…yeah I can’t. I tried that once and my creatine levels shot up and my doctor told me to stop because it was dangerous.
My creatine shot up during my loading phase, I felt strange mentally, so I consume 1 gram every day and if I have problems again, I consume every other day. Your doctor sounds ignorant.
Creatine is safe as long as you don’t have kidney problems.
He said “it might give you kidney problems” or some shit like that. People are fucking stupid and everyone seems to have an agenda so I was just like fuck it…
He’s an ignorant on the subject, creatine is safe says the Mayo Clinic and countless other medicine organizations.
Yeah I figured. I’m starting to really distrust mainstream medicine.
Despite several unproved allegations, liver (enzymes, urea) and kidneys (glomerular filtration urea and albumin excretion rates) show no change in functionality in healthy subjects supplemented with creatine, even during several months, in both young and older populations.
yeah dude I believe you.
A lot of doctors if not studied up on a subject, will air on the side of caution because doctors took an oath to do no harm.
I think people hold doctors on a high pedestal, a god in a lab coat. At the end of the day, doctors are humans, flawed like everyone else.
Creatine supplements will help delay age related muscle loss.
You likely don’t need to eat this much to gain weight unless you are very active.
Maybe you are expecting weight gain to be faster than realistic.
Figure out what you eat (calories) to stay at 125 lbs, and increase that by 500 cals. I doubt that is near 4,000 cals a day.

I almost never venture into this section, because I have no expertise, but OP - you’ve literally said you’d rather start taking a lifelong drug than eat more. If this is your attitude at 27, I believe you are not setting yourself up for success and happiness (although who knows what the world rewards anymore).
I’m also willing to take a wild swing that you spend a lot of your time sedentary and on a screen, which would go pretty far in explaining why you don’t have that “oomph” to go chase girls.
I’m not trying to come down on you, I think all this is pretty common; I’m just trying to give you some other things to consider.

Yeah man, it’s crazy. Like some people even show up to bodybuilding forums saying that they don’t know how to gain weight, even after they’ve admitted they gain weight when they eat more.
People really are fucking stupid sometimes.

Just man da fuck up and start eating. It’s as simple as that. 3-4k calories @ 27yo is a piece of cake lol for real unless you want to be that little kid you’ve been till now. Don’t look for a magic pill but have a good look in the mirror. Thats all you need. Good luck and start eating!
