Gaining

Heavy cream is very sneaky

theprophetcat:
Say, how many calories over my deficit do I need to be with cream specifically for it to start creating fat? I know the rule of thumb about 3500 calories equating to a pound of fat, and also how it's only loose reference, but I'm trying to have it just explode on me one day and surprise me. BUT also don't wanna have to go overboard cause the side effects aren't ideal.

Start with a pint a day and slowly work your way up to 1qrt.

Do you think that if I did that with half and half it would do anything?

Gotcha will do. So far I've had some success with the small amount of heavy cream I've had and the half and half. In 4 days I've only consumed 1 pint of heavy cream and 2 pints of half and half and I def feel softer. I was already starting to soften up prior to this because of normal gaining. I fluctuated from eating 2000 calories one day to 600 another and then up to 3000 and then 4000 and even got up to 8900 one day which is monumental for me.

The weight on the scale went up rapidly from 134 to 141 and then when I went onto the cream it bounced me back down to 137.

See my big issue is that I've got some body image issues so I both want to remain skinny because I worked hard for this (I'm a former fat kid) but also I would love to get back to 200 and just feel all the pillowy softness BUT I also wish I could do it without anyone finding out.

It really is, the feeling of how soft I'm getting really does it for me but I'm just so terrified of getting to a point where I look at myself and end up hating it. I wish I lived alone away from everyone I knew so I could just live out my fantasy and get a nice flabby stomach in peace.

Update since I started toying with heavy cream and half and half;

I am much much softer and my belly jiggles when I walk, my butt has begun to inflate and my chest feels softer. I’m only like a week out from my first day and I’ve only had a minuscule amount. I didn’t think it would make this much of a difference.

Morbidly curious to see what I would end up looking like if I upped my cream and did it a little longer.

Though this aftermath effect has me concerned. I know I’m not in the threshold area yet and I’m both worried and excited to see if i balloon up overnight

Just remember that according to the conservation of mass you can't gain weight from nothing. I'm a bit skeptical that heavy cream causes a gain days after it was last consumed.[/quote]

I think the theory is that some of the fat from the cream stores in the liver and gets stored as fat over a few days.

I certainly noticed that the gain from cream did not start right away and continued for days after I stopped.

That would just be a transfer of mass from the liver to adipose tissue though. The body wouldn't get heavier.[/quote]

I believe when the body stores dietary fat as "fat" it is bonded with lots of water. Some 90% of the weight is actually water. So when fat temporarily in the liver got stored in fat cells it would weigh more and take up more volume.
