I disagree, creatine can be used for cuttin as water retention and fat loss are seperate.

Creatine will aid recovery from training and especially cardio fatigue, then once you BF levels are at a point whereby you are happy, remove the creatine to drop the water.

Have a read of this info mate and then make up your own mind

If you missed the bit about creatine and cutting here it is:

Q: Since Creatine makes you gain weight should I not take it on a cut?

A: Yes, creatine causes your body to hold water, but that is a good thing! The fact that your muscles are super hydrated even on a cut is fantastic. I see absolutely no correlation between taking creatine and our body storing fat. If anything, creatine will assist us in maintaining more lean mass while dieting. In my mind there is no point to discontinuing the use of creatine while trying to burn fat
