Diluted vinegar is a traditional tonic for weight loss. Mention of this folk remedy is found as far back as 1825. British poet Lord Byron popularized vinegar as a weight-loss tonic and would reportedly go for days eating biscuits and potatoes soaked in vinegar.26 Other ways to use vinegar are to ingest several teaspoons of it prior to meals, or to drink it diluted in water at bedtime.
