Hi - I'd like to know what's considered to be a couple of the best, safest, healthiest creatines available. I have NOT been thrilled with the 2 pill-form creatine CEE's that I've used. I think the powder form has worked better for me in the past but I don't want something with a ton of sugar...

Hey Kabeetz. . . . . .I'm waitin' for you to respond man! Can you add any more insights in regards to my previous quote below? Thanks man!

Dude, I really appreciate your insights and opinions. That's totally what Im' looking for. I don't want to bore the hell out of you, but, if you get a chance to read my rambling below (including today's diet) and give me your 2 cents, it would be much appreciated. My life is a little...

Why do you say that about Muscle Milk? Just curious. I am currently using 3 different protein powders: 1.Bioplex Pure Whey Protein Isolate (taste bland, but, the only ingredient is whey protein isolate so I figure it's the healthiest protein shake you can possibly have) 2. Muscle Milk 3...

Cool - but how far in advance of my workout should I do the pre-workout meal? About an hour? This is my typical day: 7:30 a.m. Steel-cut oatmeal w/ 1 splenda & cinnimon. 4 scrambled egg whites w/ 1 egg yolk & some salt/pepper. Piece of fruit (grapes or orange) 10:30 a.m. Cottage Cheese...

I just bought some Pure CEE Creatine. The instructions call to have 3 capsules with preferably high glycemic carbs before working out. I have 3 questions: 1. How far before the workout should I be taking the CEE (1/2 hour, 1 hour?) 2. If I need to take high glycemic with it, can anyone...

Thanks man.

So you think the 1/2 & 1/2 is cool, as long as it's just that one time in the morning and I'm pretty good on the saturated fats the rest of the day? Also, when everyone refers to "cutting", is that a general term for losing weight, or does it truly refer to more of a high rep, low weight...

Oh man. . . .coffee is the one thing I like to splurge on in the mornings. I'm addicted to my large cup with roughly 2 tablespoons of half & half & 4 splendas. Please don't take the 1/2 & 1/2 and splenda away from me!!! Is this one splurge of fat/sugar in the morning really going to hinder my...

I think Muscle Milk (especially Chocolate & Banana flavors) makes by far the only truly yummy protein powders. They truly taste like something you'd have just because it tasted great. Even with non-fat milk, they taste like a real milkshake. (not cheap though)

Actually, go read the documentary "Fast Food Nation" or watch the watered-down movie version (same title) and you will never, ever eat at a fast-food establishment again. For that matter, you'll be a little paranoid about eating meat from the grocery store all together. Just a little example...

Well, I guess my point wasn't really about losing weight. I want the creatine or ZMA to gain muscle mass. I eat well and I do hard cardio 2-3 times per week. But, I figure if I can put on some more muslc mass, my body will burn fat faster as well. That's why I asked the question about...

Which is more effective, healthier and why? Can anyone shed some light on this? I'm 5'-9", 157 lbs. Body fat is about 17% but I'd like to get it down to about 12%. I want to bulk up a bit, but, I mainly want to get really cut. I like that chiseled look a lot more than the beefy look...

I must admit that the whole process of making protein shakes, etc. gets real tiresome at times. If I took 5 days worth of creatine and threw it into 40 ounces of grape juice and refridgerated it, could I shake and drink 8 ounces of that mixture each day throughout the week? Or does the...
