Don't remember exactly how i came across the benefits of apple cider vinegar, but i like what i am seeing about it. Here's just one page i was looking at for things it says it does: http://www.mindbodygreen.com/0-5875/15-Reasons-to-Use-Apple-Cider-Vinegar-Every-Day.html
I took a few pictures so that i can have some before pictures for this testing and also just because i want to lose weight anyways and i've gained weight since my last "before" pictures....haven't been good on the weight loss. at the end of this will be the pictures for my befores
What i was thinking i'd do is that i'll go by each benefit that it says it will help and write how i am on them to see if after a week there's any differences after just one week. I've seen people say that since they started that after a week they lost around 10 pounds or something. Well none of them have said how much of their life style they have changed, whether they started to eat better or exercise or just went as normal. Which my normal is pretty lazy.
There are uses that it can be used for that i'm not going to do, such as for your hair, i might try the toner at some point, but not this week. What i will be doing will be 2 teaspoons of it in a glass of water before each meal. I think some do more at once but i'm expecting the taste to be strong and until i experiment with how to make it, i think multiple times a day with smaller amounts might be easier. I am kind of expecting myself to just push myself through it to really try this without giving up.
I will try to remember to write a daily post about how the drinking it is going.
Here's my currents:
Weight:
current- 185 pounds.
What i hope for- If this really does help with weight loss, really anything lost would be amazing, if it does help, maybe it will get my butt going to keep up with losing weight.
Energy:
Current- Not a lot of energy. I think it's partly from weight too but i also haven't been sleeping well
What i hope for- It says that it helps with energy boosts, so i'm hoping that it actually does and makes it easier for me to get up in the morning. To help test this, i'm going to start waking up earlier than normal so that i'll be tired when i drink the first glass each morning.
Allergies:
Current: i have seasonal allergies that become a pain in spring and summer. I will get hit randomly with feeling extremely drowsy and runny nose and just not feeling up for anything.
What i hope for- i don't really know what to hope for on this. i think just as long as i don't get allergy hits as much or not at all besides the occasional sneezes then i will love that.
Poor memory/sugar craving:
Current- well i'm not sure on if this will really help it, but the page i linked above says that ACV helps clear out yeast from your body and that a build up of it can lead to poor memory and sugar craving, few other things but those two stood out for me. I have crap memory and forget little things all the time. And i'm always looking to snack on things which really is probably just searching for sugar.
What i hope for- well really any improvements would be great. not sure if i'll really be able to judge memory on just testing it for a week, but will see.
Number 2:
Current- This one is about the bathroom. since having my daughter, been having problems with going. The doctor said just more fiber would help, which it did seem to help but i don't eat enough all the time to help all the time. I will get bad cramps before needing to find a bathroom fast. it's not all the time, but i feel like dying when it happens.
What i hope for- if it really helps make you regular, then that will be amazing.
Acne:
current- I've been getting a bunch of stress pimples and ones just because of not always getting a chance to wash my face when i need to. Also got a bunch on my arms and back and chest. drinking ACV is suppose to help with getting rid of them, if i did the toner version too says it should help with scars.
What i hope for- just to get back to a fairly clear skin like i had a few months ago, i think it was a few months ago lol.
I think that's all on the befores, if i forgot anything i will write later...it's getting late and i'm tired lol.
Before i forget, here's my pictures and with my measurements, don't really expect any measurements to change in a week, but doing it also for just my knowledge. And if there's actual benefits i see from drinking this, then i will be drinking longer than just a week.
Might need to click the pictures if you really want to see the numbers. and sorry if you can't see them even after clicking lol. Just ask if really curious.
Those pictures just put me in a state of "i can't believe i let myself get here". Not going to go into my whole weight story, maybe if i reach my goal weight i will.
Anyways, i should be off to bed if i want to get up earlier than normal to start this little experiment :)
