Gaining

Starting gain

Heavy whipping cream works wonders. Someone on this site referred to it as "magic blimp juice," and I agree with that statement. As an added bonus, I have observed that it is one of the cheapest ways to get fatter.

The body can only absorb about 1000 calories from fat per sitting. This is the amount of calories contained in about 295 mL of heavy whipping cream.

After some experimentation, I found that drinking about 295 mL of heavy whipping cream, four times per day, was optimal for me. It's important to space out the drinks as much as possible to give your body time to absorb the fat.

Heavy whipping cream can be difficult to drink straight. Some people mix it with syrup. I did not do that. I just chased the heavy whipping cream with juice. In my case, the juice provided an additional bonus. My normal diet is low-carb, and some days brought me close to ketosis. The added juice ensured that I was getting enough calories from carbs to avoid ketosis, which would have been counter-productive.

To gain weight in a healthy way, I ate a healthy, nutritious diet. I relied only on the heavy whipping cream for weight gain. I gained weight in 4-week cycles, with a 1-week break in between.

Using this technique, I was able to gain about 9 kilos over the course of my 4-week gaining cycle.

If you decide to use heavy whipping cream for weight gain, it's important to listen to your body. I provided suggestions, but your body's needs may be different. It also takes a little time for your body to adjust to all the fat in heavy whipping cream.

Give yourself a week to see how your body responds to the heavy whipping cream. If after a week you experience nausea, gas, bloating, cramps, or other signs of gastrointestinal discomfort, then you're consuming more fat than your body can handle. In that case, try reducing the amount that you drink in one sitting, and/or the number of times that you drink it per day. Find what works for you.

I wish you the best in your weight gain journey. Happy gaining!
