Recently I've been considering taking Acetyl L-Carnitine to boost? dry fasted weightloss. My reasoning comes from Carnitine and how it works inside the body. It makes you retain musculoskeletal water and helps with mitochondrial health and energy (fat) absorption.
So.
With some water in the muscles, would the metabolic water in fat still be converted as if in dry fasted ketosis. Or maybe you just hold onto the water and lose what you would on just regular fasting since water is running through your system and no adipose water would be converted?
If I were to make a routine where I introduce Carnitine, it would be after 24 hours dry fasted, mix snake juice with Carnitine supplement, next 48 hours dry fasted.
I do not encourage anyone to try it, this is all purely speculative. It'd be cool to see Cole Robinson do it tho.
Would love to hear your thoughts on the matter.

L Carnitine works ok orally and is amazing injectable im. The body is cleansing and detoxing during fasting. You already loose 3-4 lbs a day dry fasting. Just did 5 days dry lost 17 lbs. keep listening to the body
