Hi Dr.Nick, I really wanted to try ACV so badly, since I gave birth to my first son I got big and I'm having a hard time to lose weight lately, but the problem is I'm still nursing my son up until now, he is turning 3yrs old this year, can I still take it while nursing my 3yrs old son? Thankyou so much
Hi Nick, I love the effects of ACV, however my blood pressure is a bit lower and that's the negative effect it has on me. It lowers my pressure even more and with low blood pressure, I suffer terrible headaches. Do you have any suggestions for people who have blood pressure on the lower side. Should I just stop taking it? Thank you 😇
I’ve been taking ACV for 40yrs, I’ve kept my weight the same all these years even after four kids.. I don’t have any health issues either…I do walk daily and do yoga..I’m 79 next bday 🙏🏼🌻
@@lucylopez6624 yes, I take it every day, it’s my morning cuppa coffee ☺️… two weeks ago I had a hernia repair surgery and decided to take it at night for awhile…
I’m 65 and feel 35. I’ve been taking ACV for several years. I start my day and end my day with ACV. Great health, on no medications and enjoying retired life.
@@majeedmohamed9523 I retired early after my oldest daughter died I’m raising her 4 children I’m trying to get my health back Dr. is dropping my meds as I get my numbers back to normal
I take 2 table spoons first thing in the morning, then eat an hour later, then I take 2 table spoons with lemon juice around 7 pm, I have been doing OMAD for 3 years, I was 447 pounds I am down to 240, from size 54 pants and 6x shirts, down to 32 size pants and 2xl shirts, I am 55 years old and 6 3", I also look 15 years younger, its incredible, I have the stamina of a 25 year old. if the taste is still strong, use some cranberry juice unsweetened just a couple table spoons to make it easier.
I was having so much body ache and my right knee was swollen and very painful to bend. Three weeks into taking apple cider vinegar in the morning and night. I can say that I’m 100% free from the pain.
Just started drinking 1 T. Apple Cider to 8oz water.. on my own, I've lost 44 lbs since June 2023. I am morbidly obese and i have lost mobility due to bone on bone knees. So i am working with a Baratric Surgeon & his team to continue building better eating habits. Thanks for your ideas!
At 65 years young, I’ve been taking ACV two tablespoons first thing in the morning for years when I wake up. No medication, eating properly and staying active.
The recommended single dosage is 15 ml (One Tablespoon) to 22.5 ml (One and half Tablespoon) maximum. You may take it diluted in 8-16 oz water just before or with every meal three times a day. Use a straw pipe while drinking it to protect your tooth enamel. Rinse your mouth well after drinking it. If you consume too much ACV in a day (24 Hrs) that may seriously damage your stomach, guts and may create ulcers and piles. So, modesty is the best policy.
@@kish_myworld Hi, The recommended single dosage of Organic (Unfiltered Raw) ACV is 15 ml to 22.5 ml per meal. So, in 24 Hours ( i.e. for 03 meals) total quantity of ACV consumption should be within the range of 45 ml to 67.5 ml (max). Please remember that every dose must be diluted with 8 to 16 Oz of Water while taking it.
@@MM-bf1zm It is excellent to take it within 5 - 15 minutes just before a meal (main course). Very good, if it is taken within 30 minutes just before the meal. Good, if it is taken 40 minutes (maximum) just before the meal. It is better to take it as early as possible just before the meal. The best medical & health related results are achieved if taken within 15 minutes just before the meal.
I drink a cap size from the bottle a hlf hr before each meal. After fasting first thing before meals I take 1 cap. I had my son a yr ago and with apple cider vinegar added to my routine I'm now proud to say I'm back in the same pants I wore before pregnancy.. :)
I add one tblsp organic ACV to 8oz water, and drink it with every meal. Having low stomach acid, this has been a true game-changer for me health-wise. and has eliminated all bloating and other digestion issues I commonly had before adding ACV to my daily intake. I will never be without it now!
@@KatarinaS. Hi! Yes, I drink it along with my meal. That way it becomes a beverage of sorts and part of a lifestyle change. Not to be considered as an unpleasant medicine to swallow before or after a meal. Sometimes I add a little stevia to balance the sour acid taste. For a month, taking it this way, I have felt no negative effects on the body - and happy to report that my past issues with gas and other gastrointestinal disturbances (due to low stomach acid) have not come back since. I would like to add the awareness of not dosing any stronger than the 1 tblsp ACV to 8oz water because ACV in higher strength can erode the enamel off your teeth. It is an acid after all!
I drank a tablespoon in 8 oz water combined with a teaspoon of turmeric and ginger powder 2 hours before bed. I went from 167 to 140lbs within 2 months
Now it's the water? Don't you have to go to the bathroom every couple hours at night ? That's a lot of water before bed no? I wake up at least four times to pee at night. At least! At least!And I Watch what I drink after 5o'clock or ....so
Hi, my name is Robert. I'm 56 years old. I struggle with overweight. I've just recently started taking real serious steps to try and straighten out my health. And I just learned today right now about the effects and the benefits of apple cider vinegar. I just took it 2 tbsp of raw apple cider vinegar with turmeric mixed in with it with a little bit of black pepper to help the turmeric go into myself. Thank you for your wisdom.
I started drinking 2 tablespoons 1 in the morning and the other before dinner about 3 yrs ago and I went from 325 lbs to 211 lbs and AC1 use to stay around 8.5 and now it stays at 5.1 without any medication,But you have to be dedicated to it and my cholesterol went from around 300 total to 179 with a 5.2 ratio
@@nicolebougouneau3478 I have a stationary bike and a barbell and normally I ride the bike 15 minutes and just do upper workouts another 15 minutes with the barbell with only 5 lbs on the ends and do as many reps as possible every other day and that's pretty much all I do and feel great.
@@leonardleonardlove20 that's awesome, soooo some light weight lifting and cardio, got it👍🏽.. that's really awesome. I started the ACV today.. My health goals are similar to the results you achieved So I'm also incorporating workouts. I was wondering if you had done very intense workouts .. thanks for sharing😃
@@nicolebougouneau3478 No intense workouts just one tablespoon with distilled water and you can add a little lemon juice if you want to 20 minutes before you eat morning and evening and be consistent and it will happen.God Bless.
I just started an 18-6 fasting diet. Part of my regimen is to include apple cider vinegar. I’m glad to now know when to take it. My diet is one for insulin resistance, which is pretty low carb already. Thank you for this helpful information😊
So I been taking apple cider vinegar on and off for a few yrs. It does work! I see that my belly fat goes away faster. I take 1 TBL with half lemon juice and 1 TBL of water in the morning on an empty stomach. Now, thanks to this video, I will take as I usually do but also take when I'm gonna eat a lot of carbs!
Every evening before bed, I use a medicine cup to drink a 30ml dose of ACV followed by a big slog of water to dilute the residue ACV in my mouth then, brush my teeth and tongue to thoroughly clean my mouth.
Thanks for the info, I had no idea about the time of day this should be taken so that’s helpful. I actually use it to shower and wash my hair, as I am on the non-toxic journey, hoping to correct my hormones and lose some weight in the process. I was 117lbs until I had my 3rd child and couldn’t lose after that and just continued to gain over the years. I plan to start drinking it as well but I’m trying to get my gut right as I have awful GERD. I’m also working my way off medications, I was on 6 and now down to 3 🙌🏼
I grew up on a farm. Still today many old timers get up in the morning and take a couple of bites of sauerkraut. Many say it’s a probiotic? Don’t know but hey. It’s been going on for over 100 years in our family. And it’s homemade😂
Dr Zyrowski I started using 2 tablespoons of Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar a couple weeks ago. I take 1 tablespoon with water and 1 table on fresh Lemon juice. Same thing at bedtime. I have had horrible carb cravings mid afternoon. After listening to your video I have the idea that if I take it in the afternoon it might curb some of those carb cravings.
I do now but here is what I have noticed. Less puffy eyes, better skin, less inflammation and swelling in the hands and ankles. Just an all over better body feeling
Yes. Been taking it every morning in half a glass of water for about 6 months. I do feel less bloated than before so I am feeling positive about taking it.
I started drinking apple cider vinegar with lemon juice and lost 100 pounds in a year I weighed 368 went down to 268 I stopped for 3 months then restarted I lost another 10 pounds in a month and a half this works well for me and I'm over 50
I drink a glass of water with 1 tbsp ACV, 1 tbsp lemon juice, and a pinch of ground ginger. At night time, it kills my appetite and I don't snack before bedtime.
Hi Doc thank you for a great channel...quick question. How many Tbsp of ACV do you add to the water? And must it be hot or cold water? I drink a gallon of water per day with lemon slices and cucumber. I love lemon's
ACV has been part of my daily health routine for a couple of years. I am fully convinced it has helped me with a large & sustained weight loss and also helped me heal from intense acid reflux. I take one to two tablespoons daily in a glass of water. Thanks for the excellent video.
I’ve been taking it religiously since November which is about 3 months & I’ve lost about 15 pounds & I’m going to continue to take it. I do it 2 times a day I may slow it down to once a day 2 table spoons or just once tablespoon twice a day.
hi...ive been drinking ACV for 2 months..and it seems like nothing change? my weight is still the same? can you give me an advice on how will i drink it? thank you much
From Denmark, and been using it since around 2010 or so, often about 30-60ml in about 700ml water, ex. during spinning in the evening, and it works for me :)
50ml every day. It's lovely in warm water or with ginger, turmeric and black pepper as a soothing drink. You could always incorporate it into a salad dressing if you dont like the taste
It worked like magic for my acid reflux , 2 table spoons with water every morning before breakfast , the key is keeping using it and not stopping after start to get results.
Same for me had heartburn every other day how’s it’s gone 2 tbsp every morning been 7 months still going strong also lost 11lbs without changing anything or no exercise
I am almost 70 and my cholesterol was high so I started using the ACV in pineapple juice and have lowered my cholesterol by more than 50 points in a very short time. The pineapple juice is so good for my stomach as I have Barritts esophagus . It has been a game changer!
I drink Apple Cider Vinegar in the morning with breakfast to help control blood pressure. It has helped with my blood pressure but not at all in the fast loss department.
Hi, I'm Phyllis (the wife). I've used ACV inconsistently for 1-2 years, and of course not had much success, so that's the first thing I can fix. Never heard that the timing was an important part of the process, so this was definitely good to hear, and I will implement that as well, so I greatly appreciate you sharing this information! I use Bragg's ACV, but I found that mixing it with a splash of lemon juice, some water and a little salt actually makes it more palatable. It still has a distinct vinegar / lemon flavor, but the water and salt seems to tame the 'bite' from the ACV and lemon.
2 tbsp of ACV diluted with three quarters of a cup of water in the morning on an empty stomach delays my first meal of the day later in the morning around 11am. 2 tbsp diluted with same amount of water at night after the main meal helps to offset snacking later.
I've started to drink 1 tbsp of ACV with 2 ounces of raw milk. Immediately followed by another 2 ounces raw milk to rinse the vinegar out of my mouth, insuring it does not deteriorate my dentine. Raw vinegar is a powerful solvent that can eliminate dead matter, however it uses up a lot of fats and minerals to harness the byproducts of this detoxification.
@@evanhughes1510 Because raw milk is high in minerals. It helps to protect your dentine from the acid. If you drink vinegar with water or by itself it will rot your teeth out of your head, given you do it on a daily basis for a long period of time.
@@Acnologia it shouldn’t rot your teeth in water if you dilute it with sufficient water, and also drink it through a straw, and swish out your mouth afterwards
I have been taking 1tbsp with breakfast and also lunch and lastly the 2 tablespoons with last meal. I have been doing this for a year. Reason I started was to help with my arthritis. Also in the evening I take 3 grams of ginger root with 3 grams of turmeric. This has been a God send of knowledge for me as I can move and walk so much better now . Even listening to this video has given more info that I at least know I am taking it corre toy. Thank you. Bless you for educating the masses.
I drink 1 tablespoon ACV in a “trenta” size Starbucks cup of water twice a day (I add 1 teaspoon “Calm” for magnesium/1 teaspoon potassium’s citrate powder/1 large splash (probably a tablespoon) of organic lemon juice or a fresh lemon or lime) pinch of pink salt, and depending on my mood, a splash of some raspberry ice a drink with stevia (a bottle will last 2 weeks so very little) or a few drops of raspberry stevia... carrying it around with me and drinking it through a straw which helps bypass teeth and I drink more. I drink 2-3 of these concoctions a day. Gets rid of heartburn... so dramatically decreases asthma, as well as decreases appetite. I gagged at the taste of ACV at first but now I look forward to it ... almost crave it! My #1 drink!
I finally did this last year and about to get back to this ongoing. I thought I had lost some weight but lost 40 lbs. I pray to go back to going in that direct, down. Thanks for the confirmation of the best time to help everything...❤
I drink ACV with lemon (2 tbsp of each) on an empty stomach. I also take ACV Nutriflair (2 caps with my daily vitamins. I’ve lost 65 pounds and I’m trying to lose this last 40. Since doing this, I’ve lost over 2 inches off my waist in the last 2 weeks. I will incorporate drinking it with my higher carb meals as you suggested. 🤞🏾 How does ACV help me? I think clearer & I maintain my calorie deficit.
Almost every day, 1 tbsp and 16oz cup of water with 1 tbsp lemon Juice. I’m 5’9” tall, 155 to 160lbs, Good health and 3 mile walk 5 times a week. 🎉 67 years old, no grey hair yet. 💝
I use an old recipe from my granny, called switchel. 2tbsp ACV, 2tbsp lemon juice, 12oz seltzer or sparkling water. Very refreshing on a hot summers day.
I take a tbsp first thing in the morning with warm water, lemon, cinnamon. I recently started adding a tsp of chia seeds and black cumin seed oil after reading about it's benefits. The black seed oil is nasty on its own, but I can stomach it like this. I get another dose of ACV in my salad dressing for supper. What I notice the most is appetite suppressant, and no cravings for sweet or salty. I'm down to a size 14 from 16 pre- COVID. I also think my exercise routine helps. 1.5 hours of walking daily with a weighted backpack and strength training 3x a week. I'm going on 60 and 3 years ago I was pre-diabetic....not anymore! ❤
I drink 1 tbsp diluted in a big glass of water upon rising. Always through a straw. Later in the day if I'm going to eat carbs I'll have another glass 20 min before a meal. Also, I use it when breaking a longer fast because I learned that it helps with digestion.
I’ve been putting 2 capfuls into my first glass of water along with a couple squirts of lemon. Although I was not aiming to lose weight I actually have lost weight. My aim is to improve my gut micro biome after taking an antibiotic. 81 y.o type 2 insulin taking diabetic
I take ACV 15 to 30 min before a meal. 1 tablespoon or less is all I can do since it hurts my teeth, I do dilute it in 20oz of water and use a straw, but my teeth are sensitive. I actually like the taste with some lemon juice in it. I take ACV everyday before every meal ( which is usually 2 meals a day). I developed Covid long haulers acid reflux so bad I felt like there was a baseball in my throat, my doc wanted me to see a gastroenterologist and started me on omeprazol, after researching I decided to try a natural approach using ACV, it works so well I’ll never go back to prescription meds.
I drink 2 tablespoons of ACV in 16 oz of water with 2 tablespoons of lemon juice 3 times in the morning. I fast after supper until early afternoon when I eat some grapes or a protein bar mid afternoon. I have lost 40 pounds in the last year and my joints feel much better.
@@PaulThompsonPaulyWog its hard at first but worth it, the cider vinegar I'm putting in lunchtime meal now where its appropriate. Ive been on a 18/6 fast too , its to help the vinegar work. Started my " Food re-education " 28 days ago. Weight was 199.8lbs this morning I'm (193.6)lbs, thats a good drop in the time. No exercise too as im disabled. I did have a bad day and was drinking lots af beer too( Sugar Oh No). Lol 😆
No mention of the severe danger from long term use of apple cider vinegar or higher dosages causing severely low potassium levels especially if you exercise a lot? I nearly ended up in the hospital from apple cider vinegar and it took me weeks to feel normal again. If you take apple vinegar you must, emphasize must, dramatically increase your potassium intake as well or else you will cause severe symptoms like high heart rate and blood pressure. Low potassium can kill you, this is no joke!
Absolutely correct. I'd like to add awareness of drinking it undiluted. I did and after 8 weeks got a horrific pain in my throat. I was shocked to discover I had severe acid burn. I couldn't swallow properly for days. I know it's rare but it can happen. I now dilute in a large glass of warm water and no further problems.
If you are going to yell at people like this, it would really help if you told them how much you took in a day to wind up like this. No one ends up in the hospital eating a tablespoon or two on their salad.
Yes I too had a drop in potassium after taking a tablespoon twice a day of ACV and my legs started to swell & tighten. Ive never had this problem before. When I realised it was low potassium I added in some olive oil and all was good.
ACV + lemon juice + salt + crushed or grated ginger + sparkling mineral water. I make 2 liters every day and swill it from a thermos. I've been doing this for over 7 years, though, sometimes, the ginger is hard to source. I don't forensically weigh dosages, just go with the flow. It tastes like a sparkling sour soft drink- not at all unpleasant. I'm sure it must be beneficial because the other members of my family won't go near it.
I started to drink 2 tablespoons in the morning about 3 weeks ago and I do notice a loss of appetite and more energy. I also started to drink ACV 30 minutes before diner and I do notice that I have been losing weight without changing my diet. Maybe because I don’t feel hungry anymore at night. It’s surprisingly true and it works for me. However I would like to know how long should I continue to take ACV? Some studies don’t recommend to take it more than 90 days

Interesting enough. I've known about Apple Cider Vinegar for quite some time however, I need to lose weight and have forgotten when is best to take ACV with Lemon Concentrated? Thanks for this video. At 80 years old. I have this thing about being 80 and who cares to, well maybe I should lose some to feel better.🤪
I've been taking Braggs ACV for about two years. I haven't noticed any weight loss but it does help with assisting Glucose levels and I feel ready to go next morning. I am now 83yrs old and in good health so far. ( I have Type 2 Diabetes) (3 tblsps per day)
Does apple cider vinegar help with gut health? I don't need it for weight loss but use it occasionally for digestion .Also, I take 2 tablespoons with about 10 oz of water.
I’m from the UK and it’s apple season. I have started making my own apple cider vinegar. It’s so easy to do. I watched a great video from the channel Mary’s nest. At the moment it is fermenting so It’s not at the stage for drinking yet. I have store bought Organic ACV and I have been taking 1 tbs every morning for 1 week. I think I need to up my dose after watching your video. I suffer from inflammation due to three autoimmune diseases, psoriasis, mastocytosis, lichen sclerosis, and throw in Osteoarthritis. Plus I could do with losing 28 lbs. I’m hoping that ACV will help with that. Any more advice would be appreciated. Thanks for a great video.
Two tablespoons in a glass of water first thing in the morning. Don't need to lose weight - just like the taste and find it a refreshing drink in the morning. Have been consuming it for last three years. Not sure if I believe all the hype about it, but have always done OMAD and perhaps it reduces the appetite.
awesome info! i have always love eating and that made me lose weight super hard, tried a lot of diets and exercises along with it, but what made it possible was agoge diet. it changed my life. its always about the right diet for u
I just started acv last week. 1 tbs in the morning and 1 in the evening but you say 1 in the morning 1 in the afternoon and 2 In the evening ... going to do this to help my diabetes and insulin resistance. Thank you
Past 2 years I'm on HBP meds. Started Bragg acv liquid (2-3 x's wk) on Aug 1 2021 for kidney stones. BP dropped dangerously low. Stopped HBP meds. Went to Dr Aug 18 for dizziness. Did series of labs, etc. Bad labs. Dangerous high cholesterol + discovered I'm diabetic. Dr will be putting me on cholesterol and diabetic meds and checking blood sugar 4 x's a day. Good news is I'm off BP meds. Goal is to wean off other drugs but being elderly, I see the seriousness of needing to stabilize cholesterol and sugar levels so I will take meds as prescribed with intentions of weaning, as I do not like any unnatural meds. Question: How long does it take to destroy bone density/mass from consuming acv regularly? (I don't want to take acv the rest of my life)
@@dr.nickzyrowski Six years ago I transitioned from being a SADitarian to a Nutritarian. Three years ago I started practicing intermittent fasting. I saw your videos on ACV and began incorporating it into my daily routine. I went from 235 pounds to my current weight of 185. Eating a nutrient dense diet of whole plant foods, a natural beverage of ACV fights right in. I'm 70 years old, disease and medication free. I really enjoy your video presentation style. Succinct, and always on point. I post a lot of your videos to the Facebook group Intermittent Fasters over 50.
I saw this video a week ago today and started taking two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar at each meal which now from the comments I’ve read may be too much. I eat a low carb diet due to being insulin resistant so I may go to one tablespoon at breakfast and lunch and two tablespoons at dinner. I had been at a stall weight wise for a few weeks but by the morning of the seventh day, (today) I had lost 4 lbs. I also noticed that I wasn’t craving snacks in the evening which was something I had to fight prior to adding ACV. I will continue taking ACV this way and seeing how I make out.
