The apple cider vinegar diet is quite a popular diet, which is based solely on the idea that vinegar makes us lose weight.

On the one hand, we know that apple cider vinegar improves glucose tolerability by acting on insulin and contains acetic acid which reduces high triglycerides. On the other hand, a very interesting 2009 study established that ingesting one and a half to three tablespoons of vinegar had a significant effect on weight and especially body fat reduction in the participants. 

In the apple cider vinegar diet, the advantages of using apple cider vinegar, with its prebiotic action, are combined with a low-calorie diet.

In the apple cider vinegar diet, vinegar should be dosed at the right time and before certain specific meals.
Only in this way will it have a purifying, prebiotic effect, and a greater effect on blood sugar, body fat and triglycerides.

RULES OF THE APPLE VINEGAR DIET

Apple cider vinegar should be diluted with water in a ratio of 1.5: 10.
In a liter of plain water, dissolve 3 teaspoons of organic apple cider vinegar and one level of honey.
We drink this water during the day.
In addition, we must take apple cider vinegar before the three main meals, in the doses of a teaspoon dissolved in a cup of water. Choosing apple cider vinegar is essential for your diet to work. It must be organic and unfiltered.
