Need Tips

[the change]

Hello,
I'm 6'3'' and weigh 300 lbs. Overweight and I will change this, but I have some questions. At this weight will supplements like creatine and other mass builders help lose the weight while gaining mass?

 

[BiggerNstronger]

yes

if you are not currently exercising, you do not need to start taking supplements, even if you plan to start exercising. start doing it the old fashon way first.

Would two weeks of regular excersise then taking supplements work? And by old fashion way could you give some examples. I'm sure running/walking/jogging and crunches are some.

yes

No. Creatine will not help you lose the weight. What type of "mass builders" are we speaking of here. You already weigh 300 pounds. What type of weight are you packing here because when I hear of a 300 pound person I instanltly think of 30% bf.

YES. IF your starting to workout (like he said) creatine will help you in your overall muscle building efforts. MORE MUSCLE means burning MORE FAT. So YES, indirectly creatine DOES/CAN help you. Just drinking some wont do anything by itself.

The supplements i'm looking to use are Nitro Tech and Cell Tech. Also thinking about Xyience NOX-CG3. Any ideas?

 

[WilliamB]

I still say that Creatine is a pretty bad supplement to use to reduce body fat. In fact its almost humerous that you think Creatine will cause fat loss.

Most people pick up water weight with creatine, they dont lose it.

Creatine will help you to gain muscle. The fat that muscle burns is far less than the actual weight you put on in muscle in the first place. Therefore, you may lose some bodyfat, but you will gain more weight than you lose.

Supplements are always a choice that you as an individual need to decide whether you are going to use.
If you are very overweight and currently your diet is non existent and you don't exercise then supplements are not going to be overly helpful, but it depends what supplements you are talking about. You would benefit from taking added protein like whey, in conjuction with a balanced diet and resistance training. A multivitamin would also be beneficial. Others, like fish oil can also be of use in overall health and fitness goals. Then there's things like Creatine, fat loss supplements, and fancy protien/carb blends with fancy names. Bear in mind that some of these get expensive and the value they would have at your stage would be minimal.

Basically, exercise, weight training, and a clean diet with a mild caloric deficit will take you a long way before you need fancy supplements.

If you are really looking to make a change for yourself, you need to start with your diet. No amount of fat burners, protein shakes, or creatine will do anything for you if you don't change your habits. Eating habits and workout habits. There is no magic bullet/supplement that is going to get you in shape overnight. You certainly didn't gain the weight overnight so you most certainly won't loose it that fast.

I have personally tried a lot of different "supplements" to loose weight and shed body-fat. The only thing that has worked for me was a Good clean diet and regular exercise. Give yourself at least 2 weeks of steady exercise and proper eating. That means 5-6 small meals a day. Lots of healthy lean meats, no sugar except fruit and nothing fried. Make sure you exercise for at least 20 minutes a day 5 days a week.

This is a VERY simplistic plan that will yield results. Try it for two weeks and you will not only see, but feel the results. Muscletech and celltech are both over marketed/overrated products. Go over to the 'Diet and nutrition' section and read the stickies there for more detailed info on proper eating.

What about Muscle Lab's Nitro Injected Ripped Huge Mass Fat Shredding Fuel?
Isn't that an awesome supp?

It don´t think it is a very positive attitude for someone with your name to be asking for tips.

I don't really understand your point... He wants to change, and he's asking for help, what's not positive about that?

 

[Vieope]

His name is "the change" and he is asking for "tips"..

It was just a joke.

some of you have things WAY wrong. creatine is a great way to lose fat. and new muscle doesnt eat old fat youve got lying around.

studies have shown that test subjects have added LBM and dropped BF% when on creatine. yes, creatine adds extra weight. water weight. as soon as you hop off creatine it disappears within a few days. yes, creatine will help you lose fat. yes, it will help you gain LBM. however, don't expect your numbers to change. rather, it will change your composition.

but, like some have stated, you need to have your diet and training in order BEFORE you hit the supplements.
