Eat One Spoonful of This for a Week on an Empty Stomach, and You Won't Believe How Much Weight You'll Lose

Numerous studies scattered across the internet indicate the phenomenal capabilities of garlic in countless areas - from detoxification to treating bacteria and preventing infectious diseases. 

However, opinions are increasingly growing about the immense benefits of eating garlic on an empty stomach. It's not unlikely that you might hear similar opinions from those closest to you: 'My grandma used to give us a spoonful of garlic in the morning before we left for school,' recounts a user on the Step to Health site, joined by more users with similar stories. 

One of those stories circulating online is from a user named Anthony, who alongside his story, shared a study with the headline: "Why is it beneficial to eat garlic on an empty stomach."

Anthony explained that after reading the article, he was convinced this would help him shed excess kilograms from his body, and decided to try the 'recipe' suggested there. "I consumed a tablespoon of fresh, crushed garlic on an empty stomach every morning," he recounts. "When you crush garlic, allicin, which is its active compound, starts working and tackles bad bacteria and toxins that prevent weight loss."

According to Anthony, in the very first week, when he stepped on the scales for the first time, he couldn't believe his eyes. "I have always known that garlic is excellent for health, but whether it was the smell that repulsed me or other reasons, I just didn't think it could help in this case. To my surprise, I lost seven kilograms in body weight after just one week, but I must admit that's not the only change I made in my life."

Anthony told users that he doesn't believe in magic solutions, and for the formula to work, he decided to be extra cautious while avoiding foods that increase toxins in the body like fried foods. "Alongside natural solutions, I believe in hard work. You can't have your cake and eat it too. Maybe other things will work for you, but for me - this was exactly what I needed to shed the excess pounds. This and exercise, of course, which is an integral part of my life."
