It’s been endorsed by celebrities such as Kim Kardashian, Katy Perry and Victoria Beckham. But there are downsides, and it may not be as effective as you think.
It’s the slimmer’s holy grail: lose weight without dieting by eating miraculous fat-burning foods. Certainly, there has been no shortage of madcap theories. Remember the one that celery takes more calories to digest than it contains? Spoiler alert: it doesn’t. But what about the latest lazy miracle weight-loss “food”,Type apple cider vinegar – or ACV to those in the know – into Google and you will be deluged with health claims for what is essentially fermented apple juice.
There does seem to be a grain of truth in this. A 2016 Singapore study concluded that vinegar, albeit not specifically ACV, may help produce hormones involved in glucose regulation, improve insulin sensitivity and even increase blood flow to tissues. “There have been several taste studies done that found that drinking vinegar in general can induce a slight feeling of nausea and a lessening of appetite. That does not negate that apple cider vinegar may have a small benefit on weight loss. But the mechanism here is that the ACV is probably making the person feel a little ill and reducing their appetite.”
So, does this mean everyone should be drinking vinegar shots with their meals? Crowe has this advice: “No. If you don’t have diabetes, then your blood glucose is being regulated just fine.”
