Mark's Daily Apple Tuesday, August 16, 2022 11:00 AM Apple cider vinegar is purported to have a number of impressive benefits. Chief among these is that apple cider vinegar can help you lose weight—allegedly. As I wrote previously, much of the hype around apple cider vinegar benefits is unsubstantiated by the available science. It has some provocative effects on blood sugar and insulin sensitivity that are not to be discounted, but otherwise, apple cider vinegar is not the miracle tonic some would have you believe. I didn't cover the question of whether apple cider vinegar can help you lose weight, though, so I'll dig into that question today. I wouldn't blame you for being skeptical. You should be. Losing weight is a notorious struggle, especially if one follows conventional diet advice. If a cheap, readily available product could prompt dramatic weight loss, everyone would know about it. Apple cider vinegar would no longer be cheap and readily available because it would be the hottest commodity around. So I think we all know that it's not going to "melt the fat away" or any such nonsense. I'm more interested in whether it's something you could add on top of an otherwise healthy diet and lifestyle to give you a small leg up. And before you roll your eyes and accuse me of buying into some supermarket tabloid headline—One Secret Trick for Losing Weight without Even Trying!—there are some potentially interesting metabolic reasons to think that apple cider vinegar might do something here. Apple Cider Vinegar for Weight Loss If certain wellness influencers are to be believed, you can just drink apple cider vinegar or chomp down apple cider vinegar gummies or pills and watch the scale drop. Some people even swear that you can lose weight by putting apple cider vinegar on your feet. No, I'm not kidding. You'll be shocked to learn that these claims are overblown. They're based on only two human studies (and a handful of rat studies that are suggestive but... still rats). In one, researchers put 44 adults on a low-calorie diet for 12 weeks. Half the participants also drank two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar each day. The vinegar group lost 4 pounds on average, while the control group lost 2.3 pounds. That's enough of a difference to be statistically significant, but it's far from earth-shattering, especially when you consider that these folks dieted for three months to achieve such meager weight loss. In the other study, 155 Japanese adults with BMIs between 25 and 30 drank zero, one, or two tablespoons of apple vinegar every day for 12 weeks. The vinegar drinkers ended up losing more body fat, both subcutaneous and the all-important visceral fat, compared to the no-vinegar control group. Weight loss was once again pretty modest: the low-dose (one tablespoon group) lost 2.6 pounds and 1.4 centimeters off their waists in 12 weeks, while the high-dose (two tablespoons) lost 3.7 pounds and 1.9 centimeters. That's it. I'd pay it little mind except in the Japanese study, the placebo (no vinegar) group … Continue reading "Apple Cider Vinegar for Weight Loss" The post Apple Cider Vinegar for Weight Loss appeared first on Mark's Daily Apple. |
