Dumb questions about creatine

[KingJustin]

(1) If you've finished loading creatine / you've been taking it awhile (etc), and you completely dehydrate your body, do you get any of creatine's effects? Is your body weight going to be the same as it would be if you were completely dehydrated and off creatine?

(2) Bodybuilding/looks-wise, do you look more like a bodybuilder (combination of bigger/leaner) when you are on or off creatine?

(3) Is my waist size going to be smaller in the morning, after I piss, if I am off creatine or not? (currently on)

Thanks!

1) what do you mean by completely dehydrate? Your body is 75+% water if you completely dehydrate you would be dead. If you mean drying out as in before a contest creatine will keep your muscle bellies slightly fuller as it draws water into the muscle.

2) On the creatine.

3) I don't think creatine will effect how big your waist is in the morning after a piss honestly, I could be wrong though.

Hope this helps.

Yeah, that helps dude, thanks.

For #1 I meant "if you dehydrate as much as is safely possible"

creatine is more for energy and faster muscle healing, not just looking like your jacked. it contributes, but creatine alone won't make you look liek a bodybuilder. but i'm almost positive you knew that last one.
