don't usually take it on the weekends. I think if I were to stay on it 7
days a week 365 it might have a bad effect. I have been using it off and
on for about 5 years and have had no side effects. If it were a
thermogenics based product that would be a different story, that stuff
messes me up BAD.

I don't recommend 10.5 grams a day unless you are seriously trying to
bulk-p... and, of course, you don't have or mind any of the side effects
that can come with higher dosages.

I take in about 10.5 grams of creatine a day. I take Phosphagen HP
which
has glucose mixed in to help transport the creatine plus it contains
carbs. I definitely say heavier lifting is best too. Short but intense
work outs are best. I usually finish my weight lifting in 40 minutes
then do about 20-30 minutes of cardio except for the days I do legs, I
can barely walk never mind run after I do legs. Having more muscle
will
help speed up your metabolism too.

Personally - I'd be very careful so as not to take-in too much
creatine
while you're doing all this. Creatine is going to put a strain on
your
kidneys due to the increased water absorbtion in the muscles.
Creatine
will
add muscle but be aware that it will increase water retention so you
won't
notice your weight loss as much - it is also much more effective if
you
are
also taking-in carbs along with it, which you're not. Fortunately
you're
only having 6 grams, which isn't a lot. I don't generally recommend
taking
Creatine in doses larger than 5 grams a day and I recommend taking a
one
week break from it every month or so. Be sure to take in a lot of
water. I
know you say you are, but believe me, between the exercise, the
creatine,
and the atkins diet - you need a ton of water, My Friend. Also,
unless
your
doctor has advised you otherwise, I recommend power lifting rather
than
light lifting - even now... and don't stop the cardio. I go to the
gym
every day - usually run a couple miles at a fast pace and steep
incline
(I
run hard and for a short time) and I power lift for a good hour. Your
cardio makes more sense than mine for what you're trying to achieve.
One
thing I do recommend (you'll have better results with the creatine) is
to do
5 minutes of cardio before the lifting, then go back to 40 minutes or
whatever of straight cardio. Your muscles will appreciate a little
warm-up
before lifting. I supplement my diet with 5 grams of creatine every
day
but
don't care if I skip days and I'm sure to skip a whole week in a row
every
month, but other than that I eat pretty healthy square meals and also
splurge and eat whatever "garbage" strikes my fancy whenever I really
feel
like it. Basically, I listen to what my body is telling me, and I
don't
take any dietary regiment TOO seriously - I recommend you do the same.

Nope, but since Oct 1 of last year I lost 18lbs. From 190 to 172lbs
as of
yesterday. Body fat from 24% to 16%. My goal is 10%, then hit heavy
weights.
Only two things I did...
1. Cut the soda and junk food. Switched to water (lots) and
Balance
Bars. I still basically eat what I like, just not a whole pizza or
anything like that anymore. Did add more chicken and complex carbs.
2. Hit the gym at 4am, 3 days a week for 45 minutes of cardio.
Other
3
days in the afternoon, light weights to maintain muscle definition.
Only supplements I take are 3 grams of vitamin C and 6 grams of
creatine a
day.
