Wits & Weights | Smart Science to Build Muscle and Lose Fat

Should you stop taking creatine to drop weight as a runner, and will it kill your gains? What is the best diet to lower your cholesterol? Can you still build lean muscle while on a calorie deficit, as long as the protein is high? And is body recomp realistic if you are 200 pounds, 5'10 with 25% body fat or really whatever your stats are and your background?
We are answering 4 questions today:

1. Should I stop taking creatine to drop weight as a long-distance runner and will it kill my gains?
2. What is the best diet to lower my cholesterol (omnivore, carnivore, keto, Mediterranean, etc.)?
3. Can I still build lean muscle while in a calorie deficit as long as the protein is high?
4. Is body recomp realistic for me at 200 pounds, 5'10", 25% body fat. I lift 5 days a week, cardio 2-4 days.
