I read something that eating 6 cloves of roasted garlic can be very beneficial to your body and such and promote weight loss among other things. I know you should not eat that my h raw garlic but what do you all think? Has anyone tried it? I might ask my doctor about it in August but I wanted opinions form you all too, especially if you have done something similar.
It will help you lose weight if it helps you consume fewer calories.
6 cloves is quite a bit of garlic to eat for many people.
Generally claims that if you eat an excessive amount of one food you will get some great health benefit are not true and may actually be somewhat harmful rather than helpful.
It is good that you are questioning this and will speak to your doctor.

And another person not reading. I said aid in weight loss. Not make me lose weight. Jesus.
Aid in weight loss = make you lose weight. I don't see how we're getting the wrong idea from what you're saying?
There is no magic food. Garlic is great, but it won't make much of a difference. And you will stink!13 -
About eating that much garlic - I regularly eat garlic... and to be honest, one of my favorite indulgent snacks is a little paté spread on some baguette bread along with creamed roasted garlic.
I take about 3 full heads of garlic (about 24-30 cloves total), roast them... then squish them all out into a small bowl, add a little salt, pepper, a little hot sauce, and also use that as a spread to put along with the paté meat - between myself, my husband and the 4 kids, we go through it all in one sitting.
I also generally slice up and cook 1-2 cloves worth of garlic per person in side dishes.... and we don't smell of garlic other than our breaths for the next hour or so.7 -
Something about garlic people love, it makes dishes taste SO much better! I would think of it more as an appetite stimulate. Fun fact I will chop up tiny pieces of a garlic clove to mix with my beta fishs food when he's feeling sick and not wanting to eat, it's supposed to stimulate them to eat and has some healing properties 😉. So we aren't the only animals that find garlic to make us want to eat more.1

I've always loved the dish, roast chicken with 40 cloves. Basically, the garlic is roasted in the same pan as the chicken. The roasted garlic in chicken juices is very rich, and tastes beautiful on bread or just with the meal. I could easily eat 6 or more cloves like this, and it's extremely filling/satisfying. Very good for you, too. Obviously, whether or not you lose weight eating this will depend on whether or not you eat in a deficit. But it could certainly help you to maintain a deficit by filling you up!1

There are no special qualities in garlic to help with weight loss. And I’m not sorry.19

OP, I'm sorry if you felt like you were attacked, but, um.....you weren't. Perhaps instead of becoming super defensive, stop and read what everyone is taking the time to write in response to your post and maybe next time try practicing a little humility.
That said, there is no quick fix, there is no easy way, and there are no shortcuts to losing weight. If there were, everyone who wanted to be would be skinny.5 -

I don't need friends that don't share my love of garlic.27 -

I'm sorry?
"Aiding weight loss" means exactly the same as "helping you to lose weight"
I'm sorry that the answer is not what you wanted. If you're not happy with anything other than something that follows your narrative, why did you bother to ask the question?
If you want to be rude, I suggest taking your questions somewhere else where people won't bother to make an effort to actually help you.
Not the mention the fact that the title of the post is "Garlic Diet".11 -

I'm just glad it wasn't another mono-diet.8 -
At least you picked something really rare like garlic. It would be easy to see how its potential as a weight loss aid has been missed for so long.16

I read about a garlic and grapefruit diet that just melts the pounds away but only when you're in ketosis in-between IF after just coming off a paleo diet but only before the first cheat day of the month!
Oh, and you have to be sitting in a big vat of cabbage soup with an ACV IV in your arm too, but only on active rest days.
Ya, that was really mean. No, I don't care.32 -
Ok, now that's something I can get behind.4

I don't know why i post here thinking it's any different from the rest of the internet. Bye guys. I'll just wait to see my doctor. Thanks to those who actually read and understood my post. Peace.
No use replying, she has stopped reading. Then she wonders why she struggles to lose weight, it's everyone's fault but hers.10 -
She's not going to be happy when her doctor says everything that's already been said on here.11

Ha! Right? Unless her doctor is an MD and not a nutritionist.
