Vitamin C Deficiency Decreases Fat Oxidation During Exerise
These preliminary results show that low vitamin C status is associated with reduced fat oxidation during submaximal exercise. Low vitamin C status may partially explain the inverse relationship between vitamin C status and adiposity and why some individuals are unsuccessful in their weight loss attempts. -nutritionandmetabolism
MY COMMENT: Vitamin C is cheap and readily available. It would be worth a try to at least take a 500mg supplement daily. Interesting to note “an inverse relationship between vitamin C status and body weight and waist measurements . Also that it was a supplement and not real food that effectively corrected the deficiency and improved fat metabolism.
This does not mean Vitamin C is a weight loss pill- only that it may help you burn fat if your diet is dificient.
