What I've Been Eating on My Weightloss Journey

I wanted to make a blog post of some pictures of my foods that I have been eating this time on my reattempt to get this weight off. I have posted most of these on my Instagram account (you can find me on there by searching for @MissVeronyka) but I wanted to also post them here for those who do not have instagram and also since I am keeping a record of my weightloss on here. Keep in mind that this is not all I have been eating but it is the vast majority of the types of foods I have been eating. I will just mix them up and switch around meals but for the most part these are the types of foods I have been sticking with. If you would like to know more about what I have been doing so far you can watch my video on my youtube channel at this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYjqSrZ8Yns

Benefits of Apple Cider Vinegar

As you all know I did a blog post a month or so back talking about apple cider vinegar and me entertaining the idea of actually taking it to aid in weightloss. I have not taken it yet, I have been still researching the pros and cons if infact there were any. I really feel that I will be taking it. After researching it for months now the only major negative side effect I can find on it is that drinking undiluted apple cider vinegar can damage the lining of your esophagus. I however, will be diluting it into 10 ounces of water so that shouldn't be an issue. I am not sure exactly when I am going to start taking it, more than likely it will be this weekend. I will be sure to let you all know more specifics on how I take it after I have done it a few times. In the meantime I found this interesting graphic online that lists some of the benefits of taking apple cider vinegar and the positive changes that can occur with your body. Thought I would share it with all of you.

Until next time, stay beautiful inside as well as out!

Apple Cider Vinegar for Weightloss?

Okay so I have heard about this alot over the past year, I even went and bought a bottle but have yet to get brave enough to try it. Today I watched a video by PlusSizeKimonica, I recommend you check her out, she is amazing. She was talking about her apple cider vinegar pills she was taking and how they have pretty much killed her appetite and helped big time with her cravings. I have been doing some research on it and not only is apple cider vinegar used for weight loss but is is also has many many other health benefits! Lowering blood sugar and the bad cholesterol, removing toxins from your body, getting rid of heartburn, fighting cancer and much more! I will link a couple articles at the bottom of this post that will tell you more about it. It really sounds like an amazing thing to be taking on a daily basis.

So let's get back to the weight loss part of it. So how does this work? Well, studies have claimed that it helps balance the body's PH level and helps to speed up your metabolism. Your supposed to take two teaspoons added to one 16 ounce glass of water 3 times a day, an hour before each meal. Alot of people are claiming it works and one man even claimed he has lost 17 pounds in three weeks. Now I know that everyone is different and our bodies react to things differently but if I could loose just half of what he lost in that time I would be a happy girl..lol I really do think that in the morning before breakfast, I'm going to try it. I know it's going to taste pretty bad but people also claim that after a few weeks your body gets adjusted to it and it starts tasting like apple juice, that's hard for me to believe but ya never know unless you have tried right? I will be keeping you all updated here on my blog and social cam channel if I try it and continue to use it. Let me know in the comments under this post if you have tried it and what your experiences were with it.
