Hi all pro and expert out there, i've been started to workout for over 2 months. Last month i was using 100% Whey Protein and i did not gain much weight and my friend introduce me to use 100% creatine monohydrate. I have been using for few days.
My question was can creatine replace what protein does? Or should it be used together? My objective was to gain muscle fast..any way of doing so?

No creatine does not replace protein....it is two completely different things. My suggestion is to use both of them with a few other things if your income allows so. Here is some things that i would recommend you take:
Creatine: I would suggest looking for CEE...look it up in the store part of this site.
Protein: I use ON 100% Whey Protein
Flaxseed Oil: You can choose which kind you want. I forget what i have.
Multi Vitamins: I use mega men from GNC but again this site sells go multi vitamins. Dont get Animal Stack though cuz its just too many pills for the same amount of stuff youll get from taking two of another brand.
BCAA: Amino Acids...again look to see what kind you want.
These are just a few of the basic supplements that you can take for a basic stack.
For the protein, be sure to consume 1.5 grams of protein per every pound of body weight and dont try to get all of your protein from just the shakes. Eat foods that contain alot of protein.
Also up your intake of Carbs. (Carbohydrates) make sure they are good carbs not carbs that you get from sugars.
This is just a few things to recommend. Im sure many ppl will reply to this and add on, so i hope this helps a little......Good luck with your bodybuilding lifestyle....you'll never regret itFOR SALE: Iraqi rifle. Never fired. Dropped once.

So NO isn't suitable for me? I just want fast gain for now.
My weights were 66.5kg and i'm 173cm tall.
btw, i'm currently having a bottle of creatine. Just started using it for 3 days. I just know i have to perform the loading phase for the first week then back to the maintenance phase for the following weeks.
So, i should get a 100% whey protein, fish oil (this is good for everyone even non bodybuilders am i right?) and vitamins?

Whey Protein, Creatine, Mutlti Vitamin, Fish or Flax Oil.
If you're just starting to train for the first time, and you're doing it correctly, you ought to be able to get some pretty good gains in your first six months.
Just remember that 2/3 of your body's mass is in your legs and back, so you want to do multi joint exercises (squats, leg presses, deadlifts) to gain weight/muscle. Nobody ever gained a ton weight by doing biceps/triceps and chest (the other 1/3 of your body's weight).
Make sure you're eating enough protein and carbs daily. Proper nutrition will help you recover and grow faster. At least 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight (don't know how to convert that to kilo's for you).
Review some of the "stickys" in the nutrition section and workout routine sections of this forum and you'll find some pretty valuable information."I've gotta say what I've gotta say and then I swear I'll go away, but I can't promise you'll enjoy the noise"

I didn't do much on the leg (probably once every 3 weeks?), but i did workout for my back once every week.
i didn't know that 1gram of protein per pound for my weight. I thought it was 1 gram/kg?
btw, what about carbs? where do i get good carbs? what is considered bad carbs besides sugar?

Oh.....my.....gosh.
Can Creatine replace Protein?!? Maybe if you researched for about 5 minutes, you could realize how absolutely freakin' retarded that question is. I know you're a beginner and all, but hell man, stop coming to a forum and expecting to be spoon-fed everything. Do some damn research.Rolling to Victory.

Also, i wasn't feeling quite right after an hour of consuming creatine. I suddenly had no appetite and a slight feeling of vomitting. but that would last about 1-2 hours. Does that happens to everyone?

dude i was new once too, however i never asked such retarded questions. goto www.bodybuilding.com and read bigcats articles on nutrition and training, then if you still have these same questions, read it again and dont bother asking questions that my 12 year sister could answer

Creatine and Protein
Hi peeps, just to add on to what Spikey said, I bought myself ON's 100% Whey and HP's Whey as well and some AST Micronized Creatine. Now my question is, can I drink the protein and creatine TOGETHER right after my workout? Or should I drink them separately e.g. Take creatine wait 1/2 hour then take protein?
