Question

cant seem to shed any weight using creatine to boost my gym work working hard but no weight loss when is it best to take it and how often if at all will i ever loose weight using it

Answer 1

Creatine will help you build more muscle, so you will gain more lean weight. Also, while taking creatine, you will retain more water, so that will add weight. But, you should not gain any weight in fat if you are eating properly.

Answer 2

The combination of creatine and carbohydrates is the only formula that has been proven in published studies to improve muscular performance and weight gain over regular creatine. Many products from several different companies now contain this formula. In 1998, the launch of the first creatine-carbohydrate-alpha lipoic acid supplement, Cell-Tech, by another company called MuscleTech Research and Development, took place. Alpha lipoic acid enhances muscle phosphocreatine levels and total muscle creatine concentrations. This approach to creatine supplementation was validated in a study performed in 2003 by Burke et al., of the Department of Human Kinetics at St. Francis Xavier University. Another important event in creatine supplementation occurred in 2004 when the first creatine ethyl ester supplements were launched.

Answer 3

Creatine is an ingredient used to help the body absorb protein, so you may put on weight as your muscle mass increases.

Weight alone is not the best way to measure fitness.

Answer 4

Creatine probably will make you put on weight.
Also remember muscle weighs more than fat.
