Creatine for weight loss?

[SoreArms]

I am not sure if this is the correct forum for this, so I hope I don't get burned too bad, if it is not.

Anyways, I am new to the fitness game. I have been working out for about 4 months now and still trying to determine my goals and put together a good routine and diet.

I currently work out 3-4 times a week and since I do not have a good routine yet, I usually do a sort of circuit training where I kind of train all each time, with 30 mins.+ of cardio before each workout. I would say that I am probrably around 25% BF and so know that I definately need to burn some fat. I am currently supplementing protein and creatine. I have been getting some good results with muscle gain, but I also notice that I look a little fatter along the waist, but my face looks slimmer. My pants are also feeling a little tighter.
Is creatine good to take while you re trying to loose weight? Should I loose the weight I want, then take creatine for muscle gain?

I am also consedering hydroxicut, any advise on other good, legal stacks?

Thanks in advance.

depends on what you're using it for...it helps retain some strength but has nothing to do w/ fat loss

Should I loose the weight I want, then take creatine for muscle gain?
it really would not matter much

I am also consedering hydroxicut, any advise on other good, legal stacks?
the AF store has some good products Pseven is one of them , look in my signature you see a link click on it...look around you'll find what you like

Thanks X.

I guess that I can continue taking the creatine. That stuff is good!

I have revised my diet and noticed that I am taking in too many carbs with out realizing it. I am cutting down.
I have read your CKD guide, amd it looks promising, but I don't think that I have that kind of dedication at the moment. Maybe after some motivation from exercise and diet, my goals will be more demanding.

Thansk for the help.

What I would suggest you is no more than 30g/day of carb and Acetil L Carnitine before training (1g) and 1/g in the morning and 1/2 g before going to bed.
Go on with protein and creatine (beu not "sugar" loaded but pure effervescent creatine)
If you adopt these suggestion properly in 6th month you will be 15% fat without starving.
Bye

Would you recommend ALC over hydroxicut or other stacks?

Also, remember to cycle your creatine use. Month on, month off.

There are two school sof thought - maybe somone can clearify - on how to use creatine.

school 1 - you must load it for 3-5 days, and then use it regularly each day.

school 2 - 5g half an hour before workout, and immedaitly after, no loading time.
