Weight loss is never linear, but one thing that I always try to incorporate into my diet is this apple cider vinegar drink. It’s super easy to make as well.

How to Make an Apple Cider Vinegar Weight Loss Drink

Combine the ingredients. Add freshly cold pressed pineapple juice into a glass with apple cider vinegar and your choice of either honey or liquid stevia to taste. I like liquid stevia because I only need to add a bit of it.
Serve. Serve immediately, over ice if desired.

Apple Cider Vinegar Benefits for Weight Loss

The reason why this drink recipe works so well is because of how the apple cider vinegar provides a couple of subtle but effective weight loss benefits:

Curbed appetite – Vinegar is widely known to help as an appetite suppressant and apple cider vinegar is no exception. This vinegar drink can help to curb your appetite, which can in turn help to prevent binge eating. (1)
Low GI – Apple cider vinegar is low on the glycemic index, which makes it great for helping with your weight loss efforts. Low GI foods like vinegar help to minimize blood sugar spikes and keep insulin levels stable. (2)

Dilute it more by increasing the amount of pineapple juice used or by mixing in a bit of water.

Apple cider vinegar tends to have a milder taste compared to the intense, acidic taste of regular vinegar.
