Apple cider vinegar is made of apples, as the name suggests, which could be a red flag for those on the keto diet. Keto diet followers avoid sugars in most forms, including in fruit.

Luckily for those who want to take the vinegar on the diet, when the drink becomes an acid it is no longer a carbohydrate.

Still, it does have some left over sugar, so drinking could jeopardize efforts.

Nutritionist Kristen Mancinelli, R.D. told Women's Health that apple cider vinegar can have some healthy bonuses.

She said: "Raw, unpasteurized ACV is fermented and contains probiotics, which we know has benefits."
