3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting to read, August 19, 2000

By	Rebecca Johnson "SeasonedwithLove.com" (Washington State) - See all my reviews (TOP 10 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)    (COMMUNITY FORUM 04)

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.

1.0 out of 5 stars Who wants to eat cucumbers and roast beef for breakfast?, August 4, 1999

By A Customer

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Losing weight can be easy, January 3, 2004

By	Pat Hamilton (Dundee, Ohio USA) - See all my reviews

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
