Creatine On Keto

Okay I HAVE searched this forum about creatine and keto but havent found a direct answer and all the topics I find are from 2003 =s

So plain and simple, do you take creatine while on keto? I am under the impression you need a solid diet with plenty of carbs - something we are missing.

Keto and Creatine seem contradicting so should I just stick to my whey + dextrose?

Thanks!

Go for it. Creatine and keto are fine. Take it post workout, it's the only time you'll have enough insulin to get the benefit. Also, throw a big spoonful into your first carb-up shake.

You can get some creatines that don't need carbs, but even the basic stuff works on keto.

You don't need carbs for creatine.. Take it with your Whey protein.

I'm taking Green Magnitude and am a Keto-er. So far so good. Measurements getting smaller, but strength still up and maintaining mass.

Creatine works fine with keto. No problems.
