Glycemic Index Help
Creatine-- need some answers?
Currently I am on whey and it is working great. I am going to start taking creatine as well this coming fall, in order to gain more mass and strength. From what I have read, creatine gives your muscle more energy and more endurance, so that you are then capable of forcing your muscle harder, and having a tougher workout, which in turn will make more muscle and strength. I have read also that it is very important to drink plenty of water, and that in order to speed the absorption of creatine into your muscle, it is important to have enough sodium and to eat foods high on the glycemic index. Some of the methods of loading/maintenance phases that I have seen are these: LOAD: For a week to 10 days, with 25g/day with 5g at every meal MAINTAIN:10g/day for about 8 weeks also LOAD:same thing MAINTAIN: a couple weeks, then go back to loading Out of everything here, what is right/wrong, and what all can you suggest involving this subject? THANKS!

- This is pretty much right on! Make sure to consume plenty of water while taking creatine. Also, cycle off every 8 weeks to give your body a break.
