Stopped taking Creatine for a week... No weight loss!

[silverwex]

Hey guys, I stopped taking creatine last sunday week and I was expecting to lose a few pounds because of this but I haven't lost ANYTHING, Ive actually gained two or three pounds!

Can I expect to lose weight soon or do some people retain their creatine weight gain?

Thanks.

Did you notice a big difference when you started on creatine?

Some people say they notice a major increase in size very early on, but that never happened for me so I've stopped taking it with no loss.

Guys there are lots of threads on this subject. Lets do a search.

Yes, gained about 6 lbs in 3 days when i started taking it.

You shouldn't retain the weight from creatine unless you eat enough fish to do it for you, which would be far too much.

Odds are, you already lost it and didn't realize it, losing it gradually, or just never gained weight at all with creatine (Maybe it was water retention from salt)

Creatine does nothing for me. I actually feel sick (weak, sluggish, etc.) while taking this product!

It works really well for most people, so i don't know what my problem is?

Thanks for the replies guys.

Tristan are you drinking enough water (about 6 pints a day) while on creatine?

If not, that could be your prob!
