Will Apple Cider Vinegar Really Help You Lose Weight?

Spoiler: Not Exactly!

The Myth:“Drinking apple cider vinegar (ACV) daily melts away fat and boosts weight loss.”

You’ve probably heard it all , take a shot of ACV before meals, and the pounds will magically fall off. It’s everywhere on social media, but is there solid science behind it?

The Truth:

While some studies suggest ACV may help regulate blood sugar and slightly curb appetite, there's no strong evidence to support it as a miracle fat burner. Most "weight loss” results linked to ACV come from small studies or anecdotal claims ,not peer-reviewed science.In fact, drinking it undiluted can cause tooth enamel damage, throat irritation, and digestive discomfort ,none of which sounds particularly wellness-friendly.

What Actually Works?

Sustainable weight management comes from a combo of balanced nutrition, movement, and supporting your gut health, something we’re all about at Foodhak. Rather than sipping vinegar, fuel your body with anti-inflammatory, fibre-rich foods that support metabolism and digestion in a gentle, effective way. Your gut (and taste buds) will thank you.

Bottom Line:

Apple cider vinegar isn’t a magic solution and no, you don’t need to endure the burn to reach your health goals. Go for food that nourishes instead of punishing fads.
