Are there any records of long term experiences with heavy cream?
It seems like everyone who sets out on a journey of long term heavy cream consumption mysteriously never report back. Those who do report back at all seem to have done it for a week, maybe two, and then stop.
Has anyone been able to commit? What was your experience?

I have done this on multiple occasions, but my records are not in one place. I tend to just put my weight gain updates in the most recent Gaining thread that is relevant.
I'm a hard gainer, and heavy whipping cream has been the only thing that worked for me. I was not able to consistently gain weight any other way.
I gained weight in 4-week cycles, with a one-week break in between. I drank about 300 ml per sitting, spaced out at least 2 hours apart. I typically did this 5 times per day.
Assuming I did not hit any plateaus during a gaining cycle, I would typically gain about 22 pounds over 4 weeks. The rate of weight gain was quite consistent from one gaining cycle to the next.
Lately, I've been growing intolerant of heavy whipping cream. It's probably due to a change in the hormones I'm taking. The taste, smell, and texture is grossing me out.
I plan to start another gaining cycle next week Friday. I'll drink a 50:50 mix of heavy whipping cream and half & half. I hope this combination will be easier for me to drink. I won't be able to consume as much heavy whipping cream as before, but my dairy fat consumption should still be equivalent to drinking about 1 liter of heavy whipping cream per day.
I have never experienced a delayed effect while consuming heavy cream. Once I start drinking heavy cream, my weight immediately starts increasing. The weight gain stops when I stop drinking the heavy cream.
It's seems that gaining weight should mixed a variety of things, and not just the heavy cream, although it did a main factor and addition to the weight.
