Creatine Mono-weight loss

MacNasty55 · 09-01-2008, 10:48 PM

currently i just started taking fish oil a multivitamin and have a protein drink and thats all i am taking... i have 2 tubs of creatine back from when i played football but right now i am 210 lbs trying to get down to a more lean 190 lbs i was wondering if i should start taking the creatine now or wait because i know creatine leads to a lot of water weight gain

so the question is should i wait? or just start taking it now?

thanks for taking time to read the post and reply!

MacNasty55 · 09-01-2008, 11:10 PM

y any particular reason?

the weight is usually always water, so it doesnt matter. but also you need to have a good diet to lose weight. so what does your diet look like.

MacNasty55 · 09-01-2008, 11:29 PM

well ive all ready lost 55lbs so the diet back at home was good...

but now im a freshmen in college and the only accessible food i have is dorm food which isnt terrible as long as i keep an eye on what i eat and how much i eat, so to be honest i cant really give u an exact diet plan because i dont know what they are serving every day. i just do my best to make sure im not overeatting

can you eat 5-8 times a day?
or is it like a 3 meal plan

MacNasty55 · 09-01-2008, 11:36 PM

3 meals a day but i have some snacks in my room they i eat throughtout the day I usually a protein bar or dirnk

**allstar** · 09-01-2008, 11:38 PM

protein bars suck IMO, usually high in sugar or something, and you cant always rely on shakes. Oatmeal,Brown Rice, Tuna all pretty cheap things you could buy

MacNasty55 · 09-01-2008, 11:45 PM

yeah probably gonna get some oatmeal or something else to eat
there abotu 25g sugar each im not sure if that actually is alot or not

**allstar** · 09-01-2008, 11:48 PM

ya thats alot

**allstar** · 09-01-2008, 11:48 PM

specially on a cut

MacNasty55 · 09-02-2008, 12:16 AM

well i usually eat only half of one at a time with a water so thats really only 12ish is that still bad?

**allstar** · 09-02-2008, 12:22 AM

Ya, I would just cut them out of your diet completely.

MacNasty55 · 09-02-2008, 12:24 AM

all right, damn just bought a new box! but oh well thanks for the help dude really appreciate it!

**allstar** · 09-02-2008, 12:27 AM

also what protein brand are you using? if you have them, I would eat them, or else its a waste of money, but try to eat only one a day, earlier in the morning/afternoon, and maybe just do a little extra cardio

MacNasty55 · 09-02-2008, 12:46 AM

im using 100% whey gnc protein and the protein bars are promax

**allstar** · 09-02-2008, 08:41 AM

I would probably get away from GNC brand once your done using that. try ON Whey
