    @liltysonn creatine is naturally produced by the body, so if you take creatine supplements, excess amounts will be excreted. So, body water weight plays a minimal role. Also, you wouldn't lose muscle mass by decreasing your caloric intake unless you chronically starve yourself for extended periods of time (we're talking months). Your body will resort to breaking down fat before protein.

    Not at all.

    Creatine is naturally produced (and can be got from some food sources, primarily meat), but not in the quantities it can fully utilize.

    You definitely can lose muscle mass without starving yourself for months at a time.

    Fantastic info - thanks for the post! I hope more new people just starting out find it before the "HELP! I'M NOT LOSING!!!" post begins......

    I sure wish that I had read this when I first was starting out rather than discovering 106 days later. Fortunately through trial and error and some reasonable advice from other forums I am doing most of what you recommend now. Sadly I didn't take any fat boy pictures at the beginning. More's the pity. This should be a must read for every newbie.
