    I have been following CBL for quite awhile now, and I backloaded every night, even on off days (I'm the skinny type and I tried to bulk).Now I'm getting somewhat muscular so I'm thinking about no longer backloading on offdays, to get a little leaner, but then should I still take a shake of Leucine/Creatine with my no-carb dinner?I know Leucine will probably spike my insulin, and I have been told to take Creatine with carbs, so I don't really know what to think there.And not taking Leucine and Creatine on offdays sounds kinda meh.Thank you for your input.

    Rather you have a carb dinner instead. If you're ULC, stay ULC without providing anything to spike insulin like that.

    so I guess an Animal Pack with dinner shouldn't spike insulin too much, but no more leucine, and what about creatine?

    Creatine is fine.

    No.

    False.. It's not necessary. But there is no reason to not take creatine basically every day.
