LC dieting and Creatine ?
My wife is LC dieting and I have agreed to do so to make meal preparation a bit easier on us both. I have done this on occasion in the past. My body weigh fluctuates between 195 and 200. My main source of exercise is heavy weightlifting. My body fat is approximately 14%.
While LC dieting in the past I reduced my carbs to the minimum and lost weight way too fast as a result my strength declined dramatically.
My question----I want to continue supplementing with creatine (phosphagen-70gms of carbs) and keep my overall carb intake at approx 200gms. In 3 days I am down 5 lbs yet obviously not in ketosis--still negative. I suspect that I will not show to be in ketosis because of the amount of carbs. Nonetheless does this sound conducive to losing bodyfat or should I be doing something else????? I could care less about the scale weight, more importantly I am interested in losing the body fat.
SORRY THIS IS SO LENGTHY!!!
