After cats are spayed/neutered their estrogen/testosterone levels drop and because of this they have difficulty controlling their appetite and will fell more hungry then what they are. The energy they require from food also goes down, yet they want to eat more, and so they gain weight.

L-Carnitine is suppose to help control their appetite after being fixed. From what I can see, there is nothing really scientific on the internet right now about L-Carnitine helping fixed cats. There is however a number of cat food brands coming up in the search results marketing the benifits of L-Carnitine with fixed cats.

Does L-Carnitine help fixed cats control their appetite?

That's interesting, I'd never heard of that before. I wonder if there's been any studies done on this?
