Working out and bloating? Help?

Heh guys just had some questions, I started working out again I had gained about 20 lbs so I'm trying to workout and build muscle but at the same time lose belly fat. I started taking protein and creatine I take one or two servings of creatine a day and about 4 shakes a day as well ... I eat healthy, but I've been feeling very bloated around my belly these past couple of days is this normal for the consumption of creatine and protein? I eat small portions throughout the day but feel more out of shape I don't get it ... Someone help please.. I workout 5 days a week with 25 min cardio in the morning followed by weights ... I have a protein shake right after then about 30 min after I have my creatine drink... What am I doing wrong? I want to gain muscle but lose the belly fat

You're probably doing many things wrong. However, from your post we can know that you're taking supplements and that's wrong. Stop all your supplements...shakes, creatine, whatever. All US federal health agencies warn against using supplements without the recommendation of a health care professional because supplements are not approved by the FDA, are virtually unregulated, do not have the protections afforded foods and drugs, are not recommended by the US National Institute of Health, do not require any testing, are often contaminated, may not even be what the label says, usually contain cheap ingredients, are often over priced scams, have been known to be dangerous, and can have numerous adverse or unwanted side effects.

If you're taking bodybuilding shakes, you are just loading your GI tract up with a bunch of crap (who knows what). Apparently you've been spending too much time reading stuff on the internet without realizing that almost all of the major bodybuilding websites are just out to scam you. Here's one example.Don't use bodybuilding.com. It's a scam-site for the purposes of selling supplements and is full of bad information. They recently paid a $7 million fine for selling illegal drugs. Check out this list of over 60 dangerous supplement products sold with bogus advertising claims which scam-site bodybuilding.com was forced to recall and take off the market here --> http://www.usrecallnews.com/2009/11/bodybuilding-com-supplements-recalled-may-contain-steroids.html and here --> http://www.fda.gov/ICECI/CriminalInvestigations/ucm305494.htm . More here --> http://www.fda.gov/Safety/MedWatch/SafetyInformation/SafetyAlertsforHumanMedicalProducts/ucm188957.htm?nav=rss and still more here --> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oE0qAd-8d2Y&feature=plcp and here --> http://www.druginjuriesfirm.com/Blog/2012/May/Bodybuilding-com-Pays-7-million-Fine-for-Food-an.aspx . Their information is bad because they don't screen it so they have a ton of information to attract the suckers. Now, remember this. All you need to be all you can be is a good and proper diet of food and optimal training. So, now is the time for you to study.Your body has no choice but to follow your brain. So, you should feed your brain a steady diet of good information if you want to be all you can be. It's YOUR body and it has to last a lifetime so it's worth the investment. Don't ask questions of random strangers with no credibility in this or other online forums. Use high quality resources for information instead. The basic principles of health, fitness, and nutrition are not that difficult or hard to understand. Avoid the internet unless you're using trusted sites in dot gov or dot edu domains. The dot coms are usually driven by profit motive and you'll find bad information in most websties including WebMD, Livestrong, Bobybuilding.com, etc. and especially in this forum and others like it. And, avoid magazine and other cheap commercial informational products about fitness, glamour, muscle building, fashion and fads. Don't be part of the "herd" unless you want to look, feel, and perform like the "herd".Use books, especially late edition text books on subjects such as nutrition, anatomy, kinesiology, and physiology...especially exercise physiology. You can find excellent information resources at your local public or Uni library or for sale cheap online at Amazon.com and Ebay.com. Always follow the science. Use critical thinking. Be skeptical and do not believe anything without cross checking it with trusted sources. Grow your personal knowledge base and everything else will follow with relative ease. You have one body and it has to last a lifetime. It's worth the investment to learn how to care for it properly. Good luck and good health!!♠
