Losing Weight on Creatine?


I have been on creatine for two months now and have been working out four-five times per week consistently. I wanted to remain the same weight, and just turn fat into muscle. I even expected to gain a few pounds of water weight. Surprisingly, I have been consistently losing two pounds per week, and am about 15 pounds lighter than when I started using it. Is this normal? Am I just burning fat faster than I am building muscle?

I don't mind losing the weight, hell I love it. I'm just surprised that I'm losing fat this fast.

I am 6'1 and 200 lbs.

Has anybody else had a similar situation?

I doubt the creatine has much to do with your consistent weight loss. You most likely are just burning more calories than you consume.

Though, if you want to spectulate, it could be that the creatine has improved your performance, so you are exercising more intensely, causing you to burn more calories.
