Apple cider vinegar is said to be a real miracle cure when it comes to losing weight. Stars swear by this ingredient. Science also confirms its effect.
If you want to lose a few kilos, you should start your day healthy in the morning. It is therefore better to avoid certain morning routines as these can prevent weight loss. At the same time, some foods are particularly suitable for breakfast for losing weight. Or take stars like Victoria Beckham, Liz Hurley and Jennifer Aniston as an example: The celebrities swear by a good morning drink made from apple cider vinegar. According to scientific findings, this can actually help on the way to your desired weight.

A research team from the Lebanese Holy Spirit University Kaslik led by the biochemist Dr. Rony Abou-Khalil examined the effect of apple cider vinegar on weight and other metabolic parameters, as the
Pharmazeutische Zeitung Online
writes. The study was published in the journal
BMJ Nutrition, Prevention & Health
. 120 overweight or obese adolescents and young adults (average age 17 years) took part in their study. The participants were divided into four groups and each morning they drank the following drinks on an empty stomach:
Group 1: 250 ml water with 5 ml apple cider vinegar
Group 2: 250 ml water with 10 ml apple cider vinegar
Group 3: 250 ml water with 15 ml apple cider vinegar
Group 4: placebo drink
The apple cider vinegar used contained five percent acid, while the placebo drink had 0.25 percent lactic acid added. This should be to mimic the taste of apple cider vinegar. The study was carried out double-blind: This means that neither the patient nor the investigator knows who is receiving which therapy.
The test subjects hardly differed in terms of their diet and physical activity during the study phase. They recorded this information in a food diary. In addition, weight, waist circumference and body fat percentage were measured at four different times (at the beginning of the study and after four, eight and twelve weeks). In addition, the researchers measured total cholesterol, blood sugar and triglyceride levels in the blood.

Study results show: If you drink apple cider vinegar every day, you can reduce your weight
The results of the study ultimately showed that the apple cider vinegar drinkers in the study lost significant weight and reduced their body mass index (BMI). Those who received the highest dose of apple cider vinegar saw the greatest declines after twelve weeks. Depending on the dose, the participants who drank apple cider vinegar once a day during the study period lost an average of six to eight kilos.
The scientists were also able to detect a decrease in blood sugar levels, triglycerides and cholesterol levels (also depending on the dose). The highest dose of apple cider vinegar appeared to have the greatest effect within twelve weeks. In contrast, participants who received a placebo drink experienced virtually no weight loss. The drink also had no positive effects on the other metabolic parameters and did not lead to any changes.
