    L-carnitine before cardio in the morning

    Does this help with fat loss even more if I take it on an empty stomach before cardio? I heard from somewhere you need to take it with carbs but I am not sure.

    It's fat loss claims are mostly unproven. Caffeine 200-400mg is a better option IMO.

    400 mg of caffeine= grande starbucks and 2 bronkaid(50mg ephedrine) before a 90 min cardio with empty stomach first thing in the AM....does the trick for me for fatloss.

    id roll with caffeine also! the cheapest way is you make your own coffee and put 4x the amount is says so you have black black coffee! the pills are good but something about caffeine in coffee makes me sweat more and feels like burning the most fat!
