Apple cider vinegar HELP

(Crow T. Robot) #21

If you’ve just softened your enamel with acid, brushing directly afterwards isn’t good. Probably better just to swish with baking soda or plain water.

Pinch nose. Swallow. Do a funny little dance with tongue sticking out.

Done.

How I make fake “Kombucha”…

  1. Big cup
  2. Ice
  3. One shot of green tea (we have a Tassimo at work, hit the espresso setting so it’s concentrated - could really use any tea or pod system)
  4. 12 oz can of La Croix in USA (like lime or any sparkling water really)
  5. OPTIONAL! (No need for Forum to explode):Slice of some sort of citrus (like lime)
  6. Tablespoon or so of Bragg’s Apple Cider Vinegar
    5.) Few drops of Better Stevia

Thanks all for all the great ideas. I’ll give a few of them a try.

I added it to my daily keto-aid today, it was tolerable. Since I’m at the bottom of the bottle ACV, ended up with some goobers in the bottom of my cup which was a bit gross!

I add salt and find it makes it much easier to drink. The salty flavor balances the tangy vinegar flavor.

I actually love the way it tastes this way and have about 1 oz in the morning and 1 oz at night. I dilute that with about 16 oz water and about 1/2 to 1 tsp of salt.

i don’t know why i didn’t think of salt…i’ll have to try that tomorrow
thanks!

why dont you folks just put it on your salads? The only time I drink it straight is as a trick to stop a major craving during fasting. Suck as the wife baking cookies LOL. Its great for that. whatever is in your stomach telling you to eat gets taken care of real quick. I dont seem to have those massive cravings as much as i did last year though.

Its all I put on my salads for dressing along with a little bit of avocado oil. I try to make sure to get a bit every day though just because its so good for you. Well worth any discomfort.

I mix it with about 3/4 cup of fizzy water (sodastream here too) and love it. I have read that it is not good to swallow it undiluted as it is rough on the throat.

#30

I use very little (a splash in a 24 oz) in water, but trying to drink more water and more ACV, so just keep on keeping on.

I stopped taking acv supps a while ago I never noticed a benefit with and no difference without… Probably just me though…

#32

I enjoy mixing mine with La Croix.

don’t know if this will help. but. as a child we drank it in salad dressing …so maybe try making olive oil dressing…over avocado maybe? or salad…or even marinate cooked steak(if any leftovers) in it. to me it quite delicious with other stuff.

#34

I’ve been taking ACV pills for a while now. I’m not sure I notice a difference either, but it’s SUPPOSED to lower blood sugar. I’m not T2D, but insulin resistance so figured it was worth a shot. Of course, I have no way of testing it since I don’t have a glucose meter…lol

#35

and give up ranch? Blasphemy! LOL just kidding, it would be worth a try. Thanks.

#36

That chiropractor guy…Dr. Berg?..said in a video that if you need ACV (because you’re too alkaline), it won’t be hard to get down; you’ll crave it. But he said if you really struggle to take it, you probably don’t need it (you’re acidic enough).

I don’t know if I buy that or not, but it was justification enough in my mind to quit torturing myself.

#37

I like that answer.

I’m fairly new to this (3/14), and bought a store brand standard ACV and have been “choking it down” because I wanted the benifits. The other day I bought a bottle of Organic, unfiltered ACV with “The Mother”. I’m sure it’s similar to the Braggs brand I’ve heard of a lot.

Whole new ball game. Not nearly as strong or bitter. Goes down easy, and actually tastes OK.

#39

I bought the Braggs brand, and I’m not kidding when I say that I think that is some vile stuff… lol

Thanks for the info. I work at Wegmans, and the Organic, Unfiltered ACV I got was Wegmans brand.

OTOH, maybe I just like vile stuff… :smile:
