If you want to lose fat, and become leaner, Creatine can help. here is my thoughts on it. Creatine can make you increase 5-10lbs of water weight, this will be in your muscles. it also aids in helping you lift heavier weights. This will overall help in adding some lean mass to you. adding Muscle increases your metabolism, so you will burn more calories, which can help in leaning you out. there are other benefits from Creatine, as in, better recovery time, and more intense workouts, so use it, cycle on it for 2-3 mnths, then go off for a month, and evaluate if your leaner. If so, you know its helping.
