so I'm probably going to be doing a low carb diet soon but I'm worried about my creatine. Normally I take it with a scoop of waxy maize and some BCAA's PreWO, but I don't see this working since one scoop will put me over my carb limit. So to you low carb dieters, what do you do about creatine?
 
I know.. That was basically my way of saying don't worry about it, and just drink it.

If you really feel you NEED, and benefit from the "insulin spike" in order to make the most of your creatine, then just do it.

What specific low carb principles are you following?

i'm probably going to give the anabolic diet a try once my current cycle is over. I probably won't even need to supplement creatine with all the red meat in the diet, but was just looking for opinions on the matter.
 
Insulin isn't a 'requirement" for creatine to be utilized by the body but it is a plus. Personally I am just going to load monohydrate on my carb up day.

ya, but those supplements are hella expensive for what you are getting. I don't even think sam could make them affordable.
