A feeling of appetite often comes suddenly, making it difficult for many people to stick to weight loss plans. However, a simple, easy-to-implement solution from Harvard Health Publishing that many experts are recommending is to use apple cider vinegar.
According to Dr. Megan Rossi, a nutritionist at Kings College London, the acetic acid in apple cider vinegar helps slow down the emptying speed, creating a feeling of fullness for longer and limiting the amount of calories consumed in meals.
How to use it effectively
Preparing ingredients
1 tablespoon (15 ml) pure, unmixed apple cider vinegar.
200 ml of warm water (40-45 °C).
Implementation
Blend the apple cider vinegar into water, stir gently.
Drink it all about 30 minutes before main meals to " Warn" the body of impending hunger and secrete leptin - the hormone that regulates satiety.
Frequency
Take it 1-2 times a day, before lunch and/or dinner.
Do not abuse more than 2 tablespoons per day to avoid affecting tooth enamel and stomach.
Scientific benefits

Support digestion: Acetic acid stimulates the production of digestive enzymes, helping food to metabolize more slowly and regularly.
