L-Carnitine has been a KEY for me, too! I've taken it for about 6 months now and I've lost continuosly.

I read about l-carnitine and ordered the 500mg. I started taking 1 a day with Q-10 and have started losing weight again. I had went for a while and not lost any weight even though I was not cheating on the atkins diet. Anyway I am losing weigh again and happy. I have to say I am 57 and feel my matbolism has slowed down and the l-carnitine has jump started it again, I hope safely.

This worked big time for me. Have been on it and noticed the difference right away. We have a Vitamin Shoppe and they have a say right now at 50% their brands. I paid under $25 for 150. They are 250mg. I was at a stall and this did it right away.

YEAH!! After not losing any weight for 4 weeks, I went on the L-carnitine and the weight is moving again! 2 pounds! Not much, but after watching that scale just sit there and not move, it is something!

I just bought this 3 days ago, because I was tired of not being able to get into the 180's no matter what I did, and I lost 1/2 pound THAT night, and then this morning I woke up & had lost 1.5 more pounds, which FINALLY brought me into the 180's this has also helped my husband start losing again. I bought mine at Wal Mart for almost $11 for 30 pills Personally I could care less how much they cost as long as they do the job Two thumbs up!!

Ive been in a two month stall and the L-carnitine sounds like a great solution. Does anybody know if there is a risk of raising your blood pressure? Diet has worked great to drop mine and would hate to screw it up.

L-Carnitine is listed in Dr. Atkins' Vita-Nutrient Solution as a nutrient to LOWER blood pressure. (I highly recommend this book.) I take it to help with weight loss and blood pressure.

So, go ahead and try it!

I started taking l-carnitine about a month ago and it has really helped me. I'm now back on track. about the blood pressure thing i have always had low blood pressure and I feel tired when I get up untill I take the l-carnitine. After about 1 hour I feel like my old self of 10 years ago, the energy I mean. I think it just ups my metabolism, low metabolism runs in my family. My sister takes medication every day for low metabolism.

For those who have had success with L-Carnitine, how much are you taking?

I am just taking one pill a day. It is 500 mg.

I take 1 500mg with 200 mg CO Q-10 first thing in am. It is working well for me.

I've been in a 9 mo stall and my check list of no impacts looks just like yours!!! I've been so frustrated. I have L-Carnitine and only sporatically take it...don't know why, but now that I think about it, when I was loosing, the best weeks were when I was taking it. About 3 weeks ago I took it for 3-4 days and lost 4 lbs that week...not past my stall weight, just re-loosing those same lbs in a 5-10 lbs range the last 9 mo. I'm going to run home on my lunch hour and grab that bottle!! I find if I carry my pills with me, I am better about taking them...because I'm hardly ever home. Another story for another day....

I started taking mine again today along with oil of oregano and relacore. One of the three HAS to work. heh

Im Currently Thinking Of Doing The Same 3!!!! Will It Hurt Any?

How Much L-car. To Take? Any Brand In Particular. I Was Thinking Of Getting 'body Fortress' 500mg. (its The Cheapest On Drugstore.com)

Butterball, I'm just going to take 500mg/day as the stuff is so expensive. I know a lot of people take more than that though.
