This is giving me something to think about too. I have had high BP for the last 35 years but I know that if I do 30 mins treadmill three or more times a week, it seems to keep it under control. I'm just going back on an exercise regime now as I've gained 42 lbs over the last 6 months and BP has crept up to 150/85. Last exercising regime 2 years ago brought it right down to around 120/70.
P.S. I am on meds (16mg Candesartan /day) but don't want to increase this if the exercise works. Will update this thread in a month or two to tell you if it's working. I don't plan to stop gaining altogether but will (probably!) slow down a bit.

I think 25lbs a month is about my maximum. I was doing the GOMAD diet for that month. (Gallon of milk a day). Really worked wonders!

I would say most (but not all) of the women that I have been attracted to over the years have been fat. In other words I do not find all fat women attractive and I am attracted to a few women who are not fat.
I sympathise with the OP. The bf's a jerk.

It's a magic substance that if taken on top of your ordinary diet will definitely make you gain weight!
(Actually Heavy Cream is a term used in the US. We call it Double Cream here in the UK - It's just rich cream)

If I'm seriously gaining, I have 150g of peanuts and 2 litres of whole milk a day (that is around 2000 calories) in addition to what I normally eat. Soon packs on the pounds. Have tried heavy cream but I find it makes me very hot and sweaty at night.

Honda Jazz has lots of room for a small car. Good for tall people too. Plenty of headroom. My wife has one and she's a 21 stone 5 foot 6.

fanedfox:Egg Nog, is really calorie dense, a good choice. My wife baked a lot this Christmas. She made Reese's cup in dough cup, 'kiss cookies, a peanut butter base cookie with a hersheys kiss on top, those are favorites for me and go right to my waist/belly. Good luck, eat up!
Unfortunately it's difficult to get Egg Nog here in the UK. Been feasting on nuts however and weight at a new high - up 2Kg already since last week!

What is your favourite Christmas food for weight gaining? I love pigs in blankets personally, closely followed by Christmas pudding with loads of cream.

johnxyz:
I personally do not like the term "thick," and there is no scientific definition of it. The reason I don't like the term, is because it is usually used for a mostly two dimensional item, such as plywood or a flat steak. Something that is round or spherical is usually not called "thick."
I definitely prefer Plump to Thick. Thick implies mental denseness (stupidity) in the UK.
