The Hidden Fat Loss Benefits Of Creatine Supplements

By Russ Howe


Despite being one of the most researched supplements in the bodybuilding industry, creatine is a product which still causes a mountain of confusion. One of those areas of confusion is the weight loss benefits it holds within it's power. Due to the large reputation it has as a muscle building product, most exercise fans are totally unaware that using this product is also one of the top weight loss tips the fitness industry has to offer.

One of the key reasons it is often overlooked is that the genre of losing weight is so dominated by fat loss pills and fad diets. Many people are a little scared to use products which have a reputation for building lean tissue. [

However, recent studies have confirmed that the use of this substance can not only aid in fat loss, but enhance it greatly! To understand why, you need to take a quick look at what it actually does for your body. Unlike most other sports supplements, it's a naturally occurring substance. Your body's natural resources are not limitless, however, and you will understand exactly why in a second or two. It is responsible for the short bursts of explosive energy we require when, for instance, we want to suddenly sprint for a bus or lift a quite heavy box. The body's resources usually only last for bursts of eight seconds at the most, then they require at least a few minutes before another short burst can be performed at maximum intensity.

The first instance of this product making it's way into the mainstream was the 1992 Olympic Games in Spain. Many of the world's top coaches began using it to enhance the ability of their athletes and you can probably see why they were correct in doing this. Given that most 100m and 200m races are short and explosive, by increasing the athlete's natural stores of this substance you would increase their ability within the race itself. It resulted in one of the biggest breakthrough's the sports supplement industry had ever seen, and it has been a mainstay in the sport ever since. In the gym, this increases the ability to push out reps at a slightly heavier weight.

So don't make the mistake of presuming that you'll pile on extra muscle mass just because you use this product. You will not. It's what you do with the extra explosive power that counts. If your current training routine is geared around fat loss program then this will only enhance your results further.

The key reason it was found to be a useful fat loss supplement lies within recent findings that our body can burn fat more effectively if we hold more lean muscle tissue. By helping you to build more lean mass, your body will become much more effective at burning off unwanted blubber!

Further still, recent studies showed it was also responsible for pushing excess water into the cells of the major muscles and helping them to achieve a leaner, harder appearance.

The multiple benefits of creatine are not well reported, given it's huge reputation as a muscle building supplement. This is one of the best weight loss tips most regular gym members, particularly ladies, remain completely unaware of.
