Will creatine make you overweight (fat) ?

I'm thinking of buying either cellmass to go with my no-xplode or regular monohydrate alpha mega creatine. My fear is to gain size on the belly. What you guys think?

No. You will only retain water which might make you "appear" fat to some people. Don't worry about it. Creatine mono is one of best supplements you can take.

yea i would just buy a good creatine mono and i prefer a micronized creatine mono thats what im taking now, it absorbs a lot better than just regular monohydrate, but yea freak pretty much said it all, since you retain water it might occasionally make you feel or look bloated. but yea its a great supplement.

what you guys suggest....doing 25g a day for 5 first days and then 5-6g/day or simply do the loading cycle. And what do you guys do..one month on creatine and one month off? Let me know thanks already for the advice guys..appreciate it.

It will not make you fat unless you dont work out while you take it. Like this fat kid i know he takes anoval and goes in the weight room like once or twice aweek and does bench and curls and leaves hahhah. Hes so lame and he thinks he is going to get big off of it.

As for you Redrom usually when you purchase a creatine product it will say on the bottom or in the package when to take it and how often to take it. Plus depends on what type of creatine you get. Each has its differnt effect on people and also differnt dosages work for people to. So if you looking in to a product check it out online read up on it and it will event tell you there before you but it.

great thanks man! awsome answers I love it. I will then purchase mono soon!...=)

Alright i recently just got some mono and this is what i have to do

Loading Phase: Day 1 through 5- Take 1 heaping teaspoon 4 to 6 times daily.
Maintenance Phase: Day 6 through 21- Take 1 heaping teaspoon twice daily. Then go off for 3 days, and repeat the cycle.

so theres one example for you.

(p.s. i wonder why i never get any rep points?) =) lol seriously i help out as much as i can.

For you N.O. i got the same stuff here's the loading phase for that.

Once your tolerance has been established, mix 1-3 scoops with 5-18 oz of cold water and consume 30-45 minutes before training. Use approximately 5-6 oz of water per 1 scoop of powder. Again, vary the amount of water to achieve your desired flavor and sweetness level.

Recommended Use On Non-Training Days:
Mix 1 scoop with 5-6 oz cold water and consume on an empty stomach.
(there is no need for this^^^ on off days as i have disccused and asked other peoples opions on it in another thread. Its just a way to go through it quicker.)

Water retention can make you appear fat. That is one of the reasons why some people mistakenly think they should not take it on a cut. They think they "lose definition" when it is just water retention and great for use during a cut.

You get reps they just haven't added up to much because someone neg. repped you for thinking that big black guy was real. Stupid reason imo but that is why.

[AvRunningBack1331]

O ok i wasnt sure. Why would someone negative rep me for that how lame.

[Freak]

That's what I thought! More than lame, stupid.

[AvRunningBack1331]

Its nice to know you agree with me but how do i get me name under my username to change like other people.?like npc lightweight. And Redrom it shows you are viewing this thread why are you not putting in you 2 cents worth?

[Freak]

You have to post more and it changes to middleweight, heavyweight, and I believe super heavyweight. VIP's can change it. He probably isn't saying anything because we hijacked his thread... but did answer his question thankfully.
