Drink more water.

Supplemental creatine is nothing more then the amino acids glycine, arginine, and methionine synthesized together. It can not contribute to fat loss or fat gain.

The only thing I can think of is that you are not using a stand alone creatine product and instead are using a creatine product that has a lot of carbohydrates and sugars added. Carefully read the ingredients.

I personally use Ancient Strength from n2bm.com as a stand alone creatine product. http://needtobuildmuscle.com/store/Ancient-Strength-p273.html

Looks to me like you are just getting bloated, which can be solved with more water intake. Maybe there are some other supplements that you are taking and could be causing the issue? Some protein perhaps?

This issue is common with straight monohydrate. Check out ancient strength...or a creatine blend. I never get bloated from as....and I'm a girl

 

[stevesmi]

yeah you are using an inferior product

That is a lot of water weight buddy. Bad creatine is the culprit plus monohydrate does cause some bloat but it goes away after a few days when your body gets used to the extra creatine.

Creatine will not cause fat gain. Check out this article that we have here on EVO... http://www.evolutionary.org/creatine-supplementation-use I would make sure you are using a quality product like Ancient Strength from N2BM...

The serving amount is 3 tablets and in typical N2BM fashion you get a 30 day supply, so about 90 tabs.
Each serving of three tabs contains:


Creatine Monohydrate………………………………….4,551mg
Creatine HCL……………………………………………300mg
Creatine Pyruvate………………………………………150mg
