Re-gaining with heavy cream

Sounds like some great progress! Would like to know how this continues as well smiley

I'm a fan of heavy cream, the taste and the thicc texture and most importantly it's gaining power 😋

Re-gaining with heavy cream

I'm definitely a believer in heavy whipping cream. I'm a hard gainer, and heavy whipping cream is really the only thing that has worked for me well. I initially started gaining at 166 pounds, and currently weigh 230 pounds.

I had about the same starting point, maybe I could also get up to 230 one day! I agree heavy cream makes for some delicious nearly effortless gains (I make shakes with that and some frozen fruits and it tastes really nice) and just mindlessly sip on it while working on things smiley

Re-gaining with heavy cream

I'm doing exactly this right now. I had a few months of gaining about a year ago. I used heavy cream since I'm normally on the skinny side and it is very difficult for me to gain to begin with. I gained about 30-35lbs before I plateaued. From about 150ish to 180-185ish lbs. Then I couldn't seem to get passed that no matter got hard I tried.

I took a break of a few months. I did drop about 10 or so lbs at first. But then realized recently I gained back up to about 180ish without even trying. So I am now trying to gain again. Heavy cream being my go to for getting a surplus of calories everyday. It's only been going on 2 weeks and already I can notice and feel gained. With the scale creeping up to 190. I think stopping from time to time helps with gaining. At least for me. It let's the body get used to the higher weight and then be ready to gain more. I guess we shall see. But, I for sure can tell it's working quite well. Best of luck to everyone else too!

Re-gaining with heavy cream

I haven't regained, but I have been losing while consuming a lot of cream. Basicsally after a type 2 diabetes diagnosis I heavily cut out carbs from my diet (I have a little bit, but all low glycemic index). It turns out that carbs was a huge amount of my calorie intake, so although I've been adding fat and protein like crazy my weight has dropped by over thirty pounds in five months. A lot of that fat has come from cream (more often table cream (18% fat) rather than heavy cream (35% fat), but occasionally the latter.

What has been interesting to me is that I've lost most of the weight in visceral fat, I had quite a large ball belly, to the extent that I ended up with abdominal muscle separation like pregnant women often get. That has gone down very substantially (about four inches off my waist), but the subcutaneous fat seems about as abundant as ever. With less ball belly under it, in many ways my remaining gut looks flabbier than when I was at my heaviest. I feel sad to be this much smaller, but at the same time I'm glad to still have a fair bit of softness.

Anyway, I thought it was interesting to see how cream could help re-sculpt the body, even during weight loss.

Re-gaining with heavy cream

I had been gaining with heavy whipping cream, peaking at 295 pounds in early 2021. I had been taking prednisone at the time, so a good amount of this weight wound up as visceral fat.

I took an extended break and wound up losing a lot of weight, getting down to 215 pounds in late November, 2021.

I am now off the prednisone, and resumed gaining weight near the end of November, 2021. As of Saturday, 1/15/2022, I weigh 240 pounds.

Without the prednisone, the weight is being deposited as subcutaneous fat. My belly is very soft and flabby. I'm loving it!

Re-gaining with heavy cream

In my case I had lost weight and decided to regain a little and started on heavy cream.
I drank some everyday and started eating ice cream before bed and I started steadily gaining and felt softer.
I could feel the inner parts of my arms getting softer and my thighs started to accumulate mass.
The one thing is after I had put on a good thirty pounds over 6 months or so it all went to my lower belly and hips.
I had never had a lower belly before just a big round basketball belly.
I became softer and my fat would jiggle more than it used to and I am still super flabby.

Re-gaining with heavy cream

I've been using heavy cream consistently in my gains since November and have gained about 12-14lbs with it (around 1/4-1/3 of calorie intake every day).

This is my second time being at this weight and I definitely think I'm softer than I was last time. However, last time I'm pretty sure I had more muscle mass than I do now so that would be a more reasonable explanation for why.

I will say that this time around I have knee fat that I don't remember having before, but again maybe that's because my body fat percentage is higher this time and it would have happened anyways had I gotten this fat before.
