Can I drink apple cider vinegar while fasting?
Quick answer
A small amount of diluted apple cider vinegar is a gray-area practical fasting choice, not a required fasting tool.
Step by step
01 Dilute it if you use it.
02 Avoid gummies or sweetened versions.
03 Stop if it irritates your stomach.
The longer answer
Plain vinegar has few calories, but gummies and sweetened drinks are different. Avoid harsh amounts, and do not use vinegar to force through symptoms.
Tip
You do not need apple cider vinegar to fast well.
Common mistake
Thinking vinegar cancels out calories or overeating.
