Fat Loss and Creatine Monohydrate
It’s time to drop some body fat. Should you keep taking creatine 82? Should you add creatine if you’re not already using it? Let’s jump right into it.
Using Creatine While Getting Lean
The Bullet Points
- The answer is yes!
- Creatine works very well. And many people even have a deficiency 23. Most importantly, it works very well regardless of the conditions under which it’s taken, even dieting.
- Creatine will increase your capacity to do a few more reps with the same weight or help you maintain your performance from set to set (less performance drop-off).
- This makes creatine very beneficial if you’re dieting down and want to maintain your strength and muscle mass.
- Creatine also allows you to keep muscle fullness when dieting, a huge psychological booster. You won’t feel as small when you’re in the “flat” stage 24 of a diet.
- Creatine is stored along with water inside the muscle, making you look fuller/bigger.
- Creatine also benefits the nervous system. It may help with depression 18 and improves many cognitive functions that can be affected by strict dieting.
- Take 5 to 10 grams of micronized creatine monohydrate 82 per day when dieting.
