Direct answer: Plain garlic receives a GREEN DietVox result under the Weight Loss profile. This is a comparison of the reference food, not evidence that garlic by itself causes weight loss. The broader eating-pattern context comes from NHS healthy-eating guidance for weight loss.
Why the form of garlic matters
The page refers to raw garlic or garlic cooked without added ingredients. Garlic butter, garlic bread, oil-based sauces, marinades and prepared pastes include other ingredients; assess the finished food instead of transferring this result to the recipe.
Reading the per-100g numbers
The canonical composition profile lists 149 kcal, 33.1 g carbohydrate, 6.4 g protein and 0.5 g fat per 100g. The figures are a standardized comparison basis. They should not be read as a serving suggestion.
DietVox matched those imported figures to USDA FoodData Central FDC ID 169230, “Garlic, raw”, checked on 28 July 2026.
What GREEN communicates
For this protocol, GREEN means the plain reference food fits the DietVox Weight Loss comparison. Overall portions, additions and the rest of the eating pattern remain relevant; one ingredient does not determine weight change.
Garlic across the four profiles
The canonical food card shows Acid Reflux RED, Low Sugar GREEN, Weight Loss GREEN and Balanced Eating GREEN. The Acid Reflux result is a separate proprietary protocol outcome and does not cancel or strengthen the Weight Loss result. General context comes from NIDDK GERD guidance and NHS weight-loss eating guidance, not from combining the two labels.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does garlic specifically contribute to a successful weight loss diet?
Garlic changes flavour and the reference profile can compare a portion, but no clove amount or flavour effect establishes a weight-loss outcome.
Are there any specific cooking methods for garlic that are best for weight loss?
Garlic preparations differ by recipe and additions. No cooking method is proven best for weight loss; compare the complete recipe and serving.
Can garlic help manage appetite or satiety during weight loss?
The reference profile lists garlic fibre, but no garlic food or flavour effect establishes appetite or satiety outcomes.
What's the difference in calorie impact between 100g of garlic and a typical serving for weight loss?
The displayed profile is per 100 g; garlic use varies by recipe. Compare the actual amount without treating a clove estimate as a weight-loss conclusion.
Does garlic have any other health benefits relevant to someone on a weight loss diet?
No claim-specific evidence was retained that garlic improves antioxidant status, blood pressure or cholesterol in this weight-loss context. Do not use it as treatment.
