Once again, you can't fool mother-nature. Your body is rebelling for good reason. The vinegar weight loss trick is a poor strategy for weight loss. The reason is: Vinegar is high in acid and your body needs to be slightly alkaline for good health. The same is true for alcholic beverages such as wine, beer etc.. They are high in acid. Although, some foods like tomatoes and lemons, high in acid, get metabolized as alkaline. And, by the way, most processed foods like ice cream make the body more acidic.
There are at least a few books that explain this. One is: "The pH Miracle: Balance Your Diet, Reclaim Your Health" by Robert O. Young PhD.
