Streching- capacity

Munchies:
It varies from person to person, but there are some things to consider.

1. High capacity does not equate to being able to process everything you eat. It's a special kind of hell to have an impressive capacity, but only being able to eat a fraction of what makes you full to avoid getting sick.

2. Once you get past a certain point, there's a very real concern that you can rupture your stomach. This is one of the worst ways to go.

3. My usual warnings about rapid weight gain.

Enas:
Yeah i get those, but im still curious, with enough time and patience how far one can go! O.o

And also, what actually might cause your stomach to rupture? (if you dont mind getting into the technical details, i would like you to)

Munchies:
Feeling full is, among other things, a safety feature. It keeps you from overeating. If you keep eating past this, you'll feel nauseous. People who have incredibly high capacities have trained themselves to eat past this point are at an elevated risk of stomach rupture for these very reasons.

Enas:
So there is a very practical limit to how much you can strech your stomach? If you do it very slowly you cant, for example, get it to actually grow as an organ? (like, the cells that compose it to multiply more so there is actually more material to expand)

Munchies:
Your stomach is a muscle. There is a hard limit to how much it can stretch. On average, the human stomach can hold 2 - 4 liters. As with all things, there are some outliers, but this is less about training your stomach to expand that much and more about having a naturally bigger stomach.

Enas:
Damn, i see. Some fantasies of mine are now crushed 😂

But i guess its for the better.

Every feedist needs to have a basic understanding of biology. You should sign up for some classes since you did not pay attention when you were a child in school.

Streching- capacity

MariaAlive:
The tip I'd give you is to especially eat large portions of light, fat free carbs. No added protein either.

It's easier to overeat, you stomach won't feel heavy and it will increase in size. I'd say it takes 1-2 month's on this route, but it's a fun one.

Your brain has to adjust and see this as a habit that fuels your body, so you will eventually even crave bigger portions.

Munchies:
Slow and steady wins the race.

There are three component to increasing your capacity:

1. Increasing your stomach size
2. Overcoming your brain's signal to stop eating
3. Consistency

If you can do all three, you'll be the glutton of your dreams

Enas:
Im curious, how far can one go with this, given enough time?

That would be friendly teasing.

Medical and genetic engineering

Bigwideland:
Here is a thought, when people get to 800 they generally maxout what is possible. But could genetic engineering give people the ability to avoid the health limitations and wake 1500 to 2000 lbs people possible. What do you think?

To put it bluntly, no. No matter how good your genes are, your body is not meant to weigh past a certain point. While that limit varies from person to person, at some point, your body will disintegrate from the sheer amount of mass.

If you somehow manage to avoid things like clogged arteries, diabetes, and the like, you cannot overcome your structural integrity limits. Even if you spend the rest of your days in bed, your heart and lungs will struggle to move enough oxygen and blood throughout your body.

You cannot genetically engineer a circulatory system that works better at larger sizes because it will not work at smaller sizes. After all, you aren't automatically 1,500 - 2,000 lbs. And you cannot correct this when you get bigger because the surgery would kill you.

With that said, genetic engineering could make you more resistant to morbid obesity comorbidities and lower weights. It could also facilitate a more comfortable weight gain overall.

Dark mode setting

SquishMaster:
Is there any way to turn dark mode on by default? As a user setting, or just in general?

Go to the three bars on the upper left hand corner of your name. You will see a drop down menu by your user name. Click or tap on that and scroll down until you see the dark mode toggle. It will stay in dark mode until you clear you cache and cookies - even if you are already logged out of your account.

Over 40 too late to start gaining?

DoughyDreamer:
Hi all,
I'm 43 years old, 75kg (165 pounds) and have always wanted to be fat. For various reasons I never did anything about it and stayed relatively fit my whole life. However, the pull of gaining weight has never left me and just gets stronger so I thought maybe I should just give in and go for it. My question is, have I just left it too late in life to start?
Ideally I would like to eventually double my weight over the years but not sure if it's possible. I would be keen to hear from anyone else that started later in life.

Thanks all!

There is no age limit to gaining. Plus, we have a lot of 40+ folks around here that started in their 40s.

That said, you have to be more mindful about your gains. Your body can't handle the same level of abuse a reckless 20-something can. So make sure you are getting some light to moderate exercise as well as eating relatively healthy.

I've worked in the health care industry for nearly 10 years, so I have seen what happens if you don't do these things. It's not pretty. But if you do take care of yourself, you can get fat and feel fine.

Dextrose + heavy cream is incredibly potent

Munchies:
Anything that speeds up the weight gain process comes with a host of side effects. This is why those who choose to take it only do so short term.

Helveticus:
Define "short term" please. I started a mass gainer and I would like an estimation of what time-frame could be relatively safe. If I should take breaks every now and then and so on.

I don't care much about my health, if I'm honest, but I wouldn't want too disabling consequences.

You should care about your health. Not caring about it means you will struggle to keep gaining or even stay fat.

No so fun fact: rapid weight loss can be a sign of out of control diabetes.

As for short-term, it really depends on the person. It can be anywhere from a few days to a month. I say a month because if you do long-term rapid gains with any method, your body will start to punish you by about a month into things.

If you want to be smart, lose the dextrose. This way you can drink it without taking breaks. And make sure you are following the instructions. Mass gainer is high in protein. Overconsumption of protein leads to kidney damage.
