Vinegar for Fat Loss

There has been a lot of talk about Vinegar contributing to fat loss. There does not seem to be any concrete evidence or certainty behind these recent ideas, but there seems to be one study that is often quoted both around the net and in many magazines.

There is a study finding that two tablespoons per day of Vinegar consumed by obese people helped them lose an average of 5 percent more tummy fat than those who did not consume the vinegar. The study is by Tommoo Kondo, a researcher at Mizkan Group Corporation in Japan and it states that Acetic acid, which is the main ingredient of vinegar helps reduce body fat by stimulating oxidation of fat in the liver. That’s an interesting thought. This would suggest that your next salad could be more powerful than normal if you switch dressings. Switch from using creamy dressings to using lighter dressing and increase your salad’s fat burning potential.

I personally hated vinegar as a kid, but now I use it with everything, making a variety of different types of dressings. I use White Wine Vinegar, Apple Cider Vinegar, Distilled Vinegar or even Balsamic to create variety in my salads and keep my palate in ecstasy. Be careful that you do not use too much oil with your vinegar. A tablespoon of olive oil should suffice for most salads or buy a salad sprayer and sprits your salad. Vinegar can also be used to make a marinade or as a meat tenderizer.
