Sun Tzu - that paper says exactly the same thing I did (
:edit: in fact I think it's one of the papers I mentioned): that after
28 days you get the same effects whether you loaded or not. Did they publish any results after
seven days?
As I said - if you load you'll get the creatine in your muscles in a week; if you don't it will take 28 days (as in
Sun Tzu's and the studies I quoted), and you'll have saved 100g - but lost 3 weeks. Your choice (and there are perfectly valid reasons for doing either)
