Is it true that if you use creatine but then stop in a very short time you will lose most of your gains?

that would suck, plus aren't you supposed to cycle the use of creatine, so when you cycle you would get a lot skinnier?Is it true that if you use creatine but then stop in a very short time you will lose most of your gains?
Most of the weight gain from creatine use is due to water retention.


You may lose some strength after you discontinue use, but you should be stronger then when you started. You should lose body fat since there should be muscle growth. Building muscle requires calories so you may lose body fat but you should not become skinny.
