there's no evidence to really show whether a cycle is needed or not. That being said, I do cycle creatine just to be on the safe side. 2 months on, 1 off. Also, I don't load, it's not necessay

When you are taking it do you take it everyday or just before or after lifting. I am looking to start taking it and need to loose a few pounds and was not sure if it would slow down fat loss

It wont slow down fat loss, drink tons of water though.

Don't see why it would slow down fat loss. If anything, it helps you retain LBM.

Creatine will ENHANCE fat loss due to the fact it increases lean muscle tissue.

Load means taking an increased amound of the dosage during the initial stage of consuming the product.

14lbs in 3 weeks is a great gain. Wow.

i have had the same question, i only take my creatine an hour before my work out, thats probably why i vahe not gained so much weight (water) i only use it as a enrgy provider i guess, but yeah when is it that most of u , the ones who take it, drink the creatine? everyday or just when workin out?

I just take an hour before my workouts. I don't take everyday, but am going to start as of today. I been planning on it but been busy with other stuff, so today is my first day to take it on an off day.

i think that is the best way to get results, but i think im staying how im cause the day i stop takin creatine ill loose most of my sieze or so some people have been tellin me.............but w/e iv only gained some pounds of water. and i know this because when i enter the gym am a certain amount of weight and when i get out am a different one.... i guess i want to grow naturally but just with a tiny help from suplements
