Since I'm experimenting with heavy cream shakes, this is very exciting news, especially since new fat settles on the belly / waist. It's only mid afternoon and I've consumed over 4000 calories, more than 3000 of which were from heavy cream.

I'm just 5lbs away from my goal weight of 250lbs!

In short, some researchers at Oxford University used a method of isotope-marking fat molecules so they were able to track their movement in the body. Within one hour, the fat began entering the bloodstream. Specialised fat cells around the abdomen then absorbed them. So it's true that fat is gained on the belly first, before being distributed around the body, as has been observed by many gainers.
