Has anyone experimented or use vinegar as a kind of supplement in their diets? I was doing some research on it and was wondering if it might be worth a try.

Thanks.

vinegar is good to use to lower the glycemic load of a high carb meal. that's all I use it for

It aids in gastric emptying and it serves as a partioning aid for muscular glucose disposal. Kind of like how ALA works.

Is this also true for other acidic stuff? e.g. lemon, lime..etc

Definately. Lemon juice is great to add to a salad as well.

All acids will decrease the glycaemic index of a meal but it is a particular to a type of acid (acetic) in the vinegar (which is also in lemon juice) that has the other effects [the increased nutrient partitioning (it aids in insulin sensitivity) and it also increases leptin levels and sensitivity].

I understood that it shunts depletion of glycogen in muscle requiring the body to utilize fat as an energy source, is this correct?

Is there any suggested ratio of acetic acid to the food consumed or use as much one can tolerate/likes?

I use ACV and red wine vinegar on salads all the time.

I would have to double check, but I believe that for the glucose disposal effects it is suggested you take 1 tbs of vinegar and 1 tbs lemon juice with/before each carbohydrate meal...

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but does this mean that it would be good post wo as well? If it aids muscular glucose dispersion it seems like you would want that after a workout when you are taking in carbs, but if it lowers the glycemic load wouldn't that be the opposite of what you want (an insulin spike)?

Thanks,
Luke
