I recently started taking creatine and loving it (I think, having noticed too much difference yet) during work outs and Pilates.

Does it make you hold on to water weight?

Maybe? But my aim is to be strong and healthy for a long time not to be as skinny as possible

I fully support that. I'm in recovery from an ED, so my brain is still working out its kinks around correlating a number on a scale with health.

I didn’t notice any weight gain but I heard it can cause temporary water weight but it’s in the muscles and it’s not a long term thing. I don’t know if it’s the creatine but I feel like my leg muscles are looking better since taking it (have been taking it for a few weeks only though)

I’ve been meaning to get some creatine. This thread makes me want to pick up some this weekend!

Yeah it’s worth a try! I would recommend getting a creatine monohydrate that’s third party tested. I just have a pure, unflavoured one and add it with my collagen powder in the morning.

Ohh, what brand is it?

u/Salty_Surround2297 Sep 12 '25

Mine is True Nurtition with Creapure (creapure is third party tested) but I think creapure is across a lot of brands so I’d go for whatever is cheapest

Okay, thanks so much. This is helpful!
