Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) and weight loss health benefits have been a topic of conversation for decades. This is a completely natural way to shed pounds and is a tried and true home remedy that is used all over the globe. ACV stimulates the metabolism and cleansing of the internal organs. It is also very powerful in helping release stored fat cells. ACV is a completely natural product, resulting from the fermentation of apple juice to hard apple cider followed by a second fermentation to apple cider vinegar. However, make sure you use Raw Organic Apple Cider Vinegar. Many commercial products have been pasteurized, filtered, refined or distilled in order to make the product more appealing to the general public. These extra processing steps destroy many of the vitamins, nutrients and fermentation products that are thought to be important elements in apple cider vinegar’s health benefits and weight loss properties. Mix one tablespoon of ACV diluted in water before each meal. Some don’t like the taste, so you can mix with Stevia or a little lemon juice. Use ACV as your liquid while cooking or sprinkle over your vegetables and salads.

This is a great hCG diet friendly treat to have on a hot summer day…
To create this tasty treat, you’ll want to grab:
-A handful of strawberries
-4 cups of ice
-Desired amount of Vanilla Stevia
Throw all of these ingredients into a blender and mix it until the ice is good and crushed. You can decide if you need more Vanilla Stevia after you taste it. (I like to use just a little bit and it does foam some, so add a little at a time).
Enjoy!
