reality....
Anyone willing to consume something as nasty as cider vinegar to lose weight is likely doing other things to lose weight as well.
Correlation does not equal causation.

Until you pickle!
Vinegar is highly effective at killing many microbes including gut flora. It may work by interfering with normal digestion. Swallowing an anti-microbial cleaning acid to lose weight probably isn’t the brightest idea.
The problem with pickle juice is it’s so high in sodium. If you don’t have high BP and you sweat a lot (exercise or work) then you should be okay with it. Good to replenish those salts before cramps set in.
Vinegar also helps with heart burn because it’s acidic. Something is eaten which causes the gut to kick it’s digestive juices into high gear which start coming back up the pipe. The vinegar helps this by giving those stomach acids a hand in digesting the offending pepperoni or whatever it is. Antacids do the opposite so the digestion of the pepperoni is then moved into the intestines. Not really a good thing to do very often. Once in a while doesn’t hurt.
I make my own fruit/veggie juice and bottle it but before I do I add some apple cider vinegar. Walmart sells it by the gallon for $4. I then drink one bottle a day with breakfast. I don’t know if it helps with losing weight but I do feel better as compared to when I run out and get too lazy to make more. Those slow juicing machines are the best. I just use apples and carrots; two of the least expensive items but sometimes add whatever strikes my fancy.
My dentist would kick my @$$ if I told him I was doing this. That's why I go to him - he's pretty protective of my teeth.
My wife has started drinking 2 tablespoons of Bragg's in eight ounces of cold water just before bed. Her blood sugar reading in the morning is averaging 75-100 points LESS...she is hoping it lowers her A1C.

Fire Cider recipe:

There are lots of recipes. Some variations but the core is usually the same. Easy to make. But you have to wait weeks to use it.
I add an ounce to a glass of carbonated water in the morning and it tastes like a wonderful spicy, garlicky soda.

Topics such as this don’t concern me, I want to know how to gain weight. I’ve lost 7 pounds since July after remaining at a stable 140 plus or minus 2 lbs for the past 40 years...........
Drink more milkshakes using full fat ice cream and full fat milk. Add in berries for extra nutrition.
I should have added there are ready-made fruit/veggie drinks with vinegar already in it but I like to make my own so it doesn’t have anything added. I of course refrigerate the juice I make so it will last up to 2 weeks before it starts going bad. No preservatives. The stuff I make comes out a little thick tasting so I fill the reusable bottles half full then top it off with filtered tap water. Another money saving trick. :) I make 8-9 bottles at a time so I don’t have to do it daily and clean the machine so often.
Another option I’m considering for when I run out of apples and carrots is to buy a case of veggie juice like V8 and simply add a shot of vinegar per can. A kind of plan B. There are probably some fruit juices that don’t have so much sugar that might be able to be mixed with the V8 or Clamato.
One other thing I do is buy powdered beets and multi-vegetable. I put some in a half glass of my homemade juice then mix it in real well because it likes to clump. Those little hand-held mixers work well for dissolving the powder. Then just mix it in with the pitcher of juice before bottling. Yeah, it takes about a half hour, but I think it’s worth the effort and I’m retired so I have the time.
If so, it is pretty good on a salad.
That’s the stuff.
Never added lemon to it. Going to have to try that.
I mix a tablespoon of the organic Apple cider vinegar with about a half cup of diet cranberry juice twice a day. It’s tasty and I have lost weight.
