idk

Answer 2

Could be too much of a good thing.  Slack off the Creatine & try increasing your food intake.  Even if it's only soups for starters - to help keep up your strength.  Potato soup w/onion in it, broccoli & cheese, chicken noodle soup are all great.  Eat half a sandwich with a bowl of soup or maybe soup & salad.  You are treading on dangerous ground taking too much Creatine & not eating enough food.  If it continues, you might consider a complete physical checkup w/your family doctor.  Good Luck.

Well it is partly you, and partly the creatine. Usually creatine supplements come with sugars. And since you say you are taking "Hardcore" creatine, i would assume that both the creatine and sugar levels are way up. Your body lets you know that you are hungry when the blood sugar level is low, not when you have an empty stomach. So when you take your creatine your blood sugar level goes way high, so you don't get hungry. And if you are not allowing time for it to go down, then your appetite will be very low. Try taking less creatine, or just go back to a regular formula.
