Apple Cider Vinegar & fat loss??

[ChukiDori]

I have a bottle of pure apple cider vinegar

A health guy told me it would dissolve body fat ..and to take about 2 tbsp
's a day.

Would someone Knowladgablecare to explain?

[compleks]

No, it won't disolve bodyfat. But I have heard it cures cancer... (not really, but people seem to think it's some sort of miricle 'food')

[ChukiDori]

What about freshly chopped garlic.

i forget the chemical that is created when chopped....but i researched it and it apparently has antiseptic properties and dissolves fatty acids.

Would that dissolve body fat?

my fist will dissolve your face, shall we try that?

acetate in vinegar mainly has its supposed effects by

1) slowing gastric emptying, thus lowering the GI of a meal
2) inhibiting lipogenesis, by interfering with malonyl-CoA (or its production?) gettin' it on with FA-synthase

here are some M&M threads about it:

Its pretty simple. The diets where you eat 1-2 tbsp of vinegar on all your food ruins the yumminess and so you eat less. Its just a trick to control portion size, leading to weight loss.

Vinegar is delicious though.

i wonder what effects that has on your PH levels

Do you mean he thinks it actually physically dissolves the fat off you? Pretty unlikely I say. Whats in it? ethanoic acid? I dont know what that does but I have heard that vinegar is good for you before.
