And we are no closer to accomplishing it than we were thirty years ago, during the first OPEC oil crisis, when fusion was one of many alternative fuel miracles promised for the post-petroleum future.

When this runs out, your body metabolizes fat and protein from your muscles and forces the cells of the body to run on ketones—a type of alternative fuel. This process causes you to lose weight, much of it water, but the diet is unsustainable. Because it's excessively high in animal protein and fat, it eventually becomes unpalatable and dull—you'll kill for a bagel or even a piece of fruit. Thus, sooner or later, you'll drop the diet. Then you'll attempt to restrict calories again, which leads to chronic hunger, which leads to binges, and the whole tedious cycle starts all over again.

Many practitioners believe that it helps muscle cells work even when they're not getting enough oxygen by supplying them with higher levels of fatty acids, a nutritional fuel. For someone with intermittent claudication—someone whose leg muscle cells can't get enough oxygen and are desperately in need of another type of fuel—carnitine may be a godsend.
