Re: Creatine?
I have used creatine while on Atkins with no adverse affects. Just pay attention to what you are buying to make sure its just creatine without any sugar added. I've read a lot about needing sugar to help absorb the creatine. Most people say they mix it with some type of juice. I just mixed it with warm water, which I've read works. It helped me push past a few lifting stalls. Maybe it was mental, but it worked for me either way.
BTW. Don't freak out when you start taking it and add a few pounds initially. I put on around 5 pounds when I started. Your body will hold in more water while on creatine.
I just used creatine monohydrate in the powder form. Follow the directions and don't go over the recommended amount per day. You will just be wasting money because your body will expel the extra creatine. From readings on other sites, most people can use under the recommended dose and still be maxed.30/m

Re: Creatine?
Hey 2big! Good to be back. Fell off the wagon and put it all back on. Working it off again. Feels good to be back in ketosis and working out again. Makes me wonder why I ever stopped. Catch you around the boards.30/m
