Cook with garlic for its aroma. If your sense of taste isn't that strong, you should know that smell has a lot to do with taste. The pungent aroma of garlic itself is an appetite stimulant. Merely cooking with it can help improve your appetite, even if you don't eat it.

Tips & Warnings
Consider taking a multivitamin if you haven't been eating properly due to appetite loss. The multivitamin shouldn't give you more than 100 percent of the recommended daily allowance for vitamins. Consuming a liquid nutrition supplement might be a good idea as well.
Treat loss of appetite the way you would treat any other symptom. Visit a health-care professional to determine why you have a decreased desire to eat before trying any herbal or medicinal cures.
Beware of halitosis if you are eating lots of garlic. Try chewing gum and using mouthwash to get rid of bad breath.
