Hundreds, if not thousands of different plans and suggestions have been designed and given from person to person in recent years in hopes of discovering something that can help humanity put its weight problems in the past. While we may have not exactly found the magic cure yet, some pretty interesting discoveries have been made in the past few years, and one of the more intriguing ones revolves around apple cider vinegar weight loss. Wait… what? Apple cider vinegar? What does that have to do with weight loss? Well, as it turns out, it has a ton to do with it, and what follows is an examination of how the two are related.

I’ve already written in the past about the health benefits of olive oil and how it can help you lose weight and also about the positive effects of the Mediterranean Diet. I was pleasantly surprised to read about the health benefits of apple cider vinegar and I would like to share them with you.

 Apple Cider Vinegar Makes You Feel Fuller

One of the greatest problems with losing weight is that feeling of emptiness you have inside of you, and not in a metaphorical sense. Having an empty stomach can be a painfully nagging experience as it starts to release acids and eat itself.

However, for most people staying below their calorie intake limit is more important than anything, and so they power through this unpleasant experience.

In 2005 a study in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition has demonstrated that adding small amounts of vinegar to your meals will make you feel fuller, and the more apple cider vinegar you put in there, the stronger that feeling is going to be. The best way to ingest it would be to sip it along with a glass of water, or simply add it in a drink of your choice, bit by bit.

Apple Cider Vinegar Can Stabilize Sugar Levels for Diabetics

Let’s face it, most of us who want to lose weight aren’t just self-conscious about how we look… we are doing it because we start to feel the toll of being overweight.

A 2005 study performed on a few test subjects with diabetes demonstrated that apple cider vinegar helped to stabilize their sugar and cholesterol levels; lessening the need for them to eat carbs and sugar in order to stabilize themselves. If you aren’t diabetic, then it can still help by controlling your sugar cravings.

 Apple Cider Vinegar Lowers Cholesterol

Last but not least, apple cider vinegar is actually quite handy in order to stabilize people’s LDL (bad cholesterol) and HDL (good cholesterol) levels.

An experiment performed on rats which did not suffer from diabetes demonstrated that by simply consuming apple cider vinegar on a daily basis in small doses they can significantly lower their LDL cholesterol levels while raising the HDL ones.

Regardless of whether or not you are trying to lose weight, this is something which can still be useful to you; your cholesterol levels can very well be out of whack, even if you think yourself to be in good shape.

And so, as you can see, the apple cider vinegar weight loss benefits are quite impressive, but that’s the least of it; our research into the potential behind this vinegar has only just begun.

It is very possible that apple cider vinegar has other, untold advantages, and at this point, the only excuse not to consume it is an unfortunate allergy to vinegar.

Yes, it isn’t exactly the tastiest drink in your house, but there are always practical ways to dilute the taste, such as the ones mentioned above (sipping it along water or mixing it into a drink bit by bit).
