Heavy cream weight did not stick

LondonFA:
As stated above, add it to things to make it more consistent.
One week gaining cycles are rarely successful no matter the method (gorging, couch based week, junk, candy, cream).

Always aim at 12 week cycles for either gains or losses.

With cream, the wife usually has a 3 month period where we sub it for milk (or supplement by making a half and half double cream/ whole milk). Firstly this consistently adds a lot of calories to the diet and secondly it gives the body time to get used to the added fat and hopefully adjust its enzymes accordingly to help with digestion.

I know cream can be expensive so 90days can be taxing: to help tesco and other stores has large pots of double cream on offer quite often including on yellow lable so you can freeze them in portions using an icecube bag. Add them to smoothies to cool them down, add them to sauces to make them rich, add them to coffee and blend to make frapuccinos.

Hey so how much cream does she start on per day?[/quote]

So we normally start at 2 600ml Double cream pots every 3 days going to 1 per day at minimum by the end of week 2. Again it's all incremental and it's just about gradually moving the milk in stuff like coffee toward more cream.

Being somewhat sedentary during the gaining periods helps too so summer vacations where iced cream based drinks or cocktails help or winter where it's her AM latte which we steam a mug that's half double cream half milk and a nespresso shot and 8 sugars with her breakfast grilled cheese sandwich.

Also sauces: cream based pasta sauces and cream based sauces for fish are great especially with a late evening meal.

As a side note she just (August 9th) had a checkup with her GP [physician] and has normal cholesterol and very good liver function so no issues so far except a bit of a sore back. But at nearly 37 and 134kg and a clingy 3 year old I think that's par for the course.

In summary, do ramp up over a couple of weeks, weight your consumption toward more.near rest periods (or stay more sedentary in general) but also try keep the spacing of it throughout your meals instead of a 1 pot chug once a day.

Activity and weight gain.

Good Girls Grow:
I am trying to gain weight, I'm consuming double my normal calories and then some and the weight just isn't appearing.
Now I have a very hectic lifestyle with two young kids to run after so I average at least 2500 calories burnt each day, that's including my resting calories.
My question is how can I remain as active as I am (and I can't slow down because this is literally what it takes to keep my house clean and my kids happy and fed) but also gain weight? I'm constantly eating and snacking, going for higher calorie foods, having protein powder shakes to up the calories, I've been trying to gain for over a month now and I'm just yo-yoing at the same weight 🙄
I am getting bigger because I've outgrown most of my clothes but the scales aren't going up??


It takes time and a constant change of habits. Also, consider where you are getting you getting your calories from and how available they are. If you’re adding them just as fats you will see a slower gain than a mix of fats and sugars (carbs). Re weight vs size, its possible you’re losing muscle mass while getting fatter so the denser muscle tissue was what was maintaining your pre gaining weight. It sound like you are on the track of getting fat, but need to give it time.

Heavy cream weight did not stick

Imnothereghost:
Hi I tried using Heavy cream or really double cream here in the UK 300ml every night for 4 nights in a row (around 800 calories each night). A week later I seem to be back to where I started maybe 1lb heavier. Any help with what I am doing wrong?

Cute sweat

Wifestuffer:
This year she's finally gotten so fat she sweats all the time. I did NOT think I'd find it so cute and adorable. I always thought it would be awkward and a turn-off...but when you fall in love with someone who just keeps gaining weight, they keep surprising you.

When we started dating and she was just chubby and big-boned, she was always cold, and had to wear tons of layers and a girdle to keep her tummy warm so she didn't get sick. Now 100+ pounds later, she's a completely different woman. She comes home panting and even whimpering a little from how heavy she is, drops everything, strips naked and flops down on the couch to air her giant body off.

It's become so hot and sweaty in between her folds of flesh it's honestly shocking.
But she's also very tidy and has no body odor. Like a giant ripening fruit covered in hot forest dew. I seriously did not think I'd find it so sexy as she started sweating from being so obese.


Totally agree on the cute factor!

One thing I would say for caution is that a good akin care regime becomes more important for an obese partner: good hygiene, moisturising and possibly powdering help with keeping those rolls in top shape for pounds and pounds to come!

Is all purpose cream the same as heavy cream?

What different grades of cream are called varies from country to country. I live between Spain the UK and the USA and have found very little equivalence between the grades of cream.

In Spain there is “nata para reposteria” [Cream for deserts] which is around 20% fat and “nata para cocinar” [cream for cooking] which is around 12.5% fat. Ive not found a heavy cream equivalent at regular groceries but there is nata densa in a specialist dairy shop in Barcelona that has a cream at 38% fat in small jars.

In the UK there is double cream which is around 48% fat and there is single cream which is around 18% fat.

In New York (cant speak for all of the US), there is Heavy cream at about 38% fat, whipping cream which sometimes contains gumming agents to aid with whipping at around 32% fat and half and half which is around 15% fat.

Ultimately the market and country dictate the content but if you’re looking at finding an equivalent look for cream at around 35+% fat content by volume and you’re in the right ballpark.

What's the difference of boost and heavy cream?

Wantin28n:
New gainer trying to figure out things


Boost is full of carbs along with B complexes and whey protein. Heavy cream is not a formulated meal drink so lacks a lot of the carbs but contains more fats.

With regard to the results, as stated above, there is some evidence that heavy cream results in a more subcutaneous gain (more even distribution of fat under the skin and not around the organs) which means a softer look rather than a harder rounder belly look.

Sleep apnea/cpap and weight gain

2xChins:
Is Sleep Apnea something that's inevitable when gaining weight? I'm assuming so but I'm just wondering if there are any people out there that are above 300lbs and don't need one


I once has a fling with someone who was 148kg which is comfortably over 300lbs. She had no apnea issues, didn't snore either.

OSA incidence is correlated with obesity but as it is a physiological affect usually related to fat deposits near the upper airways, where your body deposits fat makes a big difference as to when/if you will develop it as you gain.

How do you make money when you're immobile?

mortal:
I've been seriously considering some of the bigger numbers as eventual goals, and I was wondering how I'd make money to eat at that weight? any ideas or experience?


Software/web development, Graphic Design, Architectural Design, Musical Composition, Script Writing, Editing, Trading, Financial analysis, Accountancy/Auditing, Trading.

There are plenty of jobs that can be done from a keyboard on a bariatric bed. What I would say is get qualified before going too big as exam centers aren't always bariatric adapted. So to become a CPA or CFA in accounting pr finance will need you to study and sit exams and from my experience most exam centers for the CFA are not well adapted for the very large.
WRT the other fields I mentioned, there are plenty of courses on the web but again, “qualification” often involves examinations. Not that a piece of paper matter so much in creative fields; it’s more the quality of your work and how sellable it is.
