[@gifford1984]

after watching several videos. I'm a former MRI spec. major. weird you went from fasting to creatine. Creatine is not healthy, while you sugest bone broth. while fasting now your worried about the gut now. Yes when you fast you will have a fecal poop episode. creatine will do more harm, because yes you are storing more water. Creatine needs at least more water consumption than ever it's not the healthiest substance. Creatine destroyed me because that stuff made me gain weight more than ever. Bad idea i would this at all cost.

How long did u fast with creatine? Any issues faced?

[@keanongee2032]

I have started drinking 3-5 grams creatine in (half glass water) x2 during my 8 hour night shift Which is included in my fasting hours 8-12 hours during evenings. I'll usually nibble of seeds/nuts/1 fruit till I get home, Usually eat breakfast pre workout -every second morning then every other workout is afternoon, Both times I have a post shake + 5 grams creatine. I have IBS so I began eating sensible foods/ meals that are gut friendly x2-3 times a day Then after a curcumin & ginger tablet in case of discomfort. I suffer inflammation and chronic pain flare ups. Is somewhat better now i have changed my diet and lost some weight

Could you help me? I can see creatine wouldn't break a fast, but does it kick out of autophagy???

[@peterfilzek671]

Hope to find the answer to this too

[@RVAventurer]

I'm just a random guy on the internet, but I would assume creatine would inhibit autophagy to some degree. Autophagy is activated when AMPK is activated, and AMPK is activated when the AMP:ATP ratio is greatly increased i.e. when nutrient deprivation reduces the efficiency of ATP restoration. Creatine helps turn AMP and ADP into ATP. Therefore, I think creatine would inhibit AMPK activation to some degree. However, this is just my best guess.

For everyone that is asking whether creatine damages kidneys: Thomas Delauer has said that that idea is false "bro-science" from the '90s.

[@andrefaaa]

Creatine is the MOST studied supplement and it is safe to consume. However, if a person has a pre-existing kidney problem or their family have a history of problems, then yeah, too much creatine could be an issue.

[@MicaSmash]

@@andrefaaa Of course, anyone who has a family issue or genetic sensitivity to creatine shouldn't take it. However, Thomas Delauer is speaking to a broad audience, almost all of whom should have no kidney-related issues if they decide to take creatine. There are many things that Thomas Delauer says and does that will have exceptions for some people. Take me for instance, most of Thomas's fat-burning and carb control advice mean very little to me when it comes to burning fat, because I have a super-high metabolism that allows me to diet practically however I want without fat-related repercussions. Nevertheless, his information is very helpful for my relatives who have more normal body types, therefore I shouldn't just discount all of his fat-burning science simply because it doesn't apply to me.

It's quite a bit. If your doing that for "loading" don't lol Take it in a small scoop that it usually comes with. Which should be 5g. The instructions say "do a loading phase" but according to a lot of other fitness instructors, it's not necessary. Just being consistent is fine to have and may take awhile for the effect (weeks I believe) to kick in. But this way, you don't run out so fast, and you build a consistent routine. And routine is gold, keeps you on track. Best of luck!

Hey Preston. Don't worry, take a deep breath - you will get there. Change one thing at a time. Remove all sugar first. Then don't snack in between meals. Have 3 solid meals. Then start changing up your meals so you're eating more healthy fats (butter, olive oil, coconut oil, avocado, healthy cheeses), and increase your protein (eggs, meat) and up your vegetables (no potatoes or corn). Really really bring down the amount of carbs you're eating. Then consider intermittent fasting x3 a week. Drink more water. Start doing a half hour walk each day.
