Bragg is the brand I bought at the local grocery store. Do y'all drink it 3 times a day?

I messed up my first drink and put in 2 tablespoons I did the teaspoons today. I may try for another tonight. I'm also going to give the honey a try, since everything will be blooming before too long.

Alright the moment of truth started the Bragg brand ACV last Thursday - down 4.5 pounds as of this morning!!!
I deliberately tried to maintain my same eating pattern and we went out Friday, Saturday and Sunday...did not avoid carbs but only ate a few bits of any bread I came across. Still freaking unbelievable all the changes that have occurred. |

How possible/impossible will it be for me to build more upper body muscle mass with no access to weights? I have this $100 POS: And some push-up bars. Allegedly, on the steepest incline and using all 4 resistance bands, the Weider POS is giving me 55% of my body weight + 50 lbs. I find it hard to believe that I was able to biceps curl 160 lbs, 80 lbs per arm, 23 times in a set. I ain't that ripped. At any rate, I'm maxed out on the settings, losing weight is only going to make it worse, and I'm already at 20+ reps for curls, bench press (which is really more of an inclined press given your body angle I guess) and seated rows. Only pull-ups give me challenged. I do a set lying on my back with arms wide, and a set lying on my chest gripping the inner bars with my fists. If I just keeping doing more reps am I just going to be burning calories and not increasing muscle mass??? I'm going to replace bench press with push-ups I think since push-ups using the push up bars and touching my chin to the carpet are actually challenging vs. the bench press on that thing. Is there anything I can do for my biceps short of spending $$$$ I don't have on dumbells??? Because sadly I can't do that. Also door frames are a no-go for those door frame pull-up bars. Also, I was working out 2.5 times per week. On, off, off, On, off, off, On ... etc. I was doing 5 exercises, 3 sets: 1. Curls 2. Bench Press 3. Close-Grip Pull-Ups 4. Seated Rows 5. Wide-Grip Pull-Ups And doing max reps each time, so that my reps decreased in the second and third sets as my muscles tired and I couldn't do as many. Is this the right way to go, or should I go with a lesser number of reps at first and shoot for a number that I can sustain through all 3 sets? Would you recommend going to 3 set days a week instead of the on, off, off pattern giving me 2.5 on average? Finally, nutrition. I am losing weight now and I want to lose FAST, so I've set a calorie deficit of ~800 to 1000lbs as max maximum daily allowance at 1600. I'm shooting for and have averaged so far a 1400 calorie average. My carbs are moderately low, averaging 60g per day and around 24g sugar. Haven't been checking but I'm sure my fiber is good. I get a good chunk of my carbs from fiber one bars, and I also take a citrucel pill every AM anyway. While I'm eating so few calories, should I not work out as hard/much? Or keep doing what I was since it wasn't exactly extreme? What is your opinion on creatine for someone like me? I have these pills: They allege no water-weight retention. Didn't seem to notice any when taking them and I seemed to recover really well. Should I keep popping them pre-workout or just forget them? My post-workout recovery drink is MetRX low carb protein powder + almond milk. Good??? Cliff Notes: I am poor and stuck at home with a child help me get sexy biceps and a decent looking chest and back for free. |

I ran 4.21 miles tonight. Skipped the cake an ice cream at work. It looked awesome, but I have had too many cake and ice cream days without paying the fiddler. |

Edit: Did a quick google search. ACV with mother is naturally gluten free. But even better...a lot of people (with Celiac Disease) are talking (on various forums, etc.) about how much it has benefited them. |

Thanks! I drank 1 yesterday morning and I'm drinking 1 now. I hate to admit this but I have already been dieting for over 3 weeks and I have only lost 1 freakin' pound. It's very discouraging.

Kroger Caramel flavored and Apple Cinnamon flavored rice cakes are AWESOME. I don't remember rice cakes being any good. Have they significantly advanced rice cake technology over the last decade or are my taste-buds just changed??? Also bought some Fifty-50 Crunch bars and wafer cookies. Binged on 2 servings (16 cakes) of rice cakes last night @ 9pm and one square of a Fifty-50 Crunch bar. 140 calories in all, still 60 calories less (and a ton less sugar) than one of those snicker doodle cookies that had been taunting me. I have no desire for one now. The rice cakes satisfy the urge and are guilt free. Already budgeted some into today's menu. Woke up almost another lb lighter at 213.8 lbs this AM. |

OK- you guys have convinced me. Bought a bottle of ACV and a jar of raw honey at Whole Food$. It's really not that bad diluted. I had forgotten how good raw honey is as well. I think I'm going to go a glass a day and see how it works.

Honey - has to be local. Check the label. It is good ! Mine isn't too sweet to the taste. |

Don't get discouraged. Maybe just tweak your diet a bit and see what happens.
