Bragg's, anyone?

[channlluv]

I have been using their apple cider vinegar mixed with cold water and a packet of stevia in an effort to help me lose weight. In the week I've been using it, I've gained four pounds and my face is breaking out. Both may be due to the detox effects of the ACV, or that my period is due in a few days, or a couple of dietary lapses. I'm wondering if any of you use Bragg's products, and how. Maybe I'm not doing it right.

I bought some of their liquid aminos, too, with the intention of making salad dressing with coconut oil and balsamic vinegar. Do any of you use it? I read that it's good for thicker hair and weight loss, but I'm not sure how that works.

I also picked up one of their books - the one on ACV-- but it reads with the fervor of religious propaganda and most of their evidence is anecdotal. I'm not sure I trust it. Plus, it's rife with grammar errors, which bugs me. If they didn't take the time to consult a professional editor, would they consult nutritionists and other medical professionals?

I'm new to these products. I'm hoping to get some input from you all. You, I trust.

Thank you!
