Heavy cream is very sneaky

Zora:
I finally started another heavy whipping cream cycle!

This time, I did a bit of homework on the amount of fat the body can absorb in one sitting (about 1000 calories worth), as well as how long it takes the body to digest the fat (about 2 hours). I then adjusted my heavy whipping cream consumption accordingly.

I'm 5 days into my cycle, and the new consumption technique is working beautifully. My previous attempts were difficult because I was drinking too much in one sitting and making myself sick. This also resulted in the excess fat being wasted.

I'm now drinking about 10 fluid ounces of heavy whipping cream, 5 times per day. This is about 1 and 2/3 quart of heavy whipping cream, every day. I have kept the rest of my diet unchanged, and am relying only on the heavy whipping cream for weight gain.

I'm relieved to say that, for once, I'm not experiencing any nausea at all, and I'm not experiencing any gastrointestinal complaints. It's too soon for me to see or feel any physical changes in my body, but I have definitely noticed a change on the scale.

I weigh myself first thing in the morning, after using the bathroom and before eating or drinking anything. So far, I'm up about 6 pounds! I have 23 days left in this gain cycle and, at this rate, I fully expect to have put on over 33 pounds by the time I'm done.

I'm seriously hoping that's enough weight gain to require a wardrobe change!


Keep us posted! 50 Oz a day is impressive! Are you doing anything to aid digestion? Any exercise?

Heavy cream challenge

Seem to have hit a plateau, not much change in weight or inches last week. Hopefully my fast metabolism will give up soon or my body is working on forming new fat cells. All this heavy cream will have to catch up at some point!

Remeron and gaining

Shyfeedeeguy:
Weight gain and increased hunger looks to be one of the side effects of that medication from what the internet says. Many meds like antidepressants and antipsychotics have “off label” uses such as treating insomnia, anxiety, OCD, PTSD, and other conditions.

I’m on one to treat anxiety, as the normal anti anxiety meds don’t work for me but this one has though it is also a off label use. Finally found one that works but it also causes gaining and insane hunger... like stomach growling and hunger pangs so it’s hard to ignore.


^^^ what med was prescribed?

Best heavy cream brand?

In my experience I've found pure cream with no other ingredients or preservatives is delicious! They'll add carrageenan which is derived of seaweed as a preservative and I've found it effects the flavor. Pure cream has a relatively short shelf life on it. I'm in Kansas and AE dairy is the only one I know of that offers cream without preservatives.

How long will it take to show any signs of gaining?

Depending on each person's metabolism it can take a few days up to a few weeks of extra calories to have any noticeable gain. Often times your metabolism will speed up with all the extra calories. Good news is it will eventually slow back down with consistent extra calories and POOF you're gaining weight.
