Love his energy. Been watching him for a month and a half a started intermittent fasting 2 months ago. I'm down 30 lbs so far. He takes the guess work out of it. Thanks Thomas!
Bro its called just eat steak, has a little bit of creatine as found in nature haha consumerism is not always needed regarding supplements.
after watching several videos. I'm a former MRI spec. major. weird you went from fasting to creatine. Creatine is not healthy, while you sugest bone broth. while fasting now your worried about the gut now. Yes when you fast you will have a fecal poop episode. creatine will do more harm, because yes you are storing more water. Creatine needs at least more water consumption than ever it's not the healthiest substance. Creatine destroyed me because that stuff made me gain weight more than ever. Bad idea i would this at all cost.
yes indeed it is does and way more natural
@@gifford1984 but the question is, did you workout during consumption?
Creatine, Glutamine, Cinnamon, Ginger, Turmeric, Coffee and Green Tea are my go to champions while fasting 💪
@@VMOP1 NaCl is your go to 👍
@@VMOP1 you cared enough to reply
@@VMOP1 Maybe you are new to the Thomas Delauer comment section, because here everyone posts their questions, comments, or suggestions, as well as their regular routines.
If you aren't new, then I can't imagine why you would spend the time responding just to say something both negative and incorrect.
Put that in your bone broth
You could just drink bone broth the same way as you would coffee
HI.. great results on your profile pic. what is your fasting routine?
Going through the loading phase and not seeing the scale move and actually go up a few pounds was a little disconcerting but now that I'm on a maintenance dose the scale's moving in the right direction again and I'm increasing muscle mass and metabolism. It does work
1:29 LOL! "We learn a lot from mice, so hear MEOW".

Love how you show we layman what goes on within our bodies and how to benefit from optimum products. Although I don't have gut distress, I will try the creatine to see if it helps me.
I love that you link the medical sources in your description
Thanks for this video Thomas! Been watching you for a very long time!!!!
Important info for anyone that wants to take creatine:
Take creatine monohydrate, as it is the most studied form and best overall. Also the cheapest
I read that UNLESS the creatine you purchase is a German made creatine with a creapure label, that all other creatines are made in china leaving possible toxicities, any feedback or opinions are greatly appreciated. Thanks
Is there a brand you recommend for an over 50 woman?
Thank you so much for the great information on your bodies and who it works
Listen, I really love your direct art of communicating with men. There is an area greatly NEGLECTED for men. Taking the couch potato man and motivating him to loose that gut and developing a home made fitness concept building up to something looking like you do. Your session where you showed your 300 lb. couch potato self was just great. It was in conjunction with self worth before and after getting ripped and how others relate to your success. Again, I really love your work.

Thank you for the awesome info love your channel
I have started drinking 3-5 grams creatine in (half glass water) x2 during my 8 hour night shift Which is included in my fasting hours 8-12 hours during evenings. I'll usually nibble of seeds/nuts/1 fruit till I get home, Usually eat breakfast pre workout -every second morning then every other workout is afternoon, Both times I have a post shake + 5 grams creatine.
I have IBS so I began eating sensible foods/ meals that are gut friendly x2-3 times a day Then after a curcumin & ginger tablet in case of discomfort. I suffer inflammation and chronic pain flare ups. Is somewhat better now i have changed my diet and lost some weight
Exactly what I needed for my last fast re-feed... had such a sore tummy and constipated for 24 hrs after I broke my fast last weekend ...merci beaucoup mon chum
fellow life puzzler here. i like your personal synthesis of the study. well formatted theory. good work
needed this!!
Thanks Thomas!
Thank You!!!
Thank you Thomas
Great info thank you
Yep. Gonna do it nice video.
2:56 I'm not a doctor, I'm just a guy on the Internet...cracked me up! 🤣🤣🤣 I love your content, Thomas. Viewer from SJ, Costa Rica! 🇨🇷🔥👍🏽👍🏽
Hey Thomas, how do you fight leptin resistance and get Ghrelin levels down be it naturally or medically?
This is golden.
Be sure you get a version that doesn't have any added sugar. I recently found a non flavored one that i hadn't used and the scooper for that one is like 1/5 the size of the flavored one.
I'm thinking just eating beef, lamb and salmon on my feasting days is working fine for me, as I'm not having gut issues of which I'm aware. I cook my meats sous vide, meaning none of the goodness is lost, as I pour the jus back over my food. I also break my fast with beef bone broth.
I was waiting for the creatine sales pitch! 💰 It didn’t happen; Nice1 😂👍
Its coming to a video in the future..trust me.
Thanks for this tip. I tried it and it worked. I had gut issues when I fasted and creatine fixed it.
How long did u fast with creatine? Any issues faced?
Hi Thomas could you make a video about Creatine and hairloss?
Great content, love your channel
Creatine can be beneficial on any diet
@@DarkAbyss9 thanks I didnt know that
Thank you
Awesome info brother...just bought me creatine the other day and I've been hesitant to use it due to water retention, but thanks for using studies to back up your claim...keep rocking and wishing you and your family safety and wellneas.
Water retention isn't always bad I mean on keto your body doesn't hold on to water as well so something like creatine helping you hold on to some water helping you stay hydrated is not a bad thing...it's not always just about being as slim as possible having a properly hydrated body is worth the extra few pounds of water
Studies? FDA ? if not can you really trust "studies." When money is to be made - trust is a factor.
@@JF-fx2qv studies along with personal experience is better than the FDA...gotta trust
Hey Thom, I think you should look into Glutamine and Leaky gut. May prove to be a a power combo when combined with creatine.
Glutamine & Various meat broths such as chicken are meant to help with Leaky Gut Syndrome
@@jonathanhadley2555 um... right.
Sorry to throw another supplement into the mix but i am curious if aakg would break a fast... primary concern is does it force an insulin response?
Interesting stuf man. Could you do a vidio on optimising the nervous system.
Check out "Paul Stamets protocol"; take Lion's Mane, *flushing* niacin (nicotinic acid), and Vinpocetine if you can find it
@@paulsegers1880 thanks man I'll have a look
First!!!!! Love your vids bro, always informative and positive.
Is creatine beneficial doing keto?
Could you help me?
I can see creatine wouldn't break a fast, but does it kick out of autophagy???
Hope to find the answer to this too
I'm just a random guy on the internet, but I would assume creatine would inhibit autophagy to some degree. Autophagy is activated when AMPK is activated, and AMPK is activated when the AMP:ATP ratio is greatly increased i.e. when nutrient deprivation reduces the efficiency of ATP restoration. Creatine helps turn AMP and ADP into ATP. Therefore, I think creatine would inhibit AMPK activation to some degree. However, this is just my best guess.
I stopped creatine mostly cus I am training less. But I am fasting more and actually getting results for the first time in 6 years. Maybe I'll reintroduced creatine. Thanks for this.
Why?
Thank you :-)
Hi Thomas, last night I ran into a German bistrot and ordered a grilled pork knuckle. The owner was too kind to offer me a mug of sweet mulled wine. Then I returned home and rewatched all your videos about alcohol hindering fat burning. Will it help if I just do a prolonged fasting, say 48 hrs, to recover from this? Blessings!

Does this apply to the only creatine that has studies done it creatine monohydrate
What the best brand to buy
Do you think that hydromax would help in the same way?
I read that UNLESS the creatine you purchase is a German made creatine with a creapure label, that all other creatines are made in china leaving possible toxicities, any feedback or opinions are greatly appreciated. Thanks
Me. DeLauer- could you kindly do a review of Kacava meal supplement
About the side effects (organ damage) of creatine? Also, products made in or by China?
My question is: For people just getting into keto and IF, how would creatine affect the kidneys that are presumably already working harder than normal? Most ppl are fighting dehydration as it is and. from my understanding, creatine alone (without if or keto) already calls for a significant increase in water consumption.
WARNING!!! Creatine during a fast could kill your kidneys. I had stage 3 kidney failure. Please be safe and be careful.
@@Dolphinsphan OH no ! I had no idea that was even possible. Were you taking more the the 3-5 recommended? How are you doing now? Was your kidney disease reversed? Thank goodness you found out before it got even worse.
@@SG-qm2mm kidney disease completely reversed and happy to have normal kidneys now!
Is it the same with tri-creatine malate? It tasted kind of sweet...
How come NO ONE talks about the negative things that happens to some people and only the positive things? This is an informative learning channel as well as an entertainment platform (YT). Everyone has heard via the grape vine about bad things happening to some people. Bad news is a good education.
The only problem I had was with coconut oil causing muscle spasms and cramps in my stomach and legs....
Good ti know
I haven’t tried that yet, 🤔 might have to
The are many kinds of creatine, which one is good to help for fast recovery after working out? It's usually taken after the work out.
Monohydrate
should i worry if my creatine says it may contain traces of eggs fruits etc... or will these trace amounts be most likely negligeble?
"Separate sachel...." say THAT 5 times fast 🤣
I've been using Crestine capsules daily for years. Helps me hydrate and with strength. Also hels defeat cardiovascular disease. Now gut health!! Awesome!
I have a question? ( nothing to do with HGH ) But If coming off a 16-hour fast would it be okay to take a 1/2 recommended serving of Whey Protein + creatine 30 minutes before a workout.. then after the workout is complete take the other half of the whey protein and creatine with a balanced High Protein healthy meal? Would this help in building muscle? If anybody knows the answer please
Just a suggestion okay but try to ONLY take creation and water with electrolytes and then train anaerobic/aerobic because training in a fasted state is the best for growth hormone 👍 then post workout take a mixture of collagen protein with whey protein isolate 🙂 hope this helps you
Can you drink grape juice with your creative during your fast? Or anything other then water?
Any particular creatine... i went to GNC a few yrs ago and the had a few different kinds
I heard why and how much but I don't recall hearing when?
Any recommendation on a creatine product?
Monohydrate. Brands de not matter
Would taurine break a fast?
I workout in the morning and break my fast a few hours after my workout. Does taking creatine during my fasting windows post workout effect hgh production negativity?
I'm not a doctor, I'm a guy on the internet. Hahaha
Thanks so much!
Man, I've been looking for something like this and I love how you reference Peer-Reviewed Articles!
As for my journey with Creatine and Fasting, I've started IF the past year and a half and done some extended fasts of up to 2 days.
I've started taking creatine over the last month and I'm taking a really cool stack from USN, is there anything that I should be concerned about when taking a stack on a fast over pure HCL or Mono?
As for the dose, I'm taking a high dose because I'm still engaging in HIIT training during my fast or Surfing and yoga on other days.
This is the stack per cap
- Creatine HCI: 1000mg
- Creatine Nitrate: 800mg
- Creatine Monohydrate: 400mg
- Creatine Ethyl Ester HCI: 800mg
- Glycine: 1000mg
- Taurine: 200mg
- Magnesium Chelate (20%): 300mg
- Beta-Alanine: 200mg
- Alpha-Lipoic Acid: 100mg
- Bioperine (95% Piperine Extract): 5mg
I would love to hear your thoughts on this stack and some of the additions to it.
eg, Piperine extract is so interesting regarding uptake of other active ingredients aka bioavailability. -> always have some black pepper with your Turmeric.
Interesting! Creatine seems like one of the more useful supplements! :D

I do IF 14-16 hours daily for 14 years. Change it up once in a while. But every time I try to add anything in like Creatine or Aminos, etc. It hurts my stomach
This. Me too. I feel the same about mct oil when I do keto. Just wretches my stomach.
creatine is man made its not natural, i stop because i was gaining weight more. i need twice more water than ever
So I take creatine after my work outs. And iv just started trying inter. Fasting. My creatine container asks for 33g of creatine a day. Will that much creatine break my fast or does no amount of creatine break your fast?
It might be late, but I hope you meant 3gr and not 33gr :)
It's quite a bit. If your doing that for "loading" don't lol
Take it in a small scoop that it usually comes with. Which should be 5g. The instructions say "do a loading phase" but according to a lot of other fitness instructors, it's not necessary. Just being consistent is fine to have and may take awhile for the effect (weeks I believe) to kick in. But this way, you don't run out so fast, and you build a consistent routine. And routine is gold, keeps you on track.
Best of luck!
Is it a one time use of creatine or daily, wasn’t very clear in the video?
Most likely it is daily if you are fasting every day.
When during the fast do you recommend we take creatine?
I’d like to know too.
Just take3-5g daily whenever...it doesn't make any difference
WARNING!!! Creatine during a fast could kill your kidneys. I had stage 3 kidney failure. Please be safe and be careful.
I got a bit lost. Can I take creatine after my workout while im fasting
Yes 👍
Thanks for no "rabbit holes."
Not sure about that?
@@JF-fx2qv Not expressing my opinion on the content. I'm expressing my gratitude for the overused phrase "not going down that rabbit hole" not being used in this video. I've been critical of that phase being used multiple times in previous videos. It's just something that bugs me.

Does True Lemon Original break a fast
When do you take it

Is buffered creatine as effective?
Little bits over the day?
Just don't forget that some creatine powders contain 5 grams of carbs on them, and some may contain a little more than that.
I would go with products that have no carbs or no other components that may break a fast.
I'm doing water fasting for 3 days ish (70+hours) I only have black coffee in the morning. While I do this I even gave up on multivitamins and soft gels, however, can I use creatine the way you pointed in this video?
yes. go for it!
I've been doing Low Carbs & Keto, I.F & also for the past several months an Infrared Sauna mat! But due to C.F.S I'm strugglying for some energy:-(
I've read about that creatine can help people with ME/CFS. I'm trying it out right now but I'm only on day 4.
@@experimentingme7669 Yes it can help with M.E/C.F.S along with a Low Carb diet, pacing & rest
@@jonathanhadley2555 Eating carnivore diet has done wonders for me so low carb is really doing the trick. And I suppose I already get some creatine from all the meat I eat. But trying to get some more and see if it makes any difference is interesting.

Does it stop autophagy?
Does citruline break a fast?
I think his answer on this would be no, he has a video on a fast-friendly homemade preworkout which has citrulline in it
I think people should learn biochemistry if they are serious about losing excess fat

Did you drink enough water with it and green tea
@@christophersmith198 I had to quit keto diet. It didn't work for me. Instead I do 3 days 18hr fast.
For everyone that is asking whether creatine damages kidneys:
Thomas Delauer has said that that idea is false "bro-science" from the '90s.
Creatine is the MOST studied supplement and it is safe to consume. However, if a person has a pre-existing kidney problem or their family have a history of problems, then yeah, too much creatine could be an issue.
@@andrefaaa Of course, anyone who has a family issue or genetic sensitivity to creatine shouldn't take it. However, Thomas Delauer is speaking to a broad audience, almost all of whom should have no kidney-related issues if they decide to take creatine. There are many things that Thomas Delauer says and does that will have exceptions for some people. Take me for instance, most of Thomas's fat-burning and carb control advice mean very little to me when it comes to burning fat, because I have a super-high metabolism that allows me to diet practically however I want without fat-related repercussions. Nevertheless, his information is very helpful for my relatives who have more normal body types, therefore I shouldn't just discount all of his fat-burning science simply because it doesn't apply to me.
@@MicaSmash I agree with what you said, I was just emphasizing that specific point.
@@andrefaaa Sorry if I came across as rude. I understand what you meant, and it was helpful, so thanks for your input!
Have a good one!
Can you talk about creatine during a dry fast?
No!!!! Dry fast is very particular. If you drink liquid then your fast is no longer dry. No liquid = Dry Fast
This cannot be a serious question.
@@BruceLeroyUK I honestly wondered the same thing like a half a small scoop under the tongue.
Good. I’ve been taking creatine since 05’ 50 g everyday. I feel fine.
@Michael Ellingsworth whoops. 25 pre- 25 post.
@Michael Ellingsworth only on days I train big muscles like legs and back. Other than that. Cruising with 20-25 a days is working for me.

I was having a gut issues til I started taking extra virgin olive oil on a daily basis
TD, You should reference that what you are about to say is based on a new opinion that you've formed therefore it will contradict prior statements you have made where stated taking creatine in a fasted state served no purpose.
It seems like there is a good portion of people (including me) who get gut distress from creatine.
Ugh, I get totally lost in diet and fitness... I feel like I need three jobs to keep up with everything... the last dietician I paid for ate a snickers and printed things off the internet.. one website said I was "skinny fat"... no clue what to do.. 6' 193lbs... mid 40's....truck driver....HELP... blessings to all
Skinny fat sounds like a possible fatty liver, high cholesterol and things of that sort. Since I kind of fell into the same category I started cutting WAY back on sugar, alcohol and unhealthy oils. This has helped me. Intermitted fasting is great too so long as you do it properly and eat nutritionally dense food during the mealtime window. As a trucker it might be tricky --but if you can start an exercise routine that would sure help. Oh yeah, and fire that dietician. Btw, I'm now 59, 5'8" and 155 lbs. I still feel a little heavy for my height but I think that's mostly psychological. I'm now able to jog 3 miles every other day and really enjoy it.
@@ontogeny6474 that is amazing.... I will definitely give IF a try.... it is very difficult in the truck... Truck stops do not have very healthy options... I have started walking and that has helped me drop below 200lbs.... I am tired of people saying.. "imagine what you'd look like if you worked out" ugh
Start out with not eating ANYTHING (black coffee is fine) between 8pm and noon. Do that for a few days and then do 7pm and noon. If you just stick to that from now on you'll already start feeling a lot better and losing weight.
Blame people like Thomas for that. Fitness and nutrition should be simple
Hey Preston. Don't worry, take a deep breath - you will get there. Change one thing at a time. Remove all sugar first. Then don't snack in between meals. Have 3 solid meals. Then start changing up your meals so you're eating more healthy fats (butter, olive oil, coconut oil, avocado, healthy cheeses), and increase your protein (eggs, meat) and up your vegetables (no potatoes or corn). Really really bring down the amount of carbs you're eating. Then consider intermittent fasting x3 a week. Drink more water. Start doing a half hour walk each day. All of the above - will make a very big difference. Wishing you all the best.
has anyone else had issues with stomach upset + nausea after taking creatine? I haven't figured out yet how to take without feeling nauseated for the rest of the day
I’ve tried Kre-Alkalyn Creatine and it seems to be a little better for me with that. I’d recommend slow increments throughout the day but not 5g at a time
That might help! Just a thought/idea, I’m not a doctor so I don’t take responsibility for these two comments/ideas. Haha. Just what’s worked for me
No.
Can I mix creatine with my coffee?
Take it just with water I assume.
It’s best absorbed with warm liquid. I like to drop a scoop into my green tea/coffee at the end of it. Saves the weird taste throughout the whole drink
Thanks@@conorgrace2378. I took it with room temp water this morning.
As the body produces more creatine naturally when you're in Ketosis, is there really that much to gain by this method that you're not already benefiting from?
Vance Tullier Would there be any info to back this theory up?
@@jonathanhadley2555 Yes. Studies from several universities have found this to consistently be the behavior. Most recently the study I read was out of UAB.
Vance Tullier Well I.F doesnt seem to have worked for me:-(
@@jonathanhadley2555 Everyone is a little different. If you're close enough to monitor and you need additional take additional. I likely eat far too much red meat though and iirc, that's a larger source of natural creatine, pair that with the diet and I find indistinguishable differences between ~250g and the 3g I used to take daily. Though I will admit I never went above the 3g after the initial loading I kept daily. At the end of the day YMMV. Only you can know you.
Vance Tullier Well I'm a Pescatarian so perhaps that makes a difference I've also been doing Low Carbs & Keto for a few years or so
Sorry I’m a bodybuilder and creatinine doesn’t do much when you use caffeine because it pulls it right out of the muscle. Maybe it’s good for the gut health though
Maybe good to zero out caffeine
This guy is looks like V-shreds well read, intellectual, slightly more attractive, and rugged older brother.
Does it matter when I take it? Every day but when? Morning evening? After before workout? When on rest days?
Just take 3-5g daily whenever you want
Does creatinine make u loose hair?
How could that be possible? Are bodies make creatine naturally
You have a video on zero saying that it's a waste of money and not effective to take creatine during a fast.
