    I don't believe so. I am under the impression that a lot of the weight creatine is responsible for adding is water weight.

    no the weight gained is superficial water weight that will drop off within 3 weeks of when you stop taking it. All other weight gained will be mass. there is no studys that i know of showing fat gain while taking creatine.

    Low fat diets are far more productive essentially than low-carb diets.
