The Apple-Cider-Vinegar Diet

How do you feel about pre meal gulp vinegar? They say this diet rests on the theory that vinegar cuts through fat in your body as it does through grease in your kitchen. However, there is no biological reason why it would curb cravings; still vinegar can kill any one’s appetite because it is unappealing.

Celeb Fans:

  

The Raw-Food Diet

This one is the most favorite among all celeb these days. The raw fruits and vegetables are low in saturated fats and calories. However, it could be boring.

Warning: Loading up on fruit can cause intestinal distress and it can raise your insulin and make the body store more calories as fat.

Celeb Fans: 

The baby Food Diet

It is personally my favorite. Mealtime filled with baby food. If it does not have added starch, it can be a good source of nutrition because it’s just pureed vegetables, fruit or meat. This is certainly a creative way to control your intake and limit calories.

Celeb Fans: 

The Lunchbox Diet

Created by British personal trainer Simon Lovell. Adherents eat their normal breakfast and dinner, but instead of lunch, they snack all afternoon from a standard-size lunch box filled with 60% vegetables, 30% protein, and 10% fat (low fat dressing, cheese, or peanut butter). It would work because it centers on grazing, which has been proven to foster weight loss.

Celeb Fans: 

The Cookie Diet

One of the most popular diets in Los Angeles over the past few years. When you intake four to seven protein-based cookies a day, which amounts about 500-600 calories, with a meal of lean protein and vegetables adding another 300 calories approximately. The cookies (normal) contain protein, amino acids, fibre, vitamins and minerals. The aim to eat them “to suppress hunger and prevent an increase in blood sugar.” Moreover eating small meals throughout the day stimulates your metabolism to work faster.

Apple Cider Vinegar – Does it really help to lose weight?

I have seen many people and websites recommend apple cider vinegar as a weight loss remedy. But does it really help to lose weight?

It is a traditional remedy which has been continued successfully for centuries.  But it has not proven scientifically as a weight loss cure. They believe vinegar can cut the fat out as it cleans the fatty oil stains in dishes.

Still we can’t just say it is just a diet sham. It has few qualities which can help weight loss indirectly.

1. Apple cider vinegar helps balance blood sugar levels which could lead for weight loss.
2. Taking apple cider vinegar before meal helps to prevent from overeating.
3. It contains some properties which can lower the cholesterol level.

Apple cider vinegar has so many medical benefits other than weight loss cure. It also helps people who suffer from Diarrhea, Yeast infections, Fatigue, Acne or Skin problems and Menstrual Cramps.

Method of apple cider vinegar intake:

Take 1-2 tsp of apple cider vinegar before meal. Mix it with honey or fresh juice. Do not ever have pure vinegar, only diluted solution has to be taken.

While in taking apple cider vinegar, be cautious about side effects as well. It may leave yellowish stains on your teeth.  Try using a straw if you could. It also leads to heart burn and nausea.

Is apple cider the same as apple cider vinegar?

Apple cider is the pressed unstrained juice of fresh apples. Apple cider vinegar is made from apple cider by fermentation of the alcoholic part into acid. During this process, sugar in the apple cider is broken down by bacteria and yeast into alcohol and then into vinegar. It is sour like any other vinegar but it is light yellow-brown color.
