creatine/cuttin works!!??

I like to mix it with pineapple juice though. Lots of sugar and it is healthy too.

Some studies indicate that creatine may negatively affect fat loss since it affects substrate utilization

Creatine supplementation influences substrate utilization at rest.

The influence of creatine supplementation on substrate utilization during rest was investigated using a double-blind crossover design. Ten active men participated in 12 wk of weight training and were given creatine and placebo (20 g/day for 4 days, then 2 g/day for 17 days) in two trials separated by a 4-wk washout. Body composition, substrate utilization, and strength were assessed after weeks 2, 5, 9, and 12. Maximal isometric contraction [1 repetition maximum (RM)] leg press increased significantly (P < 0.05) after both treatments, but 1-RM bench press was increased (33 +/- 8 kg, P < 0.05) only after creatine. Total body mass increased (1.6 +/- 0.5 kg, P < 0.05) after creatine but not after placebo. Significant (P < 0.05) increases in fat-free mass were found after creatine and placebo supplementation (1.9 +/- 0.8 and 2.2 +/- 0.7 kg, respectively). Fat mass did not change significantly with creatine but decreased after the placebo trial (-2.4 +/- 0.8 kg, P < 0.05). Carbohydrate oxidation was increased by creatine (8.9 +/- 4.0%, P < 0.05), whereas there was a trend for increased respiratory exchange ratio after creatine supplementation (0.03 +/- 0.01, P = 0.07). Changes in substrate oxidation may influence the inhibition of fat mass loss associated with creatine after weight training.

Poohbear,
I was just joking earlier when I asked if you had any other pics posted. I do not want to give you the impression that I am being disrespectful in any way. I thought your earlier comment was both intelligent and insightful.
I do however think that creatine should be mixed with a base that has a higher concentration of glucose than either cool aid or fruit juice. I believe the most efficient method for creatine transport is strawberry syrup. This mixture must be spread evenly along the stomach and thigh region of a female partner and consumed slowly for maximum absorbtion. There have also been studies to show that this method is benificial to the heart and lungs as it is usually the precursor to more aerobic activity.
