Hi BellyBuilder,
It varies a bit. Most people experience a delay in gains. When I initially used heavy cream, I did not experience the delay, but I think that was due to my inability to process fats.
The time it takes to develop stretch marks varies. It depends on your initial weight, your tendency to develop stretch marks, and supplements you may be taking. Vitamins A & C can potentially prevent stretch marks. Vitamin C supports collagen production, and vitamin A can help rebuild collagen in the skin.
Now that I have addressed some health issues and repaired my body's ability to process fats, I did experience a delay. It took me 16 days to start seeing changes on the scale, but it could take as much as 3 or 4 weeks.
