Creatine itself doesn't cause fat gain. The weight increase is likely water retention, which is normal when taking creatine. It helps your muscles store more water, leading to a temporary weight increase. This isn't fat gain and usually stabilizes after a few weeks.

Creatine doesn't directly cause weight gain. The extra pounds are likely water weight due to increased water retention in your muscles. This is normal and temporary. Make sure you're staying hydrated and maintaining a balanced diet while using creatine.
