This morning I woke up to find that I suddenly , almost magically, had more flab all over and it does feel good! Funny thing is I stopped gaining two weeks ago. There is no doubt in my mind that it is due to my previous two week heavy cream and peanuts gaining session. The delayed result seems strange but just goes to show that you should not be discouraged too soon.

I will no doubt start gaining again in earnest over the Christmas holiday.

How many others have had such an experience of suddenly feeling very fat?

Congratulations! I know how wonderful that can feel.

I'm in the same boat as Van on this. However I have found that if I keep off excessive amounts of alcohol while gaining, the problem is much less. However I am suffering with a persistent tickly cough and slightly hoarse voice at the moment and am not sure if this is down to gaining. Could be a little bit of reflux causing this but I don't get the heartburn I had before when drinking lots of beer as well as heavy cream etc.

I would say it's pushing your luck. It is not good for your health to gain too fast and there could be unpleasant side effects from not digesting that much fat completely.

This is dead right! I have a choice of either wearing the belt very low down under the belly, which I am not brave enough to do in public, or else wearing high waisted pants well above belly button height. Anything between the two just does not work (pants fall down). I find high waisted stretch jeans with an elastic belt by far the most comfortable option. Belly well tucked in and can hang low inside.

Only other solution is braces (suspenders) which I don't get on well with.

I have had fun with a funnel and tube I made myself. I used a 2 litre plastic lemonade bottle with the bottom cut off. I attached a length of clear pvc tube to the neck, I think it was 1 1/4" diameter and on the end of this a stainless steel 1/4 turn ball valve with a short plastic pipe as a mouthpiece. I hooked up the bottle to a high shelf with a wire coat hanger and sat on a chair underneath.

I was using this for drinking 3 pints of beer in 10 seconds (a personal challenge) and it worked well. I have not yet tried with anything else but maybe I'll try with a cream based weight gain shake.

This is right and that's why I'm gaining pretty fast. The trick for me is to have the cream and peanuts at times when it doesn't affect my appetite for normal meals. If I overdo the cream or have it just before bed then the consequences (acid reflux) tends to put me off the whole gaining thing.

Have been eating 300g of peanuts a day (1800 cals) on some days.

When I start a gaining session for a couple of weeks, my belly gets big and hard to start with and about 2-3 weeks later I notice more flab developing in other places. So yes, there is definitely a delay before the subcutaneous fat develops.

What happens if you drink it at night? I can't drink it during the day because then I am not hungry for meals (it's very satiating).[/quote]

I get heartburn (acid reflux) if I have the cream before bed. I find that taking it after breakfast means that my appetite for lunch is pretty much unaffected - I usually have quite a substantial lunch with salad and fruit.

I have been on 300ml heavy cream per day on top of my normal meals for a week now and can really say it works. Have also been consuming a good quantity of peanuts between meals and find that my weight has increased by nearly 8 lbs over last 2 weeks and plenty of flab coming! It's a turn-on feeling that larger belly sitting in my lap and fatter bum beginning to spill over chairs.

Best time for me to drink the cream is about an hour or two after breakfast. It does not seem then to give me any digestive problems. I can't take it late at night.
