Hey all. So,
A few notes before we begin.
This is NOT medical advice. I am NOT a medical professional. This is my very limited understanding as a medical and nutritional OUTSIDER. I took high school and college biology and basically didn't learn any of this crap in school. This is all Google scholarship. If you have medical concerns, do studious research. Visit the NCBI website, read studies, talk to your doctor, talk to people with the issues I will discuss. Don't make life decisions based on this post. Use this as a jumping-point to further your understanding of the human body.
THAT BEING SAID,
I've been into stuffing and weight gain since I can remember, yada yada, whatever. I'm not a poser, and I am absolutely not here to tell people how to live their life. I respect the community, and I believe I'm generally understanding. Additionally, the goal of this is to **optimize** weight-gain and longevity. I'm here for a good time and a long time.
Please don't take this post the wrong way, and let's keep this an open discussion. Let me know if I was insensitive!
After a bit of scrolling and googling, I found basically no resources on the topic of """healthy""" fat gain through the lens of fetish gainers. I'm not a health expert, but I know TO MY LIMITED KNOWLEDGE there's three main categories of """health""" that can get messed up by gaining:
1.) Blood lipids. Having high blood lipids may increase your risk for heart attack or stroke, and does have a proven genetic component to this. Generally a long-term concern as opposed to an acute issue. Conflicting research nowadays about which kind of blood lipid is actually harmful, and even if it actually is. I had high blood lipids, I got them under control, but may have to slow down the gain.
2.) Blood glucose. I don't know too much about endocrinology, but I know a few things- your body is supposed to maintain blood sugar within a certain range, and beta cell (special cells in your pancreas that make natural insulin) can be damaged by forcing your body to make too much too frequently. SECONDLY, insulin resistance, is a status in which your cells partially or near completely stop responding to insulin, natural or injected. Diabetes may be indicated through elevated A1C (basically a blood test measuring your history of blood sugar values of the last three months), fasting blood sugar levels, or urine glucose levels. The key point is UNREGULATED diabetes (elevated blood sugar with insulin resistance/pancreas damage) causes damage to nearly every every system in your body, and every organ. No bueno
3.) Various organ damage due to food substances. This is the part I know the least about. What specifically is the threshold of liquids to optimize long-term kidney function, but to also practice chugging water for stomach size expansion? What about fatty liver? One thing I do know is visceral fat is bad, and is basically caused by fat gain without exercise (could be wrong?). Protein is not the fastest way to gain weight, and also puts stress on your kidneys in high volumes (how high?)

Now for the fun part.
4 basic macronutrients-
protein
carbs
fat
alcohol
FATS
Specifically with gaining weight in a """healthy""" manner, it seems to be somehow getting enough calories through """"""healthy"""""" fats such as fish, nuts avocados, and other various sources so that you can maximize the amount of fat you can metabolize without it raising your blood lipids. I think from my understanding you can eat way more calories of avocado than bacon, and the avocado will supposedly raise your blood lipids less??? Again, not medical advice, just conjecture based on googling.
CARBS
Carbs include fiber, non-matabolized sugar alcohols, kale, bread, corn, cereals, and oatmeal, and much much more. This one seems tricky. Carbs are the main macronutrient that raises blood glucose, which in excess can cause diabetes which in my understanding can quickly become an issue faster than high blood lipids. The trick initially seemed to be to just eat carb foods that are (relatively) calorie-dense but low on the glycemic index (measures how quickly blood sugar is affected by different kinds of carbs) like hummus and peas, but then that just increases your overall glycemic load!!! I feel stuck here. Beta-cell health is important, they are basically the sole producers of natural insulin in your body, and being of African, Native (Hispanic too), and other descents can predispose your beta cells to being- well, a bit beta, compared to European-descended people who's societies had bread and highly processed carbs introduced to them at a much earlier point in history (could be wrong).
PROTEINS
From what I understand, this is one of the worst ways to gain. Your body pisses out excess protein, and it's not really adapted to turning protein into blood sugar, ketones, or energy really. We're not cheetahs, protein is mainly for cell health and various bodily t
