The Hidden Fat Loss Benefits Of Creatine Supplements

By Russ Howe


Over the last twenty five years, creatine has emerged as the most popular muscle building supplement of all time. However, despite it's large reputation within the bodybuilding community and within most gyms, most exercise enthusiasts are completely unaware that it is also one of the best weight loss tips around.

As far as fat loss goes in general, this supplement is often overlooked in favor of thermogenic pills which claim to speed up the metabolism and help the body to shed more blubber. [

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 the supplement itself won't increase your muscle, it's the result of what you do with the excess explosive strength you have gained from it. For this reason, any ladies worrying about piling on tons of lean muscle mass as a result of using this type of product can lay to rest any concerns.

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.
