I've discovered the merits of apple cider vinegar (ACV) and just wanted to put it out there for anyone who is interested. I've been drinking it every day for 2 weeks and it has significantly cut down on my cravings and the 2 times I have attempted to drink some wine it has made me feel really yucky so I haven't overindulged (meaning 3 glasses and I'm ready for bed ... I'm sure some of you are thinking that's 3 glasses too much but for me its better than 3 bottles! ;-) )
To me it feels like its working in a similar way that Roberta describes Topamax working in her book (I tried Topamax and it REALLY didn't agree with me so I can't take it).
It HAS to be raw unfiltered apple cider vinegar -- usually on the label it will say something like "with the mother protein". I use Bragg's, which is where I found out about it (braggs.com). This means it has all the good stuff for your body in it. Its cloudy and tastes very apple-y. I've been drinking about 2 tsp in a glass of cold filtered water 2-3 times a day. I've also significantly cut down on my dairy & meat intake, and have been eating lots of veg, especially raw veg and beans. After a day or 2 of that I was craving the ACV and salad!
ACV is touted as something that cleans out your system and boosts your immunity among other things. I bought the ACV book from the Bragg website and they make many claims about what it does (note that the Bragg Family is a bit strange and the book is not very well written). They do NOT claim it helps with AL issues, this is just my own personal discovery ... but it is helping me so I thought maybe it might help others here!
Cheers! :h:h:h
