Take 1 drop a day,with a balanced diet of :mostly vegetables,not too sweet,not to much,and 150 minutes a week of exercise (running?).You should be able to lose 1 pound a week.
so is the cause of the weight loss because of the drop-a-day or the 150-minutes-of-exercise?
Salazar is an idiot. What should you expect is extremely bad science.
Biggest side effect concern w Carnitine ? I'd go with heart disease and TMAO toxicity, both shortening your life.
Diet. You can't permanently lose weight by exercising.

Overreact much?
Are you really suggesting that will happen to the OP by taking a few tablespoons for a month?
I am 66 and my weight drifts around between 129-133. I run about 45-55mpw on average. I started taking 1000mg capsules about 6 months ago since maintaining stable weight is an endless struggle at my age. I haven't really noticed any significant effects positive or negative. Late last year my blood pressure started drifting up from normal 120-125/75-85 to 130-140/80-90. I have a family history of hypertension problems. I checked and some literature said L-Carnitine may cause increased BP. In mid-Feb I stopped the L-Carnitine, stopped taking the occasional Naprosyn, which also may increase BP, and stopped putting any salt on my food. MY BP now seems to be consistently 5+ points lower, not quite my old level but better. Again, I haven't noticed any real difference in my weight or running energy level since stopping the L-Carnitine. So, at the level I was taking it doesn't seem to do much, if anything.
I find that injecting several hundred mL at once gets me the best results. Expect huge PRs. I was a middle-of-the-road 13:37 5000m guy, but once I started injecting L carnitine and bathing in androgel, my times dropped to a 12:58 5000m and a 2:10:05 marathon.
Best of luck.

waaaaiiiiitttt..... it's YOU! The guys who makes jokes!
All of this is moot so far. I haven't been able to get the container open yet, so I haven't taken any. The top is screwed down so hard that I literally can't unscrew it so as to be able to peel off the safety seal.
Sounds like I need creatine!

Funny, I ordered mine from Amazon and I broke the cap opening it.
They're messing with us Kudzu!
