Apple cider vinegar

[MrTrebus]

I've recently spent 2 hours chatting with a stranger.

Totally normal everyday middle aged man and he said he's started having 2 tablespoons morning and evening of Apple cider vinegar with "mother (thats an ingredient I don't mean drinking it with his mum) in a glass of water morning and evening and he's lost 5kg in a short time.

No change of diet otherwise and no added exercise. So I've ordered a bottle of the right stuff on Amazon for £6 to give it a go. AIBU? was he BU? does it work? Am I grasping at straws with my 4 stone to lose?!

This is a zombie thread. There may ne discussions on this in the weight loss chat. if you Google it, there's articles explaining why it can cause bloating. People on my fb weight loss group say it helps.

I tried Googling. Only articles I could find say it helps with bloating

I took this in a desperate effort to help with my overnight fasting blood sugars when I had gestational diabetes with Dc4. Along with my diet, and insulin. It didn’t really help with that and definitely not the reason I lost 8kg but I felt less bloated the next morning. Was an acquired taste though

It does neutralise stomach acid as it basically encourages the body to produce more alkali to offset / I drink vinegar regularly to offset acidosis from kidney disease - can always tell my electrolytes are imbalanced where I start to crave it
