Hi! I workout regularly 5-6 times a week for years. I recently gained weight and assuming age related/pre-menopause.

I started tracking my foods for 3 weeks, and I can see the big loss of inflammation! However my weight hasn’t changed at all. Do I need to stop taking creatine everyday ?

I take a scoop of creatine with protein shake every morning after workout.

TIA!

    no. Creatine is wonderful. If in fact, if it's causing you to not lose, it's just water so don't worry about it.

    There's no compelling reason to stop taking creatine.

    If you started taking it recently, it may have added several pounds of water weight. You may also be retaining water because of your cycle.

    Give it a couple more weeks then maybe lower calories a bit if your goal is to lose weight.
