That's a bit disingenuous. Some studies just aren't constructed very well or controlled, like the China study. Therefore, some studies are just more valid than others. If you can find multiple well-constructed studies that contradict each other, it's very likely that the outcomes are specific to the individual and not necessarily generally applicable. Some studies are just better than others. And if a study is repeatable, it's more valid than one which is not. Creatine studies are almost always replicable, and that's why we know it works so well.

I dropped 13 lbs two years ago with no other changes aside from how I ate, and I thought I ate pretty healthy before that.

I guarantee it was just a matter of taking in less calories than you were before.

Those of you who are here lifting for size, how often do you go to the gym? Do you do cardio specific workouts that don't involve weights? Just curious.

3 days a week. Cardio on off days.
