Has any one tried this before? If you want different,you HAVE TO do different! Fat is whack!!!!!

I take it for a toenail issue (I hate the f word!) from years of locker room ickiness. the vinegar balances your ph balance in your body which can cause fungus (oops I said it!) to grow under your nails. It is a little hard to swallow but you get used to it!! I take one tablespoon in the morning. I have actually been meaning to post about ACV for sometime now and just keep forgetting!

So thank you! www.applecidervinegar.net Kelly, is it helping with the f-word? Absolutely! I saw results in less than a month. I am also applying tea tree oil to my toenails. I read a great article that linked acne to the f problem as well and I have to say that since I started using ACV regularly I don't breakout like I used to either. I was like a 40 yo teenager with the zits!!

fitnessluvr Joined Mar 2008 Posts: 423	Wed 05/14/08 08:05 PM Just a suggestion especially for anyone new to taking ACV - don't drink it straight. It will burn like crazy! Dilute it with water or even apple juice if you really want to mask the taste.

mfeidbo Joined Apr 2008 Posts: 19	Wed 05/14/08 08:21 PM I totally agree with this post. I started taking AVC for weight loss reasons, but it actually got RID of my allergies. Now I take it all the time. It didn't make me loose weight by the way, just 2-3 water lbs. but, the other health benefits are way better. Drink up. But only 2-3 TEASPOONS (NOT TABLESPOONS) a day. any more, will put your ph ballance the other direction. remember: it's about ballance. You aren't trying to burn a hole in your stomach. :-)

I diluted 3 teaspoons in water, and it was absolutely disgusting. There's no way I could drink that on a daily basis. I can't dilute it with juice to kill the taste either since juice is a no-no with my diabetes. Guess I'll have to wait for the fluid to leave on its own because I ain't drink that stuff again!

I think it does help with weight loss, but it is all different kinds of nasty getting it down. (bleeeech) I down a large glass of water immediately following then pop a piece of gum in my mouth.

My hubby's thoughts exactly. I told him he would get use to it and he said, "No, I won't because I'm not drinking that stuff again!"

It is yucky, but you get used to it, try diluting some more. I use seltzer water instead of regular water, don't know why but it seems to psych me out more. I actually don't mind the taste- call me crazy - it is not pleasant but the benefits outweigh the taste issue. <------me drinking a big glass this am!
