Yes, you're so right!! This will break your fast. I made this video way before I started intermittent fasting. Thanks for sharing this.

I’m glad somebody said something about breaking your fast. I was so confused

i do agave

@@nelidahampton9475, sorry for the confusion. I now drink this about 20 minutes before my first meal of the day or right after dinner, still in my eating window. The ingredients are so healthy for the body, but it will break your fast. I also leave out the honey now.

So glad you mentioned this, I was watching thinking about the intermittent fasting the whole time wondering how I could make it work.

Uh, your way makes so much more sense than my way. LOL!

Any liquid works! Just start with a few drops, then add a few more at a time until you get a paste. It’s hydrophobic or something

Does it really work? I’m struggling to lose some weight

Thank for tip

@@ericaquick7157 hey I don’t see anyone else responding so I’m just giving you my own take on what has helped me. I have a number of autoimmune disorders and other things that have caused a lot of weight gain for me either from hormones, or steroids etc.. finally after suffering with over 50 lbs of weight gain my cardiologist and rheumatologist told me what to do. It works!! They can’t just tell you because of the way the medical system is which is ridiculous! As I don’t want medicine I want to fix what’s wrong! Ugh anyway I guess after knowing them so long they finally trusted me to give me some advice. This tea absolutely 100 percent works and you can also look up banana tea for sleep on here and any recipe is amazing for sleep and anxiety. It’s an amazing thing those bananas! Besides this I took their advice and switched to a plant based diet and added fresh legumes (soak for three days in a big bowl on the counter) it removes the stuff our body can’t break down that causes gas. Let me tell you my bloat went away instantly eating this way and I lost 12 lbs my first 2 weeks!! Finally! I even noticed a huge difference in the way I felt. Also try to eat 1 cucumber daily for energy and much more benefits! Good luck with your journey and I hope I could help a bit 🙏🏼

I hope it is helpful for you. Give it time. Nothing changes over time. But the ingredients have a lot of healthy benefits and this, combined with eating real whole foods, sleeping good, and moving our bodies all go hand in hand.

😮

Would lemon juice work , if that is you can't get a fresh lemon

@@jessicamullins2219 yep. 1Tbsp

Thank you very much for these

Screenshoted ... thanks!

@@claudiaaube6523 Tea 🍵 helps you sleep 💤 😴

Great tip!

Thank you. :)

Only positive comments amounts to propaganda, not rational discussion

P.S. I eat very healthfully. Before my back issue and then lumbar surgery, I had gained weight. This simple drink is a miracle for me!

Thank you for sharing your results. Eating healthy whole food and moving you body is very important also...along with getting sleep. I am sure after surgery you are limited in a lot of physical activity.

​@@sherrym8415got to try this tell you about my result

What a WOWWWWW!!

Well Sherry it's been 7 months, have you kept losing weight and how much did you lose if you have?

It's been one more month . . . I am interested to know, have you lost more inches? I have a serious spare tire and am looking for something that works. Thank you.

You will always measure less in the morning.

So it's been 10 Mos since your comment. How did it go .

Hello any update ?

@@remyarenuka3165 I'm sorry but no up date due to the sudden death of my husband.

Jeffrey Coffey - have you made any other changes, such as exercise, diet, etc.?

Yes do try it you will see for you self

I'm sure this is the reason for you losing weight. Not the fact you had been eating less.....

@@Jay-sd9ye n

@Phire Blu , ACV really does have proven effects for helping lose weight! Good for you!

It is really work guaranty

Thanks for watching! We have to keep our teeth in good condition! :)

I always dring apple cider vinegar drink with a straw ( unless I forget )

I don’t think it matters if you brush your teeth straight after

Thank you!

❤Ty🙏🏾Ms.Sandy Do I add cayenne pepper like you said in The beginning of your Video or No? And is it all right if I add turmeric and ginger to The Tonic🙏🏾?

I finish eating by 6 pm so wouldn’t the honey and lemon etc. at 10 pm break the fast cycle? I’m confused😜

@@mimi-pe8um, since I am intermittent fasting, I now drink this about 15-20 minutes before I break my fast with food. It helps get the digestive juices going and good probiotics in my stomach. Since I drink during the day, I don't use chamomile tea, because I don't want to be tired. Honey can easily be left out of the drink. It just helps cut the bitterness of the acids, if you don't like that taste.

@@sandysteinbrook ok Ms.Sandy,I asked you a question before The Person above but, you didn’t answer respond/reply nothing. It’s like you didn’t see the question. Is it because I didn’t mention I was fasting too? Help me understand why, I shouldn’t feel some kind of way. When I’m trying to 1. Clarify what you said and 2. If adding something would completely alter the outcome or not? Or🤨Did,Did you think I was trying to put you on blast or something? SMH 🤦🏾‍♀️

I was going to ask about the honey. I’ve started keto diet so wasn’t keen on the honey component. Thank you, hopefully it’ll work for me too 🙏🏽

@@yas0282 I do this and use stevia

Is the water cold or warm?

Being a diabetic what can I use to replace the honey?

@@normacory5292 stevia

Thank you! I agree, apple cider vinegar has a host of healthy benefits for our bodies!....and yes, gotta keep things moving. Lol

I take ACV in capsules, is better

If you have acid reflux, this is NOT for you. Instead, drink a warm version of this in the morning, take a 30-minute hike before you start your day, and eat only from 12:00 - 6:00 p.m. You will lose weight faster.

I think there is something to do with age and not sleeping as well as we get older. I hit 50 and struggle a little more. The chamomile is so calming on my body. Another tea that has really helped me sleep is the Yogi "bedtime" tea. P.S. Your picture sure doesn't look like a 69 year old! You go, girl!

Yes yes, yes to everything you said! I did not know about ceylon cinnamon when I made the video. Kind. people like you shared in the comments and I'm hoping many others read your comments to know this important fact.

Ceylon cinnamon is all I use. I even put it in my decaf coffee.

I only buy raw honey

I concur. The Chinese Cinnamon has too much courmarin which is said to be hard on the liver under heavy use. Raw honey does not like too much heat; just warm enough for dissolution is the right way to preserve its nutritional content; otherwise, if it's too hot, you'll be left with just sugars.

I use cinnamon sticks and brew. The longer it sits the sweeter it tastes.

Thank you!

Yes! Seriously, thank you!

Thanks for the idea! That is a great tip!

Tell us your experience. How did it work for you? Weight loss? How soon did you notice weight loss?

Thank you.💜

Yes! This will break your fast but, when I made this video...I wasn't intermittent fasting. You can see from the video, I had no weight I needed to lose.But then hormones happened, lol. So now I drink this about 20 minutes before my first meal. Or it can be easily drank after the last meal of the day. I do omit the honey and if it's during the day I use green tea instead of chamomile.

You're welcome. Lol.

Nope... not in my kitchen 🥲

I have to try this thank you

Thank you, Crystal!

@@sandysteinbrook You’re Welcome 😊💗

Good lord! You are so not losing 2lbs a day. If so your sick and go see your doctor fast!🤔🙄

@@shawnbailey9237 lol I just came from my doc and everything is great blood test good kidneys and liver good also just got taken off diabetes meds numbers were excellent and still doing keto and intermittent fasting down 22 lbs

@@goddess4786 22lbs in 3 months is believable yes if your doing Keto, it's not the drink.

@@shawnbailey9237 Last diet I went on I lost 40 lbs in 6 weeks. It was a restricted food diet with a Clean Diet in mind. So losing that much weight in a short time is possible...

Are You fasting as well ? CONGRATULATIONS !!

Good tip! Thank you for sharing. Using the zest of the lemon is a great idea.

Way better tips then the way I was doing it. Lol!

@@sandysteinbrook I'm a secret professional chef lol.

You're welcome. I hope it is helpful for you. Really you can drink this any time of the day, I just use chamomile tea if its evening time because of the calming effects. I use green tea if I want to drink it in the morning.

Yeah, your way is so much smarter than mine. Lol. Makes me laugh at myself. Thanks for sharing!

That's exactly how I made it as well! It's really good!! I was expecting bitter like she said.. No!! It was great!!

using this with green tea for a morning pick up is a great idea!

The ingredients are so healthy for the body! I am now doing intermittent fasting so I drink this about 20 minutes before may first meal or right after dinner now so it doesn't break my fast.

Don't listen to her: you can't drink tea before go to bed, tea gets you exited, just like coffee.

Hi Rosemary! I will have to look up what DR is. I hope this helps you. It is definitely a combination of a healthy diet, good sleep, gratitude, good vitamins, and moving our body. It all works together. Losing weight is tough! You can do it because you realize it is baby steps. little bit of change makes a big difference over time.

Right?!! It really does work. Its been shown in many scientific studies and trials that it lowers our blood sugar levels. Otherwise we store fat when we get blood sugar spikes.

That’s exactly what I was thinking.

@@Muskaan7100, I know that feeling, I was woozy 🥴. I had to drink 16 oz of water with 1-2 Tbsps of Apple 🍏 Cider Vinegar and 1 Tbsp of Juice from a lemon 🍋 and my blood glucose came back down to normal.

I completely agree! It does push hunger forward.

Very true.

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for sharing!! I hope others see your comment and realize by adding those additional ingredients, there is even more of a benefit to our health.

Thank you so much for sharing this information! I did not know this. Thanks to comments like yours, I have now switched to ceylon cinnamon. I hope many people see your comment so they know of this valuable information too.

@@sandysteinbrook maybe you should "pin" This comment so that its the top comment in the thread

You’re right. I use only Ceylon cinnamon.

How can you find out what cinnamon you have because it’s not on the jars that I buy. It’s not even listed on the jars of organic cinnamon which I buy. This question is months after your comment, so thanks for answering if you see it.

@@sandysteinbrook-I hope you see the question I asked below on how to find out what type of cinnamon you’re getting because it’s not listed typically. I buy organic cinnamon and it’s not on that jar either.

I always like it when someone does this in the comments in other videos. Thanks!

Thank you so much. ❤

Good idea! The honey is just to cut the bitterness. It isn't even needed.

I drink this about 4 times a week so I make one big batch rather than dirtying dishes every day.

Thank you! So, if you want to drink this in the morning instead, I use green tea in place of chamomile tea. Also, I make one big batch at a time so I dont have to make an individual cup each time. I drink this 4 times a week

@@sandysteinbrook Wonderful, thank you for the advice! And I actually wondered if you could batch it or if it had to be fresh made every time. How much are your batch measurements?

ACV while an acid actually promotes alkalinity in the gut.

@@JaelWasFramed , YES! Thank you for noting this. It is so important that our bodies are alkaline. Many studies have found that cancer is more prevalent in bodies that are acidic. So it is important to have ingredients available to that we can take to help our bodies remain alkaline

After the ACV is ingested into the body it turns alkaline

Hey Sophia, would you like a challenge? I know I sure could use one. I need to lose around 80lbs also. I lost 18 lbs in the hospital and was thrilled when I got on the scale but since returning home in only 2 months have gained 9 back. I figure if we challenge each other and share weightloss tip and progress, it might help to keep going. I'm good at starting just not the follow through. Let me know what you think. By the way my name is Kim.

Intermittent fasting......up to 23 hours a day. 1 hour eating window. Try to reduce carbs and refined sugar to the lowest amounts possible. That's the answer and good luck :)

The intermittent fasting is good, but make it so you have a meal in evening or you can't sleep from hunger. I do a 18hr fast 6 eating window. THE BEST thing for me was the free CRONOMETER app. It really holds you accountable and is super easy to use. I do the biggest 2lb/week deficit(1000cal a day) and set lifestyle at sedentary even though I work out. But even a 1lb(500 cal/day) deficit will be successful. Basically it gets your mind programmed on what is good and bad to hit your macro goals(protein/carb/fat percent) I do a 40% protein and 30/30% for fat and carbs but you can change it to maybe 35/35/30 for a woman who isn't trying to retain or build muscle along the journey. Staying in caloric deficit is the key

Try keto!

@@tazmaniandiva7762 3 years ago I got really sick and lost 105 lbs. By 2020 it started coming back and now it's all back plus 20 more! I'm going to get it off again the healthy way but it's going to be a challenge!!

Good to hear. Yes, these ingredients really do work to cleanse our bodies.

And?

and??

Results?

Please let us know if your stomach gets smaller.

AGREE! Apple cinder vinegar does what you say...it really is helpful in a weight loss routine. Thank you for sharing this!

What can I do don't by tea bag we only have lots tea can do that way. Thanks Michele

So, after reading this, I am wondering, Lisa, if you are eating enough food in a day. If you are not, your metabolism will slow down so much that your body will hold on to fat, because it thinks it needs to, rather than burning the fat. I have seen and used sa calorie calculator. You can find them online. Put in your age, height and some other factors and it will figure out how many calories you need in a day to lose weight, or maintain weight.I think it would be really helpful for you. Just my thoughts...

My pleasure 😊

That makes so much more sense. I should have done that. Lol

Yes!! Consistency is key! Thank you for saying that. Nothing is instant results. If Intermittent fasting or on keto skip the honey. Thank you for your comment.

I can't drink it on an empty stomach in the morning either unless I am going to eat very soon. The ingredients definitely work. Science has shown that. Try it at night and see if your stomach feels better. If it has been a long time since supper, you may want to have a small snack with it.

Yes, keeping busy is what helps me get through my fasting window too! Yvette, this drink will break your fast. I made this videos way before I started IF. Now I drink this mixture about 20 minutes before my first meal. I get all the benefits still. I leave out the honey and drink green tea if its day time. If I drink this after dinner instead, I can still use the chamomile

Yvette: Good luck to you! You've just encouraged me. I'm 70 as well!

I also did Weigh Down an many other things. Nothing was working for me and truly I am so tired of diet rules. I am new to intermittent fasting, but it seems to take all the guess work out of it. I am pretty excited about this!

So far I understood that fasting is a " mind over matter." Keep yourself busy and fo the things you enjoy. Also adding, drink is a good filler. Best one for me is carrot juicing. I chose carrots for the needed vitamins and by far it's an amazing filler to use. Certainly add more carrot vs water. Works better. In losing weight for me though it's only become hard since after I had cancer and having a bone marrow transplant screwed up my hormones. So I get hot flashes, the works. I hope yo get rid of it. By far for the fasting, the longest I've gone was 11 to 12bhours lol. Normally its 9 to ten hours. It would be trully more effective without my thyroid problems due to my bone marrow autologous transplant. Sucks big time >

I am fasting as well. Do you know if this drink will break my fast? I would not do the honey off course

Thank you for being a new sub!

Lol. You have some great will power to stay in bed.

Good luck! Definitely remember that eating healthy, whole food, good sleep and moving our bodies daily is part of seeing results too.

Hi, just wondering if you have dropped any weight since trying. :)

@@PiggyBlue not yet

@@Kara-kx1lb what about now ?

@@JoeMama-vt6pv I've lost 20 pounds. But for some reason I don't think it was the tea. I got real sick in the middle of July. And I lost 10 pounds from being sick. And another after that. Just because I haven't be very hungry. But the tea taste really good.

That is true. Those could easily be added.

I wouldn’t be putting it in the microwave , nor having it with honey (sugar). Did it do anything for you?

Thanks, Eddie!

Can we use warm water to make the tea

All kinds of wonderful benefits associated with consuming apple cider vinegar. Of course in small amounts. It even helps make beautiful clear skin from what I have read.

Glad you like it!
