I lost 50 lbs in a relatively short amount of time using the Adkins diet, which most probably know is very similar to Keto. I went from 203 to 153 in less than a year. At 5'5" that's a quarter of my body weight. I also drank 3000 mgs of L Carnitine daily. I know that L Carnitine shuttles fat into the mitochondria of the cells to be used as energy, but I have two questions that I hope can be answered because I'm not thoroughly convinced that the carnitine played a big role in the fat loss. Not saying that it didn't, just wondering if it was enough to begin using it again now that I've put on around 15-17 lbs of lean muscle mass and want to go on another cut to get my abs really popping by the summer.
1st question: Does the shuttling of fat into the mitochondria of the cell to be used for fuel necessarily translate into visceral fat loss?
2nd question: If the answer to question 1 is yes, is oral ingestion really effective?
Thoughts? Experiences?
