Vinegar before you eat

Put a tablespoon of vinegar in a tall glass of water, and drink 20 minutes before to 20 minutes after eating. You can use any vinegar but apple cider is the most palatable. If you don’t like the taste, start with a teaspoon and work up, or put vinegar in the dressing of your green salad or vegetable starter.

By doing that, “cravings are curbed, hunger is tamed and more fat is burnt”. The acetic acid in vinegar slows down the release of glucose into the blood and speeds the uptake of glucose in the muscles. In a study of dieters eating the same restricted calories for 12 weeks, the vinegar group lost 11lb while the others lost only 5lb.
