Gaining

Your milage may vary. Some people experience permanent changes. Some people lose all the weight the moment they stop. It really depends.

Besides, the real magic of heavy cream is that it primes the body for weight gain. So if you want a more permanent change, make sure you are eating enough high calorie food. If it's a struggle to eat more, you are drinking too much heavy cream.

Also, heavy cream is easier to consume if you cook/bake with it instead of drink it.

In my case where I do on/off cycles, I haven't gained weight but I feel like it has added a layer of longer lasting sub fat, although I was already overweight/obese with likely vis fat and my job is physical.

I also find my appetite affected, although that might be more psychological.

As for 'priming', I'm guessing they mean that it makes it easier because of the high kcal content.

The recommended kcal intake for an adult is 2000-2500, but cream makes it easier to consume thousands more which makes gaining easier if done correctly.

If my normal diet is 2000-3000, cream can easily make that 4000-5000+ kcal.

How do I cook it? I usually drink it cold.

It's a complex topic that I frankly don't feel like explaining. However, I discussed the science behind it in detail in another thread. So I'll just give you the link to that:

Like all things about the human body, the reason depends. However, there are some things to keep in mind.

When you gain weight, not all of it is fat. Some of it is water retention. If you have an intolerance or sensitivity to dairy, some of it is inflammation. You'll lose some of this when you stop - especially the inflammation - but some will remain.

The fluid retention can easily be flushed away with a diuretic. But as for the fat? Heavy cream tends to promote subcutaneous fat. This is harder to burn off than visceral fat. I'm not saying you can't lose subcutaneous fat. It's just a lot harder.

Of course, this is anecdotal, but heavy cream is what finally made permanent changes for me after years of failing to keep any weight on. Gaining by overeating without cream never stuck, and I would lose all the weight when I stopped deliberately overeating. Over several cream cycles spanning several years, I’ve managed to go from ~90 pounds to 144. The most exciting change I’ve noticed is that as of recently, I don’t lose weight anymore. Even if I’m not trying to gain, it stays on, and sometimes even slowly creeps higher. I could probably lose weight if I decided to hold myself to a strict diet, but although I admit I’m curious about how it would go, especially since being UNABLE to lose weight despite trying is just about the hottest thing ever to me and so I would be interested to see if I would experience it, I don’t want to risk triggering a relapse of my eating disorder.

I think the best way to do it is to have a cream shake before bed, and stuff all throughout the day. Don’t overdo it, start with a very small amount of cream and work up to the maximum you can handle without being sick (how much that is is different for everyone). It always makes it hard to eat at first, but actually increases my appetite a *lot* if I can keep at it for 3 or 4 days. If you keep at it long enough, the increased appetite will last even after you stop, and in my opinion that’s what makes the weight stick. I’ll bet it’s also responsible for a lot of the delayed gain people report.
