Want to Become Slim - Eat Onion and Garlic

A Croatian man has lost eleven-and-a-half stone in just six months - on a diet of garlic and onions.

When Momir Zmiric hit 26st doctors told him he could die if he didn't lose weight.

He tried several diets without success but then started living off garlic and onions - on a plain biscuit - with carrot juice.

Now down to 14st 7lbs, Momir, 42, of Split, said: "The weight dropped off."

Doctors have warned against the radical diet and a pal of Momir's said: "He looks great - but his breath is really rancid."
