Reddit mentions of BRAGG VINEGAR APPLE CIDER UNF ORG, 16 OZ

I cannot imagine running with a bagel and cream cheese in my stomach :)

I pop a tums and then do my morning runs (5.1 miles) fasted. I then do a shot of apple cider vinegar and eat my breakfast shake. I think the ACV is good for replacing the stomach acid I just eliminated via the tums so that I can still properly digest my breakfast and get as much nutrition out of it as possible.

On my long runs (so far up to 10-14 miles) I started experimenting with these gels around half way. They did give me a little heartburn, but I also carry my trusty pocket-tums for that. I'm going to keep trying other gels to try and find one that doesn't induce heartburn.

Also, I used to take Prilosec before all the studies showing the myriad of detrimental health effects of PPIs (proton pump inhibitors). Now, I can manage my heartburn with just one tums before any physical activity... if I watch what I eat. For the days I know I'll be bad, I take a Ranitidine on an empty stomach. It's a H2 blocker, so it might not be as bad as a PPI since it blocks only ~60% of stomach acid, rather than the 90% of Prilosec (i.e less effective but maybe less harmful due to the lowered effectiveness is my hypothesis).

You are effing awesome. If I can suggest two things:

1. Do 20 pushups and sit-ups each morning and night. It takes 3 minutes and you'll kick start your metabolism.
   
   
2. Drink 1 capful of this stuff (mix it with a bottle of water in the morning and drink it): https://smile.amazon.com/Bragg-Organic-Apple-Vinegar-16-Bottle/dp/B00H4I4DRC/ref=sr_1_3_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1469582617&sr=8-3&keywords=apple+cider+vinegar
   
   good luck!
