The alcohol will be metabolized as energy first, yes. But while that is occurring, the alcohol helps breaks down the fatty acids of the dairy fat so it doesn't stress the intestines as much. Many people get diarrhea from heavy cream because they're expelling unabsorbed saturated fats and bile.

Due to the alcohol being metabolized by the body as energy, almost all of the fat from the heavy cream will be unused as energy and stored as body fat.

Pro tip: have a glass of red wine before you drink heavy cream. It aids dramatically in the breakdown and absorption of the fats. A lot of folks get nauseous, upset stomachs and major indigestion from lots of butter and cream. Europeans have known and ran studies on this for decades.

A super easy part of any meal is cooking any carb side that takes butter and milk such as cheesy noodles, lipton rice sides, macaroni and cheese, quinoa, tuna helper, etc and you simply double/triple the butter and then use heavy cream instead of milk.

It almost always tastes better and takes a 200cal side and makes it a 1,000cal side. Cheap, easy and fast.

The reactions I've experienced with my wife are always denial. She'll bring up her weight gain and friends immediately shoot it down "oh, we haven't noticed. No. You look great" which I always find amusing because, uh, she's twice her size now. Folks just want to be nice.

The other is, after she started gaining, coworkers now offer her food all the time. She does NOT have a sweet tooth, so it always is a surprise to her - her boss will now buy her ice cream or will come over with a bag of candy and ask if she wants some. Heavier women will now make a point to walk to her cube and mention when there are donuts in the kitchen. Where she used to get balloons on her birthday, she now got a giant 16" birthday cookie. She said that NEVER happened before when she was skinny.

I should rephrase my initial statement; what this fetish is about for me is treating a woman like a princess - a greedy deserving princess. You're serving but you're also in control - it's a real trip. : )

This is a tough one because when my wife gains the fastest it's when, obviously, eating her favorite food – eating out. And it's a $65 hit every time we go out; weekends like this it's tough to see that every night. But, at it's core, that's what this fetish is truly about – enjoying food. And good food takes skill, time and.....$$$

My wife loves Indian. And the sauces almost always call for heavy cream. Heavy cream sauce combined with simple carbs (white rice, naan). She's been gaining amazingly well with that in the rotation - especially if she eats it before bed as a snack.

Our neighborhood is more than half Indian and all of the women are massively overweight because everything they eat is a cream/butter sauce over carbs. And they're so active, too! Yet they just gain and gain.

Mine gave away her pants went she went from 100 to 150'ish. She knew she would never get back down to 100 and was fine with 150, she loved the curves.... but........you of course will never stay at 150 if you keep the habits that quickly put 50lbs on you!

From there on out it's a real mind warp. At 150, my wife still made fun of fat people. But she then realized she was continuing to gain and couldn't give up the habits causing it. It's a surreal paradigm shift as the person is forced to grapple with the 'identity' that they're overweight. The world now sees THEM as fat. And the more they accept it, the more they start giving in to their gluttony and losing any desire to moderate their eating.

Once my wife started referring to herself as fat, actually verbalizing it, her eating habits really changed.

For example, my wife would never go to buffets or eat chips on the couch at night because "that's what fat people do". She'd pig out on sushi, cheese or whatever...but NO CHIPS. That was some lifestyle 'red line' in her head. All of that goes out the window once the identity of being fat sinks in. They realize they're not kidding anyone other than themselves. Now she can't go a night without Netflix and her potato chips. She started buying junk food she had never even thought she would be interested in.

My wife supposedly didn't like donuts. She used to make fun of how the women at work would get excited on Friday mornings because it was "Krispy Kreme day". Now she is the one picking them up for the team on her way to work; "they're actually kinda good".

"The point of no return." That's what's hot for me. The point is different for everyone. Usually someone will fight dearly to not buy new pants. They might finally cave and buy a larger pair......but it's that 2nd pair. That seems to be the critical crossroads. Once they accept they've quickly moved up again and there are clearly habits in their life that they now cannot break, is usually when the flood dam breaks, they stop fretting and fighting it... and the weight piles on.

They're now conscious and accepting of the reality that food provides them with daily satisfaction that's worth gaining weight for. And that's when you'll see someone just balloon up.

Have seen this play out with a number of folks at my workplace. I don't know why it's so hot to identify that this person is now out of control and couldn't stop if they even wanted to.

Their Nashville Hot Chicken pizza is my absolute jam. Pickles on your pizza is probably exactly what a hungry pregger girl needs haha.
