creatine while on ketogenetic diet?

[newbster]

Will creatine convert to glucose while in ketosis?

Ive heard it will help preserve muscle mass in calorie deflict diets, but will slow or stop ketosis? will it aid it?

thanks

It shouldn't slow ketosis down. Creatine will help you retain more muscle mass by increasing ATP regeneration, and bringing in more water into the muscles cells. If anything, creatine is a great addition to your diet, especially when your cutting. I'd look into creatine ethyl ester because it doesn't cause bloating as much as creatine monohydrate.
