- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Great read. Look forward to trying the detox and using ACV for other benefits.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5I hated this book, annoying and frustrating book on a cleanse I have ever read. It goes on and on and on and on about the fast but never tells me, or I couldn't find the actual fast what the 7 day fasting is. No Table of Contents....where is the fast and how to do it each day. NOPE. I am happy I never bought the book. I FOUND THE FAST ON ANOTHER WEB SITE.

What Is the 7-Day Apple Cider Vinegar Cleanse?
A cleanse is a short-term diet that detoxifies the body, increases energy, and jump-starts weight loss. The Apple Cider Vinegar Cleanse accomplishes all three of these in just one week. The 7-Day ACV Cleanse involves consuming apple cider vinegar for six days, along with fasting with food,
and using the seventh day as a transition day to break the cleanse. Instead of abstaining from food completely, such as in a traditional fast or water fast, you eat small amounts of food in a way that produces the therapeutic benefits of fasting—increased fat burning, lower blood sugar levels, and reduced inflammation—without the hunger. The 7-Day ACV Cleanse menu is low in carbs and protein but higher in fat. Your body stays nourished while also gaining the benefits of fasting. Long-term fasting can be harmful, but this seven-day cleanse is safe and effective.
The 7-Day Apple Cider Vinegar Cleanse will:
Promote fat loss, both total body fat and body mass index (BMI)
Improve digestion and overall gut health
Decrease visceral fat—the fat around the waist and vital organs
Help reverse diabetes as well as lower the risk of diabetes and insulin resistance by decreasing blood sugar levels
Reduce inflammation by decreasing several inflammatory markers
Decrease blood pressure and improve the health of your heart
Lower cholesterol as you consume more foods high in heart-healthy fats
Improve immune system function, a benefit of fasting for as little as four days
By combining fasting with food
and ACV consumption, you will melt away body fat in the shortest possible time. We will take a closer look at both apple cider vinegar and fasting with food below.
APPLE CIDER VINEGAR
Apple cider vinegar comes from apples that have been crushed, distilled, and then fermented. The second stage of fermentation involves adding bacteria to convert the alcohol into vinegar. When the vinegar is mature, it will contain a cloudy substance called the mother.
The mother consists of dozens of strains of good bacteria. It also contains enzymes, which are essential for breaking down foods so that your body can use their nutrients. The concentrated bacteria and enzymes from the mother give ACV its antifungal, antiviral, and antibacterial properties, which help in healing the body.
Acetic acid makes up about 5 to 6 percent of apple cider vinegar. Although this is considered a relatively weak acid, it does have fairly strong acidic properties when concentrated. Apple cider vinegar also contains trace amounts of other acids, fiber, vitamins, and minerals.
Apple cider vinegar has been used for thousands of years for everything from soothing a sore throat to burning fat and improving blood sugar levels. Supported by scientific research, modern studies show that there are, indeed, numerous health benefits of apple cider vinegar.
The History of Apple Cider Vinegar
As noted above, the benefits of apple cider vinegar have been recognized for millennia. In both the American Civil War and World War I, apple cider vinegar was used to treat the wounds of soldiers on the battlefield. It has also been reported that Japanese samurai would drink it for strength, vitality, and power. Sometimes it’s even used as a household cleaning product—where it’s valued for its antibacterial qualities.
Modern science has provided plenty of evidence of apple cider vinegar’s health benefits. In 2012, a Dutch study found that women in one North African culture who consumed a cup of apple cider vinegar daily achieved greater weight loss than women of that culture who did not.
The Bioscience, Biotechnology, and Biochemistry journal cited a Japanese study from 2014 that found the acetic acid in apple cider vinegar reduces body weight, body fat mass, and serum triglyceride levels, thereby reducing the risk for atherosclerosis in obese individuals. According to this study, adding one to two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar to your daily diet can help you lose more weight. The study also showed that drinking apple cider vinegar can reduce your body fat percentage, namely belly fat, in addition to lowering triglycerides.
A 2015 study demonstrated that apple cider vinegar consumption in patients with type 2 diabetes improved blood sugar control, and reduced insulin levels and high triglyceride levels. The acetic acid in ACV may promote fat burning, decrease blood sugar, and improve cholesterol levels.
How Apple Cider Vinegar Helps with Weight Loss
Acetic acid is apple cider vinegar’s main active component. Multiple studies show that it has a favorable impact on weight loss in the following ways:
Lowers blood sugar. A study by Carol Johnston, PhD, at Arizona State University showed that drinking vinegar before eating actually led to a decrease in change of blood glucose post meals.
This means that drinking apple cider vinegar before a high-carb meal can reduce blood sugar levels that typically occur after eating.
Helps you feel full longer. A Swedish study found that when participants consumed apple cider vinegar with a meal, they reported feeling a higher level of satiety after eating than those who did not consume the vinegar. A higher level of satiety will prevent overeating and late-night snacking.
Reduces body fat. A Japanese study was done showing that continuous apple cider vinegar intake reduces body weight, BMI, and body fat mass. This provides evidence of its ability to help prevent fat storage in the body.
Decreases insulin levels. A study in the American Diabetes Association journal showed that consuming apple cider vinegar with a high-carb meal may improve insulin sensitivity after the meal, which helps to reduce fat storage in the body. This is especially beneficial to those who are insulin-resistant or those who have type 2 diabetes.
Improves metabolism. A study done on rats showed that acetic acid caused an increase in the enzyme AMPK, which boosts one’s metabolism by decreasing fat and sugar production in the liver.
Diminishes appetite. Research done in the UK showed that acetic acid is a natural appetite suppressant because it keeps our blood sugar levels steady, which minimizes cravings for sugar, carbs, and sweets.
While apple cider vinegar has a positive impact on weight loss, the aforementioned studies show that it is most effective when combined with other fasting methods, as discussed later in this chapter.
Selecting an Apple Cider Vinegar
You want to buy organic, raw, unfiltered apple cider vinegar containing the mother (its presence should be indicated on the label). The mother gives the vinegar a cloudy look, but do not be alarmed—this ensures that the nutritional benefits are intact.
One popular brand is Bragg Organic Apple Cider Vinegar, but my personal preference is White House.
How to Use Apple Cider Vinegar
Research shows that drinking one or two tablespoons of ACV in a glass of water at bedtime or before meals aids in weight loss. When acetic acid is in the gut, fat remains in the gut for a shorter period of time. The acid also blocks enzymes that break down starchy foods, which keep the fats and starches from being absorbed into the body.
Ideally, dieters focused on losing weight, especially belly fat, should ingest about three tablespoons of ACV per day in total—a tablespoon before each meal, or two tablespoons in the morning and a tablespoon at bedtime. Taking it at bedtime will help lower blood sugar by morning, which leads to reduced fat storage in the body.
Important Warnings about Apple Cider Vinegar
Always dilute apple cider vinegar before consuming it, as it is highly acidic. If it is not diluted, it can burn the tissues in your mouth and throat, damaging your tooth enamel and stomach
