Like i said, my goals is to lose some fat but to gain mass muscle ans strengh also. I'm on a good diet and i work for 4 day a week, 2 hours a day. Thank you very much for the help and advice!:)

A diuretic is something that will help you shed water and creatine is not one of them. To be honest, and I hate to post conflicting comments, but, there really is no problem with taking a fat burner and your creatine at the same time. All that matters is that you are eating to support your training. If you want to get big, that would mean eating more calories than you tend to burn, if you want to get leaner, eat fewer calories.

I have taken an ephedra based product along with my creatine for years and have NEVER had any problems with gaining weight or muscle( 22 lbs. from AUG to JAN of this year. 155 to 176 at 9% bf), I am not the only as well. One thing that people need to understand is that the water creatine makes you retain is NOT CONTAINED UNDER THE SKIN, but in the muscle, and that will not be going anywhere unless you decide to cut carbs from your diet. So you see, it's all about your diet. Diuretics do nothing to or for you unless you work with them. I use the ephedra based product more for energy than anything( It can get tough waking up at 4:15-4:30 every morning to workout)
