We're not sure how this myth got started, but a number of people think that when they start a diet, they have to stop taking creatine in order to get ripped. Maybe it's the notion that a mass builder like creatine will prevent "weight" loss, since mass gaining and fat loss typically are considered two opposite goals. It could also be due to some reports that creatine can cause more water retention under the skin, giving a smoother appearance that can be mistaken for higher bodyfat.
