Meal replacement pills: Do they actually work?

Jumping in here regarding the L-carnitine question.
L-carnitine is an amino acid already in our bodies, just usually not enough of it. To put it simply, it helps burn fat for energy. You should take it at least thirty minutes before working out—liquid is better for this—so your muscles actually use that fat as fuel. It’s not harmful; you find the most of it in beef. I took 1000mg ampoules from MuscleTech for 30 days, dropped some fat, and didn't gain a single pound back. You can read more details at
Some people suggest taking 500mg twice a day, but in my experience, one 1000mg dose right before training works best—like hitting the stationary bike for half an hour before moving to the machines.
Just keep in mind your body adapts to the dosage, so if you don't take a break for at least two months, you'll end up needing higher and higher doses to see anything.
As for CLA, those are essential fatty acids used to pull energy from fat stores too. It's harder to pin down the perfect daily dose since it depends on your weight, age, and activity level; if you don't hit about 3000mg a day, you won't see any effect. Of course, you still have to work out, work out, work out—cycling is your best bet. Besides those supplements, try Tone 'N Tighten. It’s a blend of L-carnitine and herbs like uva ursi that help with weight loss and cellulite. You need to use it for at least three months alongside exercise. I used it for two years, along with three friends, and the cellulite vanished, plus we didn't regain the weight. You could drop up to 18 pounds by summer. So, pick one and see what works for you.

Good luck with the weight loss. Later.
