I havent mentioned what Im eating.  Im really just eating alot of foods that are high in protiens and carbs..I have meats, vegetables, snack bars, etc...etc.  However I can tell it\'s going to be difficult to keep up with my protien intake day to day and make sure Im getting enough.  Im going to purchase some protien from GNC tommorow.  Everytime I go in there though them bastards are pushing me to buy the Creatine.  Im tempted to try it out now but I dont know if there are any long term effects from using it.  Supposedly it\'s 100% safe but meh, can never be to sure with a product that is still a bit new.
It\'s only funny until someone gets hurt...then it\'s hillarious.

make sure they\'re good carbs and not crap sugar carbs.  Try to get low glycemic carbs (whole grains, sweet potatoes, oats) or in fruits and veggies.

As for creatine, not much risk their.  All creatine does is raise you adenostien truphosphate levels, which help raise your glycogen levels.  Glycogen is the main fuel source for muscular contraction.  So basically creatine will give you one more rep, or maybe two.  Only side effects are dehydration, and muscle bloat (muscle holding water, and looking bigger).  However, don\'t take creatine with huge amounts of non-sucralose based artificial sweetner.  That can can have potential nasty side effects, but you\'de have to use a hell of a lot.

But you might hold off on the creatine until you reach a sticking point, because for thenext 2-6 months you\'ll experience n00bie gains, that would rival gains of someone using steroids.
