First off , I ' m afraid that creatine will screw with my weight by adding all that water weight . All that water weight ? You may gain a little , a lot or none . It ' s nothing that ' s really going to skew anything on the scale and will vary from person to person . I will know that my real weight is CURRENTWEIGHT 10 lbs and will be able to adjust my calorie intake accordingly after that week . Your real weight is what the scale says it is . There ' s no eating less because you think you ' re holding 10 lbs of excess water weight . Personally , Ive never noticed any weight change from being onoff Creatine . What you will gain from it , strength wise , isn ' t very noticeable either . It may help add a rep or two here and there that ' s about it . Where you benefit is that those reps add up over time . Is it worth jumping on creatine ? Considering it ' s probably the cheapest supplement you can buy , should cost less than $. 10 per serving . You ' d have to eat roughly 2 lbs red meat to get the same amount 5 g so there ' s no real reason not to . unless you just don ' t want to . It ' s just Creatine , don ' t over think it .
