Is creatine good for pcos weight loss?

Struggling with weight loss due to PCOS, it's really frustrating. My trainer suggested I look into creatine to help with my workouts. Can creatine specifically help with PCOS-related weight loss?

Actually creatine is more for muscle strength, yaar. It can sometimes cause water weight initially, which might make you feel like you gained weight on the scale. For pure weight loss with PCOS, focus on a calorie deficit and gym workouts instead.

I am also struggling with PCOS weight gain and wanted to know about this. Does creatine actually burn fat, or does it just help you lift heavier weights? If anyone has tried it personally, please let me know.

Creatine helps with cellular energy, which can support your workouts, but it's not a fat burner. If your gynaecologist says your kidneys and liver are fine, you can use it alongside regular strength training and brisk walking to see results.

For weight issues in PCOS, I feel natural ways like drinking warm lemon-honey water and eating less processed food are best. But if you have severe fatigue or irregular periods, please don't experiment with fitness powders. Go see a good doctor.

I tried everything from spearmint tea to cinnamon for my PCOS weight, so I get how frustrating this is. Creatine might help your gym performance, but honestly, sustainable weight loss comes from consistent home-cooked food and stress management.

Haan na, weight loss with PCOS is already such a slow process. If we take creatine, the scale might go up due to water retention and then we will feel demotivated, ho na? Better to ask your doctor if it is really needed.

Before spending 1500-2000 rupees on a tub of creatine, it is better to spend that budget on an insulin resistance test and thyroid profile. Knowing your actual lab reports will save you money and get you the right treatment.
