I used to take creatine before, but then I stopped. I'm more natural now. It is good stuff though. I used to push serious weight after loading.

What do you mean by "more natural"?


By that I mean I do not use supplements such as creatine, readymade shakes, pre and post workout drinks, etc. I basically renounced all workout related stuff in favor of my own. I get my protein primarily from animal protein and I use proper food combining in order to maximize my food intake. The shakes I consume are made from things such as hemp protein, chia seeds, almond milk, etc. Gives me enough protein and I don't have to worry about the 'protein paradox' since I know how to work with the proportions.

 

What is the 'protein paradox'? I don't believe I've heard that before.

OT: I would probably try it out for a while if supplements weren't so damn expensive. For a poor college student like me, they are really not a good option. 

I don't know what the prices of creatine are in your country, but here you can buy a bottle of creatine monohydrate for only 10 USD. And with taking only 3 grams a day, the bottle can last up to 2 months. Protein powders however are very expensive (plus you use up protein much faster too).
