ruggaz · 12-10-2003, 04:36 PM

I just started taking creatine a couple of days ago - 15 grams a day. I was expectig to see a increase in weight from water retetion or something, but nothing - i weight the same. Does anyone know what this is?

What, what is? Creatine!!!!

You won't gain water weight right away...if at all.

Which creatine are you taking?

Typically people gain 5+ pounds of water from creatine. It comes on gradual and probably in a week or 2 you may see some gain.

Once you stop taking creatine, how long does it take for the water retention to go away? I stopped taking it on Dec. 1st and I lost almost 3lbs already.

All you lost was water. No biggie. If you've been off it that long then you probably won't lose much more water if any.
