Will you gain weight on creatine? | NUTRITIONIST EXPLAINS | Myprotein #creatine

Does creatine make you gain weight? Learn why creatine can increase body weight, how much weight you might gain, and whether it's muscle, fat, or water weight. In this YouTube Short, expert nutritionist Dr Richie Kirwan explains the science behind creatine-related weight gain and what you can realistically expect when you start supplementing. Key Facts: Creatine can cause a small increase in body weight, especially during the first few weeks. Most of the initial weight gain is due to increased water stored inside your muscle cells—not body fat. Creatine supports long-term muscle growth when combined with resistance training. Not everyone experiences the same amount of weight gain. Any increase in scale weight doesn't necessarily mean you've gained fat. FAQ: Q: Does creatine make you gain fat? A: No. Creatine itself doesn't increase body fat. Any early weight gain is primarily due to increased water stored within muscle.
