[mic79]

im loading up with 25g of creatine every reefeed on keto with the aid of ala.would i benefit from taking it post w/o during the week as well??tnx in advance.

Seems like a benefitted. I would just drink straight creatine powder and water pre workout (5g) actually during the week and then load up like crazy on sunday's carbup

Did the creatine help level off the weight drop by a Keto diet. I would imagine that the increased water retention form the creatine would compensate for the diuretic effect of the Ketone bodies. Im not sure though since I have never tried the two together, but I am about to start my TKD/clen cycle for a month to cut hopefully around 15lbs

Just take the creatine w/ some sodium.

Even with the creatine I was able to drop about 2lbs a week. First week when I wasnt on creatine I noticed I dumped 7lbs immediatly but I believe that is normal.

hey i just weighed myself a week after i loaded with creatine and ALA on a carb reefeed.ive like gainned a lb body weight.im not sure if this is due 2 me changin my w/o's or the creatine interferring with my body weight.how long would i b retaining water with this after a 1 day creatine load on keto.

with me the retained weight on the Keto was normally around 2 days retaining, then off again after that, but I would follow Mr X's worksheet (CKD ws),a nd follow hte Day 1 ritual that for me was like 228g fat/ 88g protein/ <30g Carbs, then follow the day 2 ritual, and if you are in ketosis, go back to ur normal CKD variance.


Also, did you find that the Creatine was helpfull on a CKD? I would assume that it would diminish the diuretic effect of the Ketone Bodies, since most people gain water on Creatine, but Im not 100% familiar with its phisiological properties.

Don't worry if you are following mrx's ratio's that pound will probably be gone with a good crap
