anyone heard of apple cider vinegar pills?  what are the benefits and drawbacks?

I've used them.  They work really well at flushing out your system, and can be beneficial not only toward weight loss, but may have some benefits toward treating minor arthitis.  One complaint is that it can make urine smell really pungent from the vinegar.  Other than that, the pills are not bad.

I am drinking one sip 4 times a day and have lost 4 pounds so far, with no other changes in my diet. I already eat healthy, and wanted something I could do that wouldn't put me on an all soup or all veggie diet. I also do Oxycise. Its breathing excersises that are also supposaed to help you lose weight. So I think my 4 pounds is a combination of the two. The taste is a bit strong, but I like tart things, so its not too bad. Its supposed to be great for balancing out acidity in the stomach and alot of other things. It is also supposed to reduce your appetite. I'm very happy with my results so far and plan to continue drinking apple cider vinegar. As many different weight loss plans have suggested, I also try to make my biggest meal at breakfast, with a medium lunch and a smaller sized dinner.

Not to my knowledge. Are you talking about drinking it? If so, even on my worst day I'd rather have a period than drink vinegar.

these products are effective; you must follow the suggestions on the bottle b/c a lot of them suggest drinking plenty of water; regular exercise; balanced diet\n\nthese suggestions are important to follow b/c any unhealthy activity will sabotage the diet supplements\n\nthe downfall behind the supplements is that as soon as you stop using them you gain the weight back, unless you have implemented a good exercise/eating plan;\n\nit's good if you consult a doctor or personal trainers on this, that way a professinal can assess whether you need those pills or not; those pills can be addictive and only people who are overweight by 60 pounds or more should use them, also adults over the age of 20 should use them, b/c by this time your body should have stop growing; they aren't intended for children/teens

there wont be any major side effects. it should increase your metabolism and supress your appetite while you take it. the problems is many people put the weight straight back on when they stop. constantly gaining and losing weight is bad for you. drink lots of water while you take it though.

Two tablespoons of vinegar with a cup of water before a meal is very good for weight loss\nvinegar could help to burn fat and loose weight. The acid brings the stomach to a better work and you burn fat. But be sure, that the vinegar is not taken before you have anything eaten. Do not take vinegar before your breakfast. \n\nApple cider vinegar in particular is often touted as a medical aid, from cancer prevention to alleviation of joint pain to weight loss\nApple cider vinegar (ACV) is a much more useful astringent than ice and will reduce inflammation, bruising and swelling in approximately a third of the time that ice will take. Application is directly onto the skin with a flannel, and left on for an hour or so.

Actually, according to Woman's World Magazine, the acid in vinegar is supposed to block an enzyme that aids in the digestion of bad carbohydrates. It is not supposed to be bad for you.\n\nThey had suggested using regular vinegar, sometimes the body is better at processing real food rather than food in pill form.

hi. It didnt work for me. I'm 26, 5'8 and weight 150. I took these pills for like 2 months and didnt lose any weight. It gave me headaches and nausea. Now I know it's better to exercise and eat right. Stop thinking about diet pills and work out!!

I have tried the one-a-day weight loss pills and I would have to say that they made me decide to never take diet pills again. I gained ten pounds on them, and I am a very athletic person. I had not gained weight in soo long that I cannot remember, until trying these. I was on them for a month or two (I cannot remember). I would not suggest them to anyone, unless you want to be trying to run off all of the fat you gained while using them. The only way to truely loose weight is good old fashion diet and exercise.

yes one of the complication is waigh gain\n\nWhat are the good points about the Pill?\n\nThe Pill has now been shown to have certain major health advantages:\n\n\nit abolishes period pain\n\n\nit makes periods shorter\n\n\nit makes them lighter.\n\n\nBecause of this, you are less likely to get anaemic.\n\nIf you have acne, the Pill should improve it.\n\nIn addition, it decreases your chances of getting certain cancers (though it increases the risk of others). Please see the section on cancer, below.\n\nBut can’t it give you a lot of side effects when you start? During the first few packs of the Pill, many women get minor, passing side effects, such as:\n\n\nheadaches\n\n\nnausea\n\n\nbreast tenderness\n\n\nslight weight gain\n\n\nslight ‘spotting’ of blood between the periods. \n\n\nThese side-effects usually go away after the first few packs. If they don’t, it’s very easy to get rid of them by simply switching to another brand of the 23 available brands of Pill.\n\n(For a full list of possible side-effects, see the package leaflet.)\n\nWhat about serious side-effects, like thrombosis?\n\nThere is no doubt at all that the Pill can occasionally cause serious problems like:\n\n\ndeep vein thrombosis (DVT) or clotting\n\n\nheart attacks \n\n\nstrokes.\n\n\nFortunately, these events are very rare. BUT ... they are much more likely to happen if you have certain ‘risk factors,’ which include:\n\n\nbeing a smoker \n\n\nhaving a bad family history of thrombosis or some similar illness (say, if your mother had a heart attack at 40)\n\n\nbeing severely overweight \n\n\nbeing diabetic (though quite a few non-smoking diabetics do use the Pill, under careful supervision)\n\n\nhaving high blood pressure \n\n\nhaving a high blood cholesterol level (hypercholesterolaemia) \n\n\na ‘past history’ of phlebitis (vein inflammation) or thrombophlebitis\n\n\nbeing immobile for a while (especially when having a surgical operation).\n\n\nThere are other ‘risk factors’ – for instance, making a very long journey in a plane or a cramped car seat. Your doctor or Family Planning nurse can give you more details.\n\n\nVaricose veins\n\nA lot of people (including some doctors) have the idea that ‘you can’t take the Pill if you have varicose veins'. This isn’t true. \n\nHowever, in recent years it has become clear that severe problems with varicose veins are a contraindication to the Pill. \n\nBut if you just have mild and superficial varicose veins, it is quite likely that your doctor will be willing to prescribe a low-dose Pill for you – provided that you have no other risk factors.\n\n\nMigraine\n\nIn 2004, new research showed that women who have severe migraine and who also use the Pill run an unacceptable risk of having a stroke.\n\nI’m not talking about people who have an occasional slight headache, like we all do. But if you have genuine migraine attacks – particularly migraines with ‘aura’ affecting your eyesight – then in my opinion you shouldn’t be on the Pill. \n\n\nDoes age make a difference?\n\nYes. The Pill is extraordinarily safe for young women in their teens or 20s who have no ‘risk factors’ (such as smoking). But when you get to the age of 35 or 40, the chances of having a thrombosis (clot) are starting to increase.\n\nIn practice, there are plenty of women of 40 who take the Pill. But as the years go by, there is more and more reason to switch to the mini-Pill, or to some other method of contraception, such as sterilisation and vasectomy for men. \n\nWhat about cancer?\n\n \nDid you know?\n\nThe Pill can increase the risk of some cancers and reduce the risk of others. Ask your doctor for advice. \n \n \nThe Pill does affect your risk of certain types of cancer, and when you first decide to go on it, you should be told about this. \n\nBut it’s important for you to realise that the Pill actually reduces your chances of getting some cancers – while it increases the risk of others.

Yes it is good! I have taken it in the past and lost pounds pretty fast. It does cause you to be jittery and it does effect people in different ways. I felt jittery and full of energy. My mom takes it and she just gets the extra boost of energy from it. proceed with caution when taking any diet pills

Didn't work well for me. Side effects - didn't really notice any. I was nauseated quite a bit though. Pro's vs Con's - most diet pills can work but only temporarily and they are not healthy for long term use. I had to make a change as I had to loose weight. I discovered that a natural and healthy approach is much better as I have tried all kinds of plans, diets, pills, etc (I'm 45). I just started a natural and healthy "No Diet Weight Loss" plan along with a healthy and natural high energy drink and I have lost 24 pounds and 2 3/4" in my waist in 31 days (Today being my 31st day on the plan) with 0 side effects - However, the choice is totally up to you and no one else
