Hi Guys
This is the reason I have gained weight on raw food.
My thyroid was removed in 2003. I am on 0.3g Eltroxin a day. About a month ago I bought L-Carnitine (Megaslim) at Dischem for fat burning assistance. As it is one of the most powerfull amino acids.
I could not understand why I have gained weight. Luckily I came across an article about the effects of L-Carnitine on thyroid hormones. It stated that L-Carnitine is an antagonist for thyroid hormones thus neutralises the effects / absorption of thyroid hormones in the body.
I am certainly not taking L-Carnitine anymore! I am sad because I only discovered the truth a month after taking it! I am sad that i could have lost weight instead of gaining weight! But I am glad I have discovered the truth today and not later in future!
I just wanted to share this info with everyone taking L-Carnitine while taking thyroid hormones for hypothyroidism.
