I heard about that and i don't know if i'm going to have to take creatine for the rest of my life to at least keep the same muscle mass. Amr

After I went off I kept most of my muscle but I was eating well at the time. I did lose a bit of power though.

Most people on creatine see a 10# weight gain due to this cellular shift of water. Actual muscle size gains made training should not be lost though you do see decreased size due to water loss. Theories vary on creatine cycling to control creatnine(byproduct)levels. Since no long telrm studies completed its up in the air.

You will still have enough gains to keep on your body after a finished course. uttiya
