kait to start your free trial today the topic of today is apple cider vinegar and weight loss
now i know i know there are a million weight loss hacks out there everything from fat burning pills
and detox teas to tricks such as eating food on a smaller plate and while some of these might
work to varying degrees others are complete rubbish so where does apple cider vinegar fall
the truth is is that apple cider vinegar can actually be very effective for weight loss and
this is supported by several clinical studies so incorporating it into your diet and your routine
could not be easier number one it's inexpensive and number two it's easy so in today's video
we're going to talk about why it works for weight loss whether or not the gummies and the pills are
as effective as the liquid is and when you should use it for best results why it works apple cider
vinegar is a vinegar made from fermented apple juice and you might automatically think that
this would mean it is high in sugar as it is made from apple juice however the fermentation process
breaks down the sugar so there is next to none left by the time apple cider vinegar is created
a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar has only three calories and less than 0.1 grams of sugar
now there are a few different reasons why apple cider vinegar can support weight loss
and they all tie in with blood sugar keeping our blood sugar stable is key for weight loss when
our blood sugar spikes and crashes we experience cravings specifically for sugar when our blood
sugar is stable we do not have these cravings hunger is more of a feeling when your blood
sugar is stable and you don't have to act on it as reactively of course the problem with cravings
is that they can cause us to consume unhealthy foods and they can also cause us to over consume
both of which are not great for weight loss so how does apple cider vinegar play into this
well studies have shown that consuming apple cider vinegar before a meal can significantly lower the
blood sugar and insulin response one study had participants take one and a half tablespoons
of apple cider vinegar two minutes before a high carb meal that included a bagel and orange juice
they found that the group that consumed the apple cider vinegar were up to 34 percent more insulin
sensitive an hour after eating compared to the group that consumed the placebo this meant their
blood sugar was lower and more stable a lower blood sugar response means you're not gonna
have that big spike and you're also not gonna have those cravings later on but why does apple
cider vinegar have this effect it has this effect because vinegar increases the speed at which our
muscle cells can absorb glucose every time we eat carbohydrates are broken down into sugar
and released into the bloodstream insulin is then released to bring the glucose from our bloodstream
to our cells mainly our muscle cells and apple cider vinegar speeds up this process but there
is another part to this as well insulin is known as the fat storage hormone because when insulin is
elevated our bodies are in fat storage mode this is because the insulin being high means that there
is excess sugar in the bloodstream which our bodies can use for energy and because there's
energy already readily available our bodies don't need to burn our body fat to create energy
and the benefits of apple cider vinegar don't just stop at weight loss because it helps to control
blood sugar and improve our insulin sensitivity it can help to reverse insulin resistance and type
2 diabetes as well one study had diabetics take two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar before bed
and this lowered their fasting blood sugar when they woke up by four percent they didn't make
any other changes to their diet or lifestyle now before we get into how to actually use apple cider
vinegar and when is the best time to take it i'm quickly going to take a moment to thank today's

your first order thank you again to squarespace for sponsoring this video how to use it so how do
you use apple cider vinegar all you have to do is drink one tablespoon diluted in a glass of water
one to ten minutes before you eat and i want to highlight that it is important that you dilute
it in water and also drink it through a straw if possible because the vinegar can damage your teeth
some people drink it before every meal and some people only drink it before meals that are higher
in carbs you can also consume it with the meal for example you can use it as or in a salad dressing
but consuming it before you eat is more effective now one question i'm often asked when i talk about
apple cider vinegar is are the apple cider vinegar pills and gummies just as effective unfortunately
the answer is no these supplements do not have the same effect as the liquid now before i wrap
up i just want to make it really clear that apple cider vinegar is not a miracle worker
it might sound pretty amazing and honestly it is but it doesn't work unless you make diet and
lifestyle changes as well you can't just keep eating the same way you were when you gained
weight and start taking apple cider vinegar and expect the weight to just fall off yes apple cider
vinegar can absolutely help you to accelerate your results but you need to make proper diet
and lifestyle changes as well so if you guys are looking for more tips on how to lose weight
