Apple cider vinegar can shed ~7 pounds a month and reduce insulin resistance, a new study demonstrates.

This study was published last year in the prestigious British Medical Journal.
It involved 120 people, giving them either:
◇ 1 tsp apple cider vinegar (group 1)
◇ 2 tsp (group 2)
◇ 3 tsp (group 3)
◇ Placebo (group 4)
No other changes in diet or supplements.

At baseline, all groups were equal in all measures.
They looked at:
➥ Weight
➥ BMI
➥ Waist circumfrence
➥ Hip circumfrence
➥ Body fat %
➥ Fasting blood sugar
➥ Lipids

Apple cider vinegar improved ALL measures.
After 12 weeks, even 1 teaspoon led to 5 kg (11 lb) of weight loss.
3 teaspoons led to 7 kg (>15 lb!) of weight loss, around 2-3 kg a month.
All of the apple cider vinegar groups also had lower BMI and lower waist circumfrence, so this was mainly belly fat.

Apple cider vinegar also reduced body fat %.
Those taking 3 teaspoons shaved 2% off.
People without it increased body fat %.
Again, this is with no change in diet or exercise.

Apple cider vinegar also improved insulin resistance.
1 tsp ➞ dropped blood sugar by >5
2 tsp ➞ dropped it by >8
3 tsp ➞ dropped it by >10
No change for placebo.
ACV also reduced triglycerides and cholesterol levels.

The reason apple cider vinegar is so helpful for metabolism is because it contains acetic acid (acetate).
Acetate has a unique metabolism in comparison to other fuels, disproportionately increasing the AMP/ATP ratio in the cytosol of cells.
This turns on a master kinase known as AMPK, which:
➜ Ramps up metabolic enzymes
➜ Turns down fat production
➜ Increases uptake of glucose
➜ Reduces inflammation
➜ Enhances mitochondrial function
and other protective effects.
AMPK is actually a primary target of the blockbuster diabetes drug metformin.
Vinegar does it and also doesn't inhibit your mitochondria in the process like metformin does.
