Has anyone taken L - Carnitine

For those of you doing Attkins have you taken L- Carnitine? Did it help ?

I took it for about 3 months, at the maximum recommended dosage.

Costly proposition, and I didn't see any difference, personally.

I tried it too and didn't see that it speeded up my weight loss at all. When you consider you have to allow 1 gram of carbs for each capsule, it really wasn't worth it to me.

It's great to see you, Jana.

thanks for the info. I guess I won't be waisting my money on them then.

I have taken them off and on over the past couple of years. I definitely notice a difference my weight loss when I'm on it! ::yes:: But, it's pretty expensive, so I don't take it all the time.

L-carnitine is found in meats and I think it isn't really necessary as a supplement on atkins as long as you are eating enough meat.
