In this 30‑second testimonial, the speaker describes a self‑experiment where he ate a controlled 2,600–2,800 kcal daily diet to ensure a calorie deficit, while supplementing with 10 g of creatine monohydrate per day (double the typical 5 g dose). Over the 30‑day period he lost 12 lb, showing that creatine’s water‑binding effect occurs inside muscle cells and does not impede fat loss when in a calorie deficit. He explains the mechanism, reassures viewers that creatine won’t cause bloating that masks weight loss, and recommends any creatine monohydrate, providing an affiliate link for the brand he uses.
