I was having a discussion with my friend on if creatine gains are keepable or not. He used creatine for a few months straight and he said he gained like 12 pounds on it but then he said when he stopped using it he lost everything. He said you have to keep using it. True?
You can keep creatine muscle gains but the water gains inside the muscle will go away.
bro ancient strength no bloat
Yes, you must keep using it and workout
just stay on creatine year round at a good dose
Eddie is correct. Maybe your friend needs to try working out instead of just taking creatine.
creatine ..increase lean muscle mass ..gain muscle, increase strength
...low calorie foods can prevent extreme weight gain. .. pack each meal with protein

If you are using a high quality creatine absolutely
Just make sure you use quality creatine!
1) No need to cycle it on and off. It is, as Stevesmi said, in your food and I said - in our bodies.
2) Keep it to 5g a day. No need to load etc etc
3) Some of the gains are water. More so with the monohydrate version (hence that name).
4) Read Visions recent 'creatine simplified' post. It boosts the action of ATP and pulls water into the cells.
Now if you just use it, 'fill up with water' and stop using it - then sure gains will disappear. However, if like all PEDs, you up your training a little and nutrition etc is adapted while you use then some muscle and strength will be added / increase. So, again like PEDs, if you stop using it you should lose SOME but also keep some.

If you gain actual muscle then yes you will keep it. If you are bloated then obviously you will lose the water weight.
