Apple Cider Vinegar to Help Lose Weight

The October 2009 issue of Prevention Magazine mentioned vinegar to be an ingredient to help lower body weight and fat.  Here is what the article says:

The primary substance that gives ordinary vinegar its sour taste and strong odor may fight fat, suggests new research preseneted at a recent meeting of the Japanese Society of Nutrition and Food Science.  In a study of 175 overweight Japanese men and women, those who consumed a drink containing either 1 or 2 tablespooons of apple cider vinegar daily for 12 weeks had significantly lower body weight, BMI, visceral fat, and waist circumference than the control group that didn't consume any vinegar.  Researchers credit vinegar's acetic acid, which may switch on genes that pump out proteins and break down fat.

So with that being said, does consuming apple cider vinegar everyday for 12 weeks actually help lose weight?  Well, I'll put it to the test.  Starting today I will consume 1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar everyday.  I will continue to eat how I eat and exercise how I exercise.  I will weigh in each week to see if there are any changes.  Lets see how it goes!
