Bob, go to this link and watch what this Doctor has to say about using apple cider vinegar for weight loss as well as other health benefits. I use it for weight loss as well as to help with insulin resistance as I'm diabetic.

My A1C numbers have decreased while taking it, plus I lost about 35 lbs. I didn't do anything other than take the ACV, no exercise plan, didn't change diet, but still lost weight.
I started out taking the ACV in liquid, but the taste is somewhat unpleasant, so I switched to the capsules.
If course I'd ask your doctor before using it, but it helped me lose weight, as well as maintain it. It also helps me keep my A1C numbers below 7 consistently. I've always had heartburn for decades, and the ACV also got rid of that symptom.
The acetic acid may also help make your blood less likely to harbor cancer cells, as cancer likes blood with lots of sugars and carbs, but your doctor would know more about it than I would. The ACV improves gut health which much of the rest of the body benefits from.
I just wanted to pass along what worked for me and it costs very little to use it. I got very good results over the past 5 years while using it twice daily.
Good luck with whatever you decide to do.......
