Hey,
I did do a search but i never got a straight out answer out of any of the posts. Will taking Creatine while cutting prohibit weight loss? I was planning on taking creatine and glutamine. Im already takin protien and flax. Also when i would i take it? Pre-Workout or post workout or both? I was told to take teh glutamine before/after working out and before bed? Also does anyone reccomend any brands of creatine and glutamine? Thanks!

It won't inhibit weight loss, but you'll probably retain a bit more water that you would if you weren't taking creatine.

your primary concern on a cut if fat loss, not weight loss per se.
so while on your cut you will continue to lose bodyfat, however the creatine may make you retain some water

If you read the creatine sticky or do a search you'll see that question has been answered too many times to count.

Don't cycle it.

I am cutting now with an EC stack and I take creatine+dextrose at night. I am having a very successful cut so far, I am even retaining muscle mass pretty nicely.
