Hey all,
I'm new to lifting, and I started off overweight about a month ago. Now I'm about 195 cm and 120kg, and I'm on a keto diet while also lifting 3 times a week. I'm trying to both lose weight and bulk my muscles up; I've found some conflicting evidence on losing weight and creatine. On one hand, it seems like it will help me lose weight through letting me do heavier reps (and thus letting me gain muscle faster, thus improving my rest calorie burn). On the other hand, I've seen a lot of people say it makes you lose weight harder and retain water and fat. So what should I be doing? I'm currently taking 8,8g creatine ethyl ester + 1,6g Creatine Alpha-ketoglutarate (Pre-loading), intend to go down to 3,3g Ethyl / 1,2g Alpha every after 2 weeks, up to double that on workout days.
What are your opinions here? In addition, are there other things I should take as a beginner that I don't know of?
