How using ACV for 2 weeks helped me break my Keto stall.

FYI, this post is directed to those who are familiar with the Keto Diet and how it works.

If you are not familiar with the keto diet, I suggest reading this keto for beginners post.

Keto is crazy effective in helping to lose weight, A Keto Stall, is when the steady weight-loss gets stalled, and nothing seems to move that scale.

Keto Helped Me Lose Weight

The older I get, the harder it is to lose weight.

After my third baby I could not make the scale budge for almost 2 years, despite staying away from wheat (for me) and dairy (for my baby’s tummy).

I finally tried Keto, and I lost 20 lbs in the following 2 months. Yay!

But then came Thanksgiving, followed by a funeral, then an entire month of Holiday activities… and finally in January, there were birthday parties and a theme park family reunion.

So. . . I did the best I could. But honestly, I had felt so good about the 20 lbs, that I felt like I could take some breaks.

If it was a normal day, I’d make it a Keto day.

However, if there were any temptations, I’d give in.

Some people call this ‘Carb Cycling’. Apparently Carb Cycling doesn’t work for me at all. Which is too bad, because I would love some guiltless cheat days.

So it’s pretty understandable why i have been stuck in a keto stall for 6 months. (not losing weight)

So what did that mean for my weight loss?

By the end of February, I was the same weight as I was before Thanksgiving. So I broke even. Not bad considering I got through the HOLIDAYS!!!!

But now the “BIG EVENT” is coming soon.

A WEDDING!

Not mine of course, that happened a long time ago, but a sibling’s wedding. Which means lots of pictures. So I need to hunker down and slim up.

At the beginning of this month, after another weekend getaway, I was up 5 pounds. And now I need to move past that 157 pound mark, which was the lowest I had gotten in the past 3 years.

I started at 164. This time around, I started using Apple-Cider Vinegar every day, along with the Keto diet.

I recorded my weight each day:

164.2 May 16 2018

162.8 May 17 2018.

160.0 May 18 2018.

158.2 May 19 2018.

157.2 May 20 2018.

156.2 May 21 2018.

156.0 May 22 2018.

157.6 May 22 2018.

158.2 May 24 2018.

157.2 May 25 2018.

156.8 May 26 2018.

157.6 May 27 2018.

157.4 May 28 2018.

157.2 May 29 2018

158.8 (1st day of period) May 30 2018.

After 2 weeks I was down 6 lbs! And my belly went from 43 inches to 39. That’s 4 inches in 2 weeks!

As you can see, my weight went down pretty fast, and fairly steadily. I even got down 1 pound lower than my previous lowest. I broke the Keto Stall. YAY!

Taking ACV by itself did nothing for my weight loss, (see the results of our 2 week challenge here) but combining it with Keto seems to be the golden ticket to breaking that keto stall! 

After the 2 week challenge, I have continued to take ACV, and after another week my weight has dipped for a moment to 154!!!

If you want to try taking ACV for 2 weeks to see if it helps, download this free printable and keep it on your fridge!

You should notice that my weight fluctuated from day to day. This is normal for everyone. What I love is that the highest it ever got back up to was 158. Still lower than the 164 it was at the beginning.

So yeah, I’d say the keto stall was broken.

And with any luck I won’t ever see the 160’s again!

And, lest you think that it’s some crazy concoction, here’s what I do:

How to take Apple-Cider Vinegar: 1 tsp to 2 cups of water. Drink in the morning. Make drink again, sip throughout the day. And take one more set at night, right before or after dinner.

All in all that’s 6 cups of water, to 3 tsps of apple-cider vinegar. Pretty easy, and in my opinion, it dilutes the ACV enough that it’s actually a bit refreshing!

How about you? Anyone else combine ACV with Keto? 

Update: I finished my bottle of Apple Cider Vinegar, And am half way through another one.

I continued to take apple cider vinegar each morning, and sips throughout the day.

And I got used to taking it, that the drink was even satisfying to me by the end.

I don’t have the most stable blood sugar, and whenever I felt it dip, I took a big gulp of apple cider vinegar water, and it cleared right up enough for me to get the food I needed.

I love this stuff. it’s just a good thing to take in general, even if it’s not helping with weight loss
