Interesting to read,
This review is from: Lose Weight with Apple Vinegar: Get the Ideal Body the Easy Way: Using Powers of Apple Vinegar to Lose Weight with the Successful Four-Week Diet Progr (Health from Nature) (Paperback)
The apple cider vinegar diet plan claims to have helped thousands of Europeans shed unwanted pounds. My first thought was, why could we not just dilute the vinegar and drink it, or as I have seen lately, swallow apple cider vinegar pills.
After trying to drink diluted vinegar, I found that pills might be better. In fact, you may just want to use the vinegar in salad dressings. Maybe you could mix it with a fruit juice and a little stevia sweetener, either way, I did not find it to be very enjoyable to drink. Now if you can drink pickle juice, you might not mind it at all! You will find numerous suggestions for using apple cider vinegar. According to how much time you want to spend, there is a three-day, seven-day and four-week diet plan. There is some helpful information about vinegar. Acetic acid is the enemy of all bacteria and the book claims it will help to detoxify the kidneys and bladder. It is said to help re-balance the metabolism of the body and reduce fateful cravings for fattening foods. You can take the self-test to see if you should use this diet. One point I noticed to be interesting was that they said you should avoid sugar, yet they allowed the dieters quite a lot of alcohol consumption. I realized why the breakfast menu seems strange to some. In Europe, people do eat bread, cheese and meats for breakfast. An example of a breakfast menu suggested in this book would include: kiwi fruit, sheep cheese, olives, egg, and tofu sausages. Eating whole grain cereals is highly recommended. There are a few pages of exercise and relaxation techniques. I found the diet would be hard to follow unless you wrote out a diet plan on a sheet of paper and researched it more. I think the main emphasis was on adding more acetic acid to your diet. You could easily do this by making a salad with an apple cider vinegar dressing. If you do choose to buy this book, look for other books containing recipes using apple cider vinegar. I think the author is encouraging a lifestyle change and has not necessarily written a book of recipes. ~The Rebecca Review

Who wants to eat cucumbers and roast beef for breakfast?,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Lose Weight with Apple Vinegar: Get the Ideal Body the Easy Way: Using Powers of Apple Vinegar to Lose Weight with the Successful Four-Week Diet Progr (Health from Nature) (Paperback)
I found the recommended meals to be unrealistic, ie, cucumbers and roast beef for breakfast. Within the first few pages, directions were given to mix water, vinegar, and honey. That was the last mention of honey. Every other direction either eliminated the word "honey" or specifically said do not add honey. Perhaps it would work, as with any diet when you stop eatting carbohydrates and sweets. The book is not "reader friendly". It seems to jump from topic to topic. The grammer and spelling errors tended to make me lose confidence in the content.

Losing weight can be easy,
By Pat Hamilton (Dundee, Ohio USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lose Weight with Apple Vinegar: Get the Ideal Body the Easy Way: Using Powers of Apple Vinegar to Lose Weight with the Successful Four-Week Diet Progr (Health from Nature) (Paperback)
I bought Klaus Oberbeil's book Lose Weight with Apple Vinegar 3 years ago. It took me 1 year but I managed to lose 75 pounds without feeling hungry or deprived at all. I went off it for a while now am back on it again to lose the other 35 pounds I'd like to lose. I have bought 25 more books and gave them to customers of mine in my beauty salon who wanted to lose weight. It made such a difference in my life that they wanted to try it too. I've been on every diet made and nothing worked and kept the weight off. This is a miracle. Thank you so much for introducing me to vinegar. Pat Hamilton

It Has Worked for Me!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Lose Weight with Apple Vinegar: Get the Ideal Body the Easy Way: Using Powers of Apple Vinegar to Lose Weight with the Successful Four-Week Diet Progr (Health from Nature) (Paperback)
I can only speak for myself, but it did the trick for me. I first thought I would be eatings apples by the bushels, but that was not the case. My uncle, who never left Lisbon swears up and down that vinegar is what has kept him going, even at age 89.I have not only lost weight, but my blood pressure has dramatically decreased. Somehow apple vinegar help burn up calories - I do not understand how- I just know that it works for me!

Outstanding,

This review is from: Lose Weight with Apple Vinegar: Get the Ideal Body the Easy Way: Using Powers of Apple Vinegar to Lose Weight with the Successful Four-Week Diet Progr (Health from Nature) (Paperback)
A great read when it comes to health related books. Even I, who is lazy about eating correctly, can follow his instructions. I have always liked eating apples,being here in Rancine Wisconsin. It was not hard to follow his other suggestions knowing that he has had success in Europe. I am eagerly awaiting his new books.

Recipes were awful! There are much better vinegar books out there if you take a look. This one just isn't it.

Dear Harry, I would like to thank you for your gift on the occassion of my 30th birthday. You clown! I received the diet book written by Klaus Oberbeil and was really doubting our relationship until I realized that you really do love me and that you want me to look my best. Well, as you very well know, I have dropped 20 pounds in 4 months all due to reading the instructions in the book which encouraged me to ear properly and excercise more regulary. I cannot wait to see you again. You will notice that there is less of me to see more often! Thank you Bob and Klaus!

Highly Reasearched!,
By Pietro Maldini (Boston) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lose Weight with Apple Vinegar: Get the Ideal Body the Easy Way: Using Powers of Apple Vinegar to Lose Weight with the Successful Four-Week Diet Progr (Health from Nature) (Paperback)
I was fortunate to recently acquire this book from a learned professor of nutrition who found it within his good graces to purchase this book on the eve of my 40th birthday. He presented the book with a sneer, " Pietro you're obese and you don't listen to me, so try reading this." I figured that Samuel must have found this book worthwhile, beacause he is not give to utter laudatory remarks about the many diet books avaiable. I have followed the instructors of Klaus Oberbeil and it has helped not only my general health, but also my relationship with Sam.
