Objective: The objectives of this study are to evaluate the effect of apple cider vinegar on weight management, blood sugar level, HbA1C, and on lipid profile. Design: It was a randomized control trial. Study Settings: This study was conducted at OPD of Medicine, Hameed Latif Hospital. Material and Methods: Two groups were formed, each with at least 30 participants. The first group of 30 obese/overweight patients received 15ml of ACV twice a day, before lunch and dinner (total dose of 30ml). The second group was the control group, which received 15ml of ACV twice daily before lunch and dinner (for a total dose of 30ml), but they were healthy and free of disease. The results of both interventional groups (pre and post interventional) in terms of lowering blood glucose and cholesterol levels, as well as body weight, were compared. Results: Both the groups had 15 male and 15 female patients with age of obese and non-obese patients was 43 & 32.5 years respectively.
