Gaining

Gaining "snowball" effect

I diet in between gaining cycles. This seems to do a good job at slowing my metabolism. As a result, I haven't really noticed my weight gain slowing down.

The only time I have a problem gaining is when I'm hitting a plateau. Even then, dieting for a week followed by a gain cycle with heavy cream seems to do the trick.

Gaining "snowball" effect

That's just what has worked for me. I'm not a feedee or a foodee, and I don't really have a huge appetite. I tried cyproheptadine to see if it would give my appetite a boost, but it didn't work.

That's one reason why I just eat my regular diet and rely on the heavy whipping cream for the weight gain. It's not too filling for me.

Gaining weight in cycles and the yoyo dieting in between cycles can be very helpful when things slow down. When you hit a plateau, it can feel like all the eating in the world won't get you past it. If you ever hit a plateau yourself, give it a try and see how it works for you.
