Garlic

One clove of raw garlic contains 1 gram of carbs and only 4 calories. Across multiple studies, garlic has been shown to reduce LDL (or “bad” cholesterol), blood sugar, and inflammation in those suffering from type 2 diabetes. It’s also possibly useful in lowering blood pressure. One study showed that those who ate aged garlic over the course of 12 weeks averaged a 10-point drop in blood pressure.
