Well, Brad makes a point, it's not like Creatine is going to make you gain any body fat, not at all.

I would like to add this, however:

Creatine works by helping your muscles intake more water....when you are dieting, particularly when you are doing a lot of cardio and cutting back on carbs, you body tends to dehydrate, and you end up p*ssing out a lot of the water in your body. Some bodybuilders use duiretics too, and then you are definately peeing out a lot of your product.

I personally have experienced an increase in muscle cramps when I've gone on a low carb diet while using creatine, I guess I just didn't care, because it didn't stop me.

So...I guess it's up to the individual, if you are short on cash and have to decide between certain supplements while you're cutting...I'd recommend using L-Glutamine, because it can help retain muscle mass during stages of dieting.

I usually use creatine for the first half of my cutting cycle, because it helps me maintain strength while I'm dieting (since I tend to get weaker with less food). I cut the creatine out in the second half, because I've already gained all the mass I want, and at that point, I want to drop all my water weight. Once I drop the creatine, I lose another 10-15 lbs quickly and I feel very cut up. I stay off the creatine for about 2 months, during beach time in the summer, and then I hit it hard after summer is over.

This is just what I do, please get other opinions, as there are several regulars on here that are more experienced at bodybuilding than I am (and it's always good to get a few opinions!)

Does anybody have any info or theories on CEE PRO and it's effects during cutting? Maybe it works differently than the Micronized Creatine I've been using up until a week ago. Not sure. :(
