Thanks for the dietting tips. As for your view on creatine, I'm not sure I agree. Of course it all depends on the dosage, which will directly affect the amount of water you need to drink daily. I don't completely disagree though, and I can understand peoples distaste for it. I am naturally skinny though, which is sort of why I considered creatine in the first place. I can't imagine someone looking overly bloated from creatine to be honest. I've seen a body on some seriously tough steroids after a couple of weeks of working out, and THAT looked bloated like hell. The user was naturally very skinny though, and imo overdosed on that stuff like crazy. Besides, I don't mind looking a little bloated for a period of time if it means my muscles will grow and benefit from it.
I'm gonna look into it some more before buying it though, there's got to be a bunch of trustworthy studies on creatine. Everything is expensive where I live though, especially meat containing the most protein. I don't really like tuna which is a shame, but I know they sell tuna with added flavour which actually tastes pretty good, if you put it on a cracker or something.
