a. propionyl L-carnitine or a pharmacologically acceptable salt thereof;
b. coenzyme Q10;

7. A method of inducing an overall weight loss in a subject or maintaining a constant weight with a diet enriched in carbohydrates or fats without contemporarily having an anorexia-inducing effect and without changing the eating habits, in addition, leading to skeletal muscle enhancement in the subject, the method comprising administering to a subject a dietary composition consisting of:
a.
Propionyl L-carnitine

d.
riboflavin
from
5 mg to 200 mg
e.
pantothenic acid
from
10 mg to 1,000 mg;
thereby inducing an overall weight loss or maintaining a constant weight in said subject because of increased oxidative metabolism of muscle cells.
8. A method of inducing an overall weight loss in a subject or maintaining a constant weight with a diet enriched in carbohydrates or fats, without contemporarily having an anorexia-inducing effect and without changing the eating habits, in addition, leading to skeletal muscle enhancement, in the subject, the method comprising administering to a subject a dietary composition in unit dosage form consisting of:
