Drinking Coke or Coffee while on Creatine?

[thebackyardcat]

a friend of mine told me that if you take creatine for how ever long, like say for example 6-8 weeks, then for those weeks one should not consume any coke or coffee as it will just make your creatine go to waste as those beverages would make the creatine flush out of your system. is this true

basically can i still drink coke and coffee while on creatine, mainly coffee as i feel it does a good job in waking me up prior to a morning workout.

as for the coke, i just feel like drinking it once a while, don't we all lol

thanks guys

you CAN still drink them.... just the creatine will be less as effective... trying drinking coffee in the morning.. then waiting 6 hrs to use the creatine....

Yeah, from what I've read, as long as you space out the dosing of each you should be fine. I tend to lift at night so it works well for me. I take ECA earlier in the day, then take creatine post workout in the evening. I've never had any problems.

as long as you space creatine an caffine you'll be fine.

Diurectics are not recommended when your on a creatine cycle. Make sure you drink a little extra water so you don't dehydrate your body.

About a year after creatine came out, this was a concern for a few months. They figured out exactly what the other guys here said. You simply need to seperate intake times enough and you're fine. Don't mix you're creatine in your morning coffee

Shoichi made a good point that water intake needs to be increased
