hey this kid at my school (a senior) insists that I dont take creatine because it will get me fat. Is this true? Also are there any side effects of creatine.

Thats not true. The only side effect is increased strength.

Yes, what Rip said. Of course unless you're Muscletech and will say that you gain fat with Creatine and lose it with Cell-Tech...

creatine will help to retain water inside the muscle cells so it could make you look fat especially in the stomach area.I have experienced this on occasion.

increase dwater retention within the muscle cells themselves will not make you appear fat - only bigger and harder, in a similar way to carb loading.
Subcutaneous water retention can make you appear fat, but Creatine wont cause this on its own - diet will be the main cuplrit..."Best remain quiet and be assumed an idiot, than open your mouth and remove all doubt."

Creatine has no caloric value. For you to gain fat, you need to take in foods/supplements that can be burned off (have calories)

You will retain some water. It might be slightly noticeable on your face. Mine has personally gotten slightly puffier since creatine. It is what it is. You are going to gain strength and muscle endurance which will increase gains. Its up to you to decide if that is a fair trade off for gaining water weightOriginally Posted by Tonsta
