Isn't vinegar bad for your teeth.

---

grapefruit

---

as long as you mix it with water and drink it with a straw you’re fine

---

Yes, because it's raw potent, but smart people will put it into Water.

---

I do one tablespoon in 8 ounces of water and then I chase it with more water. Have not had any problems with my teeth.

---

to mix with 6-8oz of water and drink with a straw to avoid contact with teeth.

I use Organic Extra virgin olive oil, Dark bottle. I also do a lemon water with pinch of Himalayan pink salt. I dropped over 25 lbs in the last month. I do 16 hours fasting and 8 hours eating window period. Find extra virgin olive oil is much easier to take than apple cider vinegar. The higher the polyphenols the better. Apple cider vinegar has no polyphenols. And I'm 62. No more Processed foods. 1 ingredient only. Plus 85% Dark Chocolate.

Answer 2

Vinegar prevents fat cells from expanding and impedes the body's ability to make new fat cells.

Answer 3

I am 63 years old and weigh the same as I did in college. I only eat what I cook every day from scratch; no processed foods. I eat twice a day, and my last meal is in the late afternoon. I exercise 4/5 times a week, running and weight lifting. I weigh myself every day, and I know many people consider this crazy, but it is the best way to keep my weight on track. When I gain a few pounds, I do a fruit fast for a day or two with low glycemic fruits. I do not consume alcohol or refined carbohydrates. Sometimes pasta or basmati rice. It sounds like a monk's life, but it works for me.

I’m 100% with you, Carolina! I’m 73, run every day as I have for 45 years, am a vegan for 40 years, 2 meals per day after intermittent fasting every day with the first meal around noon. I battle hypothyroidism, a lifelong eating disorder, read voraciously on all things health. If we just go back to the original plan of the first humans, a totally vegan diet, we would be healthier, happier and enjoy a full healthspan.

I am in my 60's. I also eat 2 meals per day. Finish eating at 5 p.m. but I eat mostly beef, eggs, bacon, and high protein foods. I focus on food with high protein, next I pick Fiber Foods. Carbs may get in there with my Fiber Foods but I don't focus on it. Same weight, for 45 years (same clothes too, they come back in fashion you know).

Answer 4

Apple cider vinegar

Answer 5

Dr Li thanks for making these contents and putting up with the not so smart podcasters to help everyone. You are the real deal and I appreciate your work.

Answer 6

Hello Dr. Li- Thank you for this helpful content. I agree regarding fast eating. Mom always said to chew my food and slow down. I am post surgical and cannot do fasting. That said, I do not eat as soon as I get up. I have a cup of tea, take a shower and wake up. Then my gastro- surgeon wants me to eat small meals up to six times a day. My GI dietitian dictates my portions and % of fats/carbs/ proteins/ fiber. I want to lose 20lbs mindfully and she is helping me overall. I am on a modified Mediterranean post- gallbladder/pancreas diet. I bought your book " Eat to Beat your Diet." I enjoy many of your recipes.I lost my grehlin ( hunger) hormone  and the one that says you are full after surgery. I am out there swinging in the breeze. We are working to get that back. Keep making these helpful contents and books. ~ Diane.

Answer 7

Thanks for the vinegar tip. Appreciate it.

Answer 8

I started gaining weight rapidly after menopause. I have been doing the intermittent fasting for 2 years and haven't lost any weight. Although I stopped gaining. I am built just like my grandmother and she kept gaining and ended up with diabetes. My A1C is low so maybe the fasting is helping in that regard.

Comments

Hello from our New Hampshire farm- I would like to start by saying I like tuning in to William Li. I have his book, "Eat to Beat your Diet". I consider his books to be helpful tools in my health journey, however I am working with my PCP, my GI dietitian and my GI surgeon to get my health on track. I have 20+ lbs to lose and they want me to do it slowly as not to stress my liver. I had a septic gallbladder that severely inflamed my liver and pancreas. So, yes, I am eating to keep my pancreas happy. I am not diabetic, but I get your point. I am post menopausal and I understand it can be a challenge to lose weight. I strongly suggest that you talk to your PCP about this. Mine is wonderful and works with me. My dietitian is customizing my diet to have the correct % of fats/carb/ proteins/fiber. I do Hatha Yoga for stretching, breathing, meditation and to reset my vagus nerve, which was affected after I had 4 surgeries in 11 months. Now I need to eat healthy " allowed " foods and get out there and walk. I ride my exercise bike in front of the TV '-). Oh, I am not allowed to intermittent fast, as I have bile issues and have to eat three small meals a day plus two small snacks and hydrate. It is working for me slowly/mindfully. I wish you the best. Please consider getting some medical help and support. ~ Diane

Answer 9

I tried swallowing straight ACV and it caused damage to my esophagus! Perhaps some people can do that, but it caused a couple of weeks of being unwell for me. I tried diluting it with water, which worked better but was painful in my gut. I can drink it, 2 tablespoons to 12 oz of water, and NOT on an empty stomach, without pain. It does seem to help.

Answer 10

I’m truly sick of being fat.I gained a large amount during the pandemic,killed myself getting most of off,got depressed,and put it all back on plus.I want to get off of this stupid ride so badly.
I’ve got a closet full of beautiful size 6/8 clothing that I cannot accept I will have to give away and donate…no no no no!Why is this so damn hard?
I’m about ready to shoulder the financial burden of Ozempic,even though I know that it’s not the healthiest way to go, just to not be fat any longer.

Go keto and intermittent fasting I lost 100lbs in 5 months, and it was easy.

Read Dr. Berg's content on keto diet and intermittent fasting. Will help you to lose weight. Do the healthy version of keto diet.

Everyone has a different metabolism and genetic background. I finally lost weight when I reduced carbs down to below 60 grams/day. I lost 6 lbs in 2 weeks and still going down. Eat all the protein and fat you want and limit the carbs. I don't miss the french fries and pizza. And if you do miss these foods, when the pill form of Ozempic comes out it will be substantially cheaper and may even soon be prescribed by your doctor as studies are showing that there are many positive effects to your health when taking Ozempic.

Answer 12

Answer 13

Thank you for your simple understandable content! I'm navigating cancer through diet and appreciate the correlation with studies in healthy foods. I do keep a daily food diary and find I don't get enough protein because I'm plant based, but reading this I believe I need to add some animal protein.
