Can Apple Cider Vinegar Help You Lose Weight?

Scott Keatley, RD, co-owner of Keatley Medical Nutrition Therapy, was featured in a Loseit.com article discussing the potential role of apple cider vinegar (ACV) in weight loss. Scott highlighted how acetic acid, a key component of ACV, might influence lipid metabolism and insulin sensitivity, which could reduce fat storage and blood triglyceride levels. He also explained that ACV may slow stomach emptying, leading to prolonged feelings of fullness, which can aid in weight management. However, he emphasized that while ACV shows promise when combined with a calorie-restricted diet, it should not be considered a standalone solution for weight loss. Larger, long-term studies are needed to confirm its effectiveness and safety.
