Furthermore, individuals were put on a limited 250kcal/day ACV diet in an experiment conducted by the Journal of Functional Foods. After 12 weeks, each patient reported an improvement in body weight, hip circumference, and BMI.
Similar findings were found in another study published in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition. Because of the acetic acid content, individuals felt fuller after an ACV lunch. According to a Japanese study, a 12-week dietary exposure to ACV reduced decreased visceral fat and triglyceride levels in obese subjects.
