Guest guest Posted June 13, 2000 Report Share Posted June 13, 2000 I wanted to thank all of you that responded to my creatine dilemma! I made another trek to the mall and bought myself some GOOD creatine, one without all the sugar. The guy at GNC (another one) did tell me that creatine does need some carbohydrates to be metabolized, just not necessarily 75 grams of it. He suggested using fruit juice to mix it in. I thought that was interesting, so I figured I would pass it along. Also, anyone have a use for a giant jug of sugar and creatine??? LOL Once again, thanks! in NJ MGB 6-1-00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2000 Report Share Posted June 13, 2000 , Doll, I will live! I had a couple of crackers and they have stayed down now for 30 min so maybe im free..lol I use the creatine in my smoothie in case you missed the post I said let it set for a min and blend for at least 60 sec then the creatine does mix and break down in the juice. Although the smoothies are better if you add everything but! The citricel. I have found that if you put a small amount of cold water in the cup and the the citricel in only stir a little and hold the glass to your lips and let that little bit slide down it is over quickly and does not turn to gel by the time you are finish. Just my 2 cents...babom I think I have follow in Flo and le's foot steps, not out of choice, meaning that soups and yogurt are still my main food supply. I am down to 199, but I feel like it does not count because I tossed everything today and If I keep something down tomorrow it will go back up soooo. I am not officially jumping for joy..YET! Trisha who crawled our of a drug induced sleep, to answer 's continual cry for help (because she is my littlermate and my Husband likes her and worries about her and her Mommy).

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2000 Report Share Posted June 13, 2000 , Did you buy the sugar-laden creatine at GNC? You may be able to return it...our GNC likes satisfied customers, and will take back things that are not what we expected. I would ask.

Guest guest Posted June 14, 2000 Report Share Posted June 14, 2000 thanks !!! I think there are 1000 miligrams in a gram. So my capsules are 500 miligrams, so if I need 5 grams, then I need to take 8 capsules a day??? Right??? Does this sound right to anybody?? Lordy, no wonder I am so weak, I haven't been getting near enough creatine. Isn't creatine in any of the food we eat??? I could just kick myself.
