This depends on your diet, exercise, genetics, and many other factors. Some of the visual differences you’ll notice are related to a reduction in size. Remember, creatine does stimulate intracellular water retention. The effects vary between individuals and a lot of people will report the slightly fuller appearance of their muscles. And how much of it will be gone depends on how much you gained in the first place. There’s a big variety of responses to creatine supplementation. Some individuals notice huge differences while there’s also 20-30% of people who don’t notice any difference. In terms of Gym performance out of the 16 studies, the average increase in reps performed while taking creatine was about 15% more than those taking a placebo. And I personally know from working with over 100 clients that the increases in the number of reps performed can vary a lot. Some guys can do 3-4 extra reps while I personally I notice very little difference in training. Any boost you’ve noticed in your training will slowly go away after you stop supplementation. Besides weight training performance and appearance creatine has a wide range of benefits inside the nervous and endocrine system. Supplementing creatine can significantly enhance cognition and delay mental fatigue. Some studies show increases in I.Q, attention span, working memory, and reduced mental fatigue. Over time you may lose these benefits after you stop supplementation. As for your actual lean muscle gain, it’s highly unlikely that you going to notice a huge decrease. This is assuming that you continue with your training, recovery and that your nutrition is dialed in. Any creatine side-effects? Creatine is very efficient at getting water into the intramuscular compartment, and there are some instances of muscle cramping that can occur when too little fluid is consumed while you’re supplementing with creatine. Aside from that, there haven’t been any documented negative side-effects with healthy individuals. The question is why would you stop taking creatine? It’s affordable, proven to work, and has no side-effects. I recommend creatine supplementation even for individuals who don’t do weight training simply for the cognition benefits.
