Can creatine help me lose weight and gain mucle?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Im 5'8 and weight 187 will creatine help me burn fat? Can creatine define mucle?

No... there is nothing to support that creatine will help you loose weight. It will increase muscle size because it hydrates your muscle fiber (water retention).

but doust turn fat into mucle

will i gain weight and can it define mucle?

Because the water is in the muscle not sitting on top of the muscle (between muscle and skin) it will bring out some definition. Muscle doesn't turn into fat. Fat stores are great energy fuel for working out.

Hey, I think creatine can help you...it may be the long way around, but it will last longer. Creatine will assist in gaining muscle mass associated with a solid diet and training plan. Yes water weight will be there, but after you stop taking it, your muscle gains will remain.
Muscle requires more energy(ie calories), therefore, by increasing your lean muscle, you are increasing your metabolism...

Good Luck

no

Yes...

Creatine increases lean muscle mass - lean muscle burn calories - thus burning more fat ;;; so yes in a sense creatine does burn fat - with the right diet , exercise etc.

but not directly - it is not a miracle supp. it increases the muscles ability to capacatate water - thus creating a more annabolic enviroment, makng muscle grow - it also enhances performance

if you really want to lose fat, get hold of some ephedrine, take it with a fat loss pill - ephedrine was band in april, but with the righ connection, (pharmacists) you can get- it is quite dangerous though

so using creatine i will prob not lose weight but i will burn off more fat and get more defined and bigger mucles? How long will this take to occur and when i stop takeing creatine will my mucle mass go away?

It will take a bit, if you are looking for a quick fix, change your diet and increase your cardio...if you are in it for the long haul, the creatine will help, but you still need to watch your diet....

And if you stop taking creatine, but keep working out, the muscle mass will stay, the water will leave making you look more cut.

you said cut u mean like defined

yep..but don't get me wrong...it will help...diet and cardio are what makes the big difference. cycling off creatine will just get rid of the excess water.

how do u get all that stuff like ur age n reps n that to show on here

6'4
203lbs
8.8% Body Fat
27 years old that stuff

I've read bout people using creatine during a cut and it as helped them to hold onto some size and strenght but you have to go with a creatine that will not make you bloat
