im up the air about creatine while cutting. Itll help you maintain strength, but it also inhibits fatloss. I havent looked into the fatloss issue too much though.
As for the "fat burners" that question has also been asked infinity plus one times.
ive never heard of creatine inhibiting fat loss eitherRoguecloud said:I see no evidence of creatine inhibiting fatloss. Quite the contrary actually.
well if roguecloud doesnt see any evidence, then it must not be true.Roguecloud said:I see no evidence of creatine inhibiting fatloss. Quite the contrary actually.
ill check it out, that way i can just post 3 or 4 abstracts in every thread in an attempt to show that i know somethingRoguecloud said:Well, at least I'm careful about posting generalities in public forums. I've been a trainer for a while and most of my clients benefit from creatine whether on a diet or no. Also, try scholar.google.com and become enlightened brutha![]()
DNP makes you hold water too. So what.Xtreme57 said:i've seen a couple articles that say b/c creatine makes you hold more water, it may make you APPEAR to be 'fatter', b/c of the added water weight you might not otherwise have...
i usually don't go w/it just in case it's true. I also use that time to 'cycle off' it, so when i start up again when i'm trying to gain weight, my body is primed for it.
hope that makes sense.

but this is irrelevant to fatlossXtreme57 said:The fact that when you retain water you appear to be 'fatter' because of the lack of definition.

true..but water weight doesnt negatively affect fatloss (that im aware of).Xtreme57 said:not entirely. if you are trying to appear to the in the best shape possible, ie a contest or even a day at the beach, why then, would you want to hide your gains with water weight?
it is counterproductive to the goal of looking lean.
