its "fat burning effects".
Using the Apple Cider Vinegar Diet
To gain benefit from the cider vinegar diet you are supposed to take one, two, or three teaspoons of apple cider vinegar before each meal. Many people find it difficult to get three teaspoons down initially but most get used to it after a few days. Taking more than three spoonfuls is likely to provoke stomach discomfort and is not likely to give you any more benefit.
Does the Apple Cider Vinegar Diet Work?
This is where the controversy comes in!
Like many other diets, it's not clear as to whether there are any properties in the vinegar that will actually help you lose weight. Is it the fact that you eat smaller portions than before or is it directly related weight loss due to the cider vinegar?
The dieticians and traditionalists take the former view - the alternative therapists and cider vinegar adherents see it the other way round?
My advice to you would be to try it for yourself and see if it works.
