Question about creature monohydrate

[hearthstone25]

I've only been taking creatine monohydrate for 3 days. This morning after sleep I weighed myself, had gained 4 lbs which is unusual. For the past weeks I never go above 200 yet I went up to 203 from 199. I thought creatine takes like 28 days to take effect. I didn't expect any weight gain in first few days. Is this unusual?

You're just constipated. Relax man, and let it flow through you. I mean the creatine.

 

[Badger67]

More than likely water retention and it can have effects of that relatively soon. Don't over think it.

i thought creatine gave people the runs. hmm, maybe i should try using it again

 

[Macca97]

It would definitely be water retention. If you weren't aware creatine causes the body to hold onto a lot more water, hence the weight gain.
Your welcome

It's just water retention, your muscles should start looking fuller also. I've been using creatine for a while and haven't gained any weight, outside of the regular weight fluxation one experiences.

Why would anyone want water retention to look soft

 

[Da Beard]

it's obviously lean muscle

Your muscles will look fuller, and I've noticed when I first started taking it I could bang out a few more reps. And its not as if you gain water weight whole duration you take creatine, just initially when you go on it.

Ever notice after a heavy night of hard drinking, being dehydrated in the morning you look more defined?

What kind of creature are you eating? There are many, many kinds of creatures in this world.

I want to know more about that creature too. Never heard of that species.
