Weight loss goals can be hit by combining a healthy diet plan with regular exercise. However, sipping on apple cider vinegar could speed up the weight loss process.
Sipping on the drink each day could be enough to notice weight loss results, nutritionist at OSU, Lily Soutter, explained.
She said: “Studies show that enjoying a daily dose of apple cider vinegar alongside a balanced diet may help you to reach your weight loss goals.
“This may be due to apple cider vinegar’s rich content of acetic acid which is responsible for its characteristic tangy flavour.”
The drink has reduce body fat and most apple cider vinegar products do not contain many calories.
DON’T MISS
Lily added: “Whilst it is not yet fully understood why this happens, it is thought that acetic acid may stimulate a pathway which reduces the storage of fat, whilst increasing the rate at which the body burns fat.
“This may help you to achieve a healthy weight.” What’s more, OSU contains only 36 calories per tablespoon and is a super flavoursome way to add a low-calorie twist to your meals, whilst aiding weight loss.”
How much should you have?
Slimmers may start to notice the results with as little as one tablespoon of the condiment a day, the nutritionist said.
“By consuming 15 to 30ml of apple cider vinegar per day in a diluted format, you can achieve health outcomes as seen in clinical trials, such as weight loss, blood glucose control and improved cardiovascular health,” Lily explained.
The expert revealed dieters can mix one tablespoon of apple cider vinegar with 180ml of still, sparking or warm water.
She added: “When mixed with still or sparkling water it is a flavoursome, hydrating drink and is a much easier way for my clients to enjoy their daily dose of vinegar.”
If hoping to mask the taste, it can be mixed into a smoothie or salad dressing.
