Fat loss happens when your body uses more energy than you consume, and this is best done with a balanced diet, exercise, and healthy lifestyle habits, not just supplements. Consult a healthcare professional before starting any supplements.
-Consume portion-controlled meals and focus on whole grains, dals, vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats.
-Avoid high-calorie processed foods, sugary treats, bakery items, and sugary drinks as they provide empty calories and less nutrition.
-Practice daily physical activity, start with brisk walking for 20–30 minutes daily and gradually include strength training. Exercise helps burn fat and keeps muscles strong.
-Get food quality sleep (7–8 hours) and manage stress with techniques like yoga or meditation.
-Stay consistent as weight and fat loss is gradual and aim for 2–4 kg weight loss in six months for sustainable results.

L-Carnitine works best with exerciseâespecially cardio. Without activity, its effect on belly or visceral fat is minimal.
At 21 and 59 kg, you likely donât need supplements. Focus on a balanced diet, hydration, and even light movement for best results.

Hi
L-carnitine, is only a vehicle that carries fat into the cells to be utilised for energy production. If you don't exercise or eat in a calorie deficit, its not gonna work by itself.

If you're sedentary, your body's demand for fat burning is low.
L-carnitine won’t have enough of a stimulus (like muscle movement or energy demand) to work.
Multiple studies show minimal to no fat loss with L-carnitine alone, especially without lifestyle changes.
✅ What Actually Helps Reduce Visceral Fat:
1. Calorie control (healthy diet)
2. Physical activity (even brisk walking helps)
3. Sleep & stress management
4. Resistance training + cardio (best combo for visceral fat)
Bottom Line:
No, taking L-carnitine without exercise will not significantly reduce visceral fat. If you're not ready for intense workouts, start with daily walks and dietary changes — you'll get much better results.
