Fat burners: worth it or a waste of money?

Richard Cook2 said:Look, even if science doesn't fully back it up yet, plenty of coaches and regular gym rats swear by it. Try stacking Omega-3s with L-carnitine about 30 minutes before you hit the weights.
"To get L-carnitine to actually work, you've got to make sure your Omega-3 levels are dialed in. For your body to actually 'load' the supplemental carnitine into the specific muscle tissue you're targeting, you need insulin to help drive it in.
That's where Omega-3 fatty acids fit in—they improve the health of every single cell in your body. The cell membrane is composed of a lipid bilayer, and whether those layers consist of good or bad fats depends entirely on your diet. When those membranes are built with Omega-3s, your cells stay healthier and become way more insulin-sensitive. That sensitivity is what lets your body maximize energy production from the carnitine you're taking.
I bring up this link between Omega-3s and carnitine because you aren't getting the full benefit of carnitine unless your Omega-3 levels are already sorted. From my experience working with overweight clients, pairing high doses of fish oil with carnitine tartrate really helps kickstart fat loss.
Omega-3s boost your metabolic rate by ramping up cell activity and fat burning. Think of carnitine as the delivery truck for long-chain fatty acids. If you're low on carnitine, those fatty acids can't get into the cell to be used for fuel. Instead, they just sit there and get stored as fat. By bumping up your carnitine, you crank up the fat burning and give your cells the genetic tools needed to spike your metabolism. You'll end up with more energy, better motivation, and the extra fat starts to melt away."

Super interesting. Honestly one of the best articles I've read. A lot of people talk around the subject, but this explains it perfectly.
Thanks 😁🙂
