A question for vets. Apple Cider Vinegar.
2. Green Tea -
hahaha I have a friend who is an RN and she is always getting into the latest fad diets. She was over for dinner one night and going on and on about this Green Tea supplement she was trying - a one month supply was only $80 and she was so excited... I opened my refrigerator to show her the one gallon jug of green iced tea (Stash brand, Green Chai Tea) and explained that I drink green tea instead of water because it tastes better (I add stevia for sweetness). I said if THIS (motioning to my own larger body) is your goal, you're on the right track!"
Sorry, just had to share! I still drink Green tea like it's my job, but mostly because I just like the taste :)

I love it!
BTW, I drink the same brand of green tea. It's my favorite -- also with liquid stevia. I also like a season peppermint green tea by Celestial Seasonings -- it has a slight hint of vanilla, too.
I've been drinking green tea for a long time -- and i wouldn't have been a good advertising spokesperson for most of it!!

So I love the taste of vinegar but I hate reflux. I don't have it often but that's an important thing to consider for sure.

Awwww! What in the world are you going on about? Why wouldn't you be included in a conversation. I think (almost) all people add value to a conversation, no matter if they agree, disagree, debate, discuss. It's those who are intentional hurtful, name call, etc. that have little place in MY world.

To answer your question. I am a vet. ACV does nothing for me. When I am trying to lose weight and have to go low carb, I have to PLAN. I mean really plan. When I'm sitting at home, watching TV, playing on my ipad....what am I going to eat.
I find the following g helps with my sweet cravings:
Low carb ice cream.
Sugar free ice pops (the sugar alcohol though can be a killer!)
Sugar free drinks (I like the sugar free orange CRUSH packets. OMG SO GOOD)
Atkins bars (chocolate peanut butter...mmmmmmm mmmmmm mmmmm)
I personally find cole slaw very sweet. I like to eat it with a burger patty.
I know someone mentioned cabbage soup. BUT i do find cabbage soup to really help with "cravings". Again, I find most cabbage dishes to be a bit sweet.
Hope this was helpful!
