Oooh very well done @ferretgal on yr 100 fasts
I looked online re carnitine and someone called The Supplement Guru says :-
"One of the main roles that carnitine plays in the body is in assisting the transport of fat into the mitochondria of cells, such as muscle cells. It is here in the mitochondria where the fat is burned away as fuel. This is why carnitine is a popular ingredient in fat burners. * Research confirms that supplementing with carnitine increases the amount of fat burned, particularly during exercise. This enhances fat loss and also boosts muscle endurance by sparing muscle glycogen.*
Carnitine has also been found to improve blood flow by increasing nitric oxide production. This relaxes the smooth muscles of the blood vessels, causing them to widen, allowing more blood to flow through. This can further promote muscle endurance through better deliver of nutrients and oxygen to working muscles, along with helping to improve recovery after exercise."
It doesnt mention belly fat,just fat in general..found abundantly in red meat and dairy,also in niuts,grains and green veg.
Theres a lot online about carnitine but some of it is far too scientific for me!
@nursebean i always say 80 for a medium egg but could be wrong x i read that somewhere years ago anyways x
