I don't know about "need" -- but I can say I much prefer the taste chilled

bottle didn't say, i wasn't sure it "needed" or not because of the Mother in it...will keep on counter so I remember to take it.
Took my first 1/2 teasp. this am, and brought some for before lunch.
will keep you posted on how it affects me.

Ok, here is my story.
I got my ACV on sunday and started taking it yesterday.
I took 1/2 tsp before breakfast, after lunch (forgot) and before dinner
I took 1/2 tsp before breakfast, and before lunch today....
I feel like I took a bunch of caffeen - don't do caffeen anymore - for about 10+ years so when I do have caffeen I can tell.... zooming around the office today, much more energy - even tho I only had about 5 hours of sleep...
got up at 5:30 did water aerobics, picked up tacos for morning meeting, etc...
Last night crashed on lounge chair watching the tube, didn't take any before bed....
not sure I will tonite, but will see.
I am going to give it this first bottle, before I decide if I continue, want to see what this month is like - working on a couple of things to keep me on track better.
:great:

One thing that I've REALLY noticed is a lack of little aches and pains. Also, I sleep MUCH better now!

Onward to day three, dosed 1/2 tsp before breakfast, lunch and dinner yesterday.... I had a ton of energy all day.... I started the week (friday) weighing 277 (up 5 - that five I kept gaining and losing all summer) today I weighed at 268.... - been eating lighter - no sugar, no lc tortillas or bread, lots more veggies no fruit - except 1/2 banana every other day - swim too much to drop my banannas...., and drinking my gallon of water every day.

so... not sure what it is, maybe a combination of everything but I am going to keep this up for a while. :jumpgreen

I am doing a test. Finished my first bottle of Bragg's last week and so I decided to take a little time off from it, just to see how I felt. I am not sleeping as well, don't have as much energy, and I feel munchy, which I did not while on the ACV. So, it's back to the HFS for more!

Thanks Sharron and everyone for turning me on to this inexpensive miracle in a bottle!

Ladies, that is soooo cool :cool:

Sharron,

I consider you the "kefir guru" of LCE, so I'm asking your advice on store bought. Whadaya think? Helios? or not at all. Reason for the store bought is that I love the benefits of kefir but don't want to commit myself to growing 'em just yet.

__________________

Shannon -
Helios is the brand I used when checking if I would even like kefir - get the PLAIN, not the flavored (full of sugar).

Kefir isn't that hard to make or time consuming - it will take you a few days to get in the groove, but then you'll be able to strain etc in no time.
