How does garlic help you lose weight?
Garlic contains the compound allicin which has anti-bacterial effects and helps reduce unhealthy fats and LDL (bad) cholesterol. Keep in mind, though, that there are conditions. First, this is only for raw garlic because allicin is destroyed when cooked. Second, allicin is not present in garlic in its natural state; you have to chop or smash it so that the enzyme alliinase acts on the chemical alliin converting it into allicin.
