What if everything you think you know about creatine is actually sabotaging your fat loss goals? Adrian Wells sits down with Jeff Cavaliere to unpack the real science behind one of fitness's most misunderstood supplements and reveals the single dietary shift that torches belly fat without any extreme measures.

Most people panic when they gain 2-5 pounds after starting creatine, but here's what's really happening: that's not fat, it's water being stored inside your muscle cells where it actually helps performance. The problem isn't creatine killing your fat loss. It's that you're measuring the wrong thing.

🎯 What You'll Learn:

• Why 500+ peer-reviewed studies prove creatine doesn't block fat burning (and what actually does)

• The one 500-calorie daily change that melts 1 pound of fat per week without counting macros

• Why visceral belly fat responds faster to diet tweaks than the subcutaneous fat you can pinch

👤 Perfect for: lifelong learners and anyone who's tired of fitness myths derailing their real progress.
