JJ Virgin explains how creatine supports fat loss not by burning fat directly, but by helping you train harder and preserve muscle, which increases metabolic burn. She recommends creatine hydrochloride over monohydrate because 81% of women report bloating and GI issues with the standard form.
Yes, creatine, the supplement that is known for like making you big and bulky, could be one of the missing pieces in your fat loss journey.
I love that you were talking about body recomposition and how important it is to hold on to or build muscle and not just become skinny fat when you're losing weight. This is so important, and it's incredible what creatine can do to support this. It can help you work out harder, it can help you hold on to muscle, it can help you recover better. So So much good stuff there. And yes, of course, doesn't help you lose fat directly, doesn't help you build muscle directly. It helps you work out harder and recover better so you can. And more muscle is where we burn fat. So creatine for the win. And I take it a step further and go creatine HCL for the win because it allows you to get the results without getting any of the bloating or GI issues that 81% of women seem to have when they take monohydrate.
