Since several folks here are discussing supplements & carbs, has anyone had any experience with using L-glutamine to reduce carb cravings and/or L-carnitine for fat metabolism? I’ve seen it recommended on a couple of low car sites.
I take glutamine [5-10 grams daily]. I have not read anything about it reducing carb cravings, though. I use it for muscle growth and to keep muscle when dieting.
Carnitine is also a good fat burner. But it is expensive.
One supplement, which has a proven record and is pretty cheap is Chromium Picolinate. It has been proven to help build muscle while reducing fat. It costs $10 for a three to four month supply and it helps eliminate carb cravings by leveling off the blood sugar/ insulin levels in the body.
