Creatine & Cutting

[JohnnyMalibu]

Is it okay to use creatine while trying to lose fat (cutting)?

 

[Metaphor]

I don't think there is a problem with using it while cutting. Keep in mind though that many people can look less "defined" when on creatine due to the extra water retained. But I've never heard anything about this being detrimental to losing weight.

I personally wouldn't - makes me bloated

but i know some people that do

Unless you're doing a bodybuilding contest it's fine.

Creatine has no calories and will allow you to retain muscle on a cut.

I agree.

creatine is starting to be recommended for older people so they can retain their muscles as they age.

If it can help grandma retain her muscles, it should help you retain yours...
