Apple Cider Vinegar and Weight Loss… How Does it Work?

No one is really sure how apple cider vinegar works to promote weight loss, but there is no shortage of theories. 
It is generally believed that the nutrients, enzymes, and organic acids in apple cider vinegar cause weight reduction by acting as an appetite suppressant, by increasing your body's metabolic rate, by reducing water retention, and by helping you maintain a feeling of well being. 
For more information on each one of these possible mechanisms, click on Apple Cider Vinegar Weight Loss Theories. 

Recent medical research has highlighted the connection between levels of insulin and weight loss . That coupled with the fact that vinegar is known to slow the rise of blood sugar after a meal leads to the suggestion that the taking of apple cider vinegar with a meal reduces the amount of insulin required to process the meal resulting in weight loss.

Pre-Load Jitters

It's the day prior to loading and at this point I have felt every different emotion about this round. I have been Criticized, questioned and encouraged. I am feeling very bloated and sick and am terrified to get on the scale. I know that I have gained almost all of my initial weight loss back and that makes me sad. My body is carrying the weight much better and I do think it is safe to believe a good portion of it is water...nevertheless, frightened. I took the time to pre portion 100g packets of chicken breast and have started to sort through my old meal habits. After seeking some council I have decided to head the advice and try to stay away from starch and sugars for loading and go straight for the fats. Therefore I will eat a commemorative pizza tonight. Let the games begin!

New & Improved HCG Chili

Start with empty frying pan, diced onions and minced garlic. I prefer about 1/4 cup diced onions and two cloves of garlic minced. In one pan, saute diced onions & minced garlic. When it begins to stick to the pan add about 1/3 cup of water and bring to a simmer. In a separate pan: Brown lean ground beef or veal - It is recommended 96/4 our more lean. Drain fat, add to pan containing onions and garlic. Add to pan: 1/2 tsp. oregano 1/2 tsp. thyme 1/2 tsp.garlic powder 1/2 tsp.paprika 1/4-1/2 tsp. black pepper -to taste 1-2 tsp of chili powder 1/4 tsp Onion Salt 2 diced roma tomatoes or one vine ripe tomato Sprinkle of red pepper flakes Add 1/2 cup of water, cover and let simmer. Contain you to check, stir and water by 1/4 cup until tomatoes are cooked down. Once tomatoes are ready, uncover and simmer until the desired texture is reached.
