Low carbs

[duk88]

Hey guys,

I want to go back on creatine. I'm set on prolab creaPURE, as its cheap/effective. Problem is I'm trying to cut, and low carb is what works best for me. So how do I get the creatine to my muscles without high carb drink? Is there another way, something I can eat that will cause an insulin spike? Will it still do its job if I just use water?

Or should I just take it one step at a time. Scrap the creatine, lose the fat, bulk up later with carbs?

Thanks for your help!

Most of us just have the creatine as is - no carbs. I'm taking my ancient strength creatine pills now.

You don't need carbs or insulin spike to drive creatine in to your muscles.

Ypu domt need to take creatine with carbs at all. Not sure where you heard you do

i think you are extremely confused as to how this works.

but i will just tell you that n2slin would work great for what you are getting at. take it 30 minutes pre meal

Don't over think it bro...

I think that was a sales pitch by a certain brand that puts 75g sugar in their creatine supplement and charges a ridiculous price for it.

Not saying there's no benefit to some simple carbs after a workout but you don't need to overload on sugar for creatine absorption.

low carb diets dont work...going low carb or low fat is a myth...its the overall calories u consume! so count the calories! carb, sugar, and fat junkies are full of crap...u need to watch overall calories(eat atleast 1400-1500) different fruits and vegies are low or high carb...but they are the good carbs! carbs give u energy and keep ur body from eating away ur muscle. healthy carbs THAT U NEED are fruits, vegies, and whole wheat breads/pastas/oatmeal/brown rice.

people who lose on low carb are only losing cuz they are restricting calories(u should also never feel hungry either when trying to lose weight)

the only carbs u need to cut are the bad carbs found in white items and dessert items or items high in added sugar

grapes are healthy and good!More about nutrition at this link https://artscolumbia.org/category/nutrition-essays/

Sounds to me like a starvation diet you are suggesting.
1400 calories for a male? Seriously?
