A member asked:
If not l carnitine than what is an alternative supplement advisable to get rid of belly fat?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
We loose weight: over our entire body. Spot reducing is not effective. The amount of running or other exercise that helps depends on your present weight and metabolism. If your doc clears you for exercise go for it, same w/lower carb food plan. Overall health is the best goal. Peace and good health. Ask a personal trainer about "stomach crunches" to tone up your belly muscles a bit.
