Everyone hates stubborn fat. For example if you go through a cut, you can easily loose fat and get down your body fat percentage with the right diet and training. But when you get to the end, the last layer of fat is extremely stubborn and hard to lose. This would be on the top of your lower abs and some other places.
First thing you need to understand is that you can loose fat by spot reduction. Spot reduction simply means loosing fat from a specific targeted spot. For example you cannot just do a bunch of crunches in the hopes to loose fat over your abs and get them to reveal them. In terms of body fat, you loose it randomly depending on genetics. Some people loose fat first in the upper body and then their lower body. For other people it is different.
L carnitine is probably one of the most talked about supplement. There are always new studies on the subject. L carnitine is a quaternary ammonium compound bio synthesized from the amino acid lysine and methionine. In support of energy metabolism, carnitine transports long-chain fatty acids into mitochondria to be oxidized for energy production, and also participates in removing products of metabolism from cells. Given its key metabolic roles, carnitine is concentrated in tissues like skeletal and cardiac muscle that metabolize fatty acids as an energy source. Healthy individuals, including strict vegetarians, synthesize enough L-cartinine in vivo to not require supplementation.
Benifits
- It will boost your anabolic state
- Helps improve athletic ability
- It may improve symptoms for heart disease
- It enhances brain function
- Increases brain oxygen
- Targets fatty acids allowing to burn more fat
The best way to take L carnitine is to take it before your workout, although it does not matter when you take it. I personally like to split it up and take it in the morning and before going to bed. You should take about 300-500 mg daily in terms of dosage. Cardio is not fun and no one like to do it. But cardio can make all the difference in the world when it comes down to shredding. I would recommend you increase your cardio as you are decreasing your calories every two weeks. When I am going through a cut I try to push myself on cardio. I hate cardio so I try to burn 150-200 calories each day.
To end… One thing I like to think in terms of fitness is that you will get out what you put in. Fitness is all about being honest with yourself, being honest about the work that you are putting in. There are many things in life that you have no control over. For example no matter how much effort you put in a relationship or at work or basically anything else… there are no guaranteed results. However with fitness that is not the case. You get out what you put in.
