I've been 'fat' my entire life, but it wasn't until recently when I tried heavy cream and gained more 'soft'/subcutaneous(?) fat that I actually began to 'feel' fat for the first time.
So in my case it wasn't gaining weight itself that caused it as much as the type of weight gain.

I've tried heavy cream for a week now... what do you do about the constant bloating...?
I never really had this issue, but this was with double cream.
That said, I consume about 200-300ml 1-2 hours after eating and have ice cream with it and a drop of milk. Going by kcal, 200ml is the sweet spot if the ~1000kcal/hour digestion is true.
The only time I had any issues, it was one morning when I hadn't eating prior and just had milk with some Crusha milk shake flavouring.

PolyPinoyPuppy:Frankly there are a lot of "healthy" products that seem to me to be likely to cause weight gain.
Smoothies and the like always seem like a trap. Processing food like that so they're easier to digest sounds like a recipe for a soon-to-be empty stomach and increased cravings later on.
Then, artificial sweeteners have been shown to trick brains into increasing caloric intake through increased sugar cravings as brains decide they need to increase our desire for sweetness to make the calorie intake match the perceived sweetness. When actual sugar is encountered, the result is eating way more sugar than one would before an extended diet including "diet" sodas.
On the flip side, despite its reputation of giving people munchies and causing them to laze about, marijuana consumption is linked to lower BMIs when comparing non-consumers with consumers and when comparing those who have only started weed to those who have been using weed for a long time. This is despite the increased caloric intake of people who consume weed:
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6340377/Biology is weird, man.
I was thinking more of intentionally 'misusing' to gain rather than accidental.

I'm curious whether anyone here has ever ironically used a product intended to help people lose weight to instead gain?
For example, I recently picked up one of those small 600ml 'smoothie makers' which promotes itself as being 'ideal for making delicious healthy smoothies before work, school or the gym' to instead 'make delicious fattening milkshakes, slush puppies and cocktails'.
I had a blender, but it was heavy and a PITA to use and clean for 1 person and 1 session.

My guess from what I've read on this site would be that maybe she's 'losing' muscle (which weighs more) or she's losing visceral fat which from what I've heard is easier to lose than subcutaneous fat?

As of now, probably the biggest concern is the practical aspects.
I have a fairly physical job and then there's other things like buying clothes, etc.
What I'm hoping is that I can become fat enough to be happy with myself before these concerns become real problems and I have to stop.

Sorry just a random question. I already struggle with appetite but I snack ALOT. I'm thinking of starting the cream but drinking 1 pint for 5 days, a week break, then another five days. I want to take it at the end of the day, like after dinner. Is the sensible and effective?
From what I've read on this site, the body can only digest so much in a short period of time, the figure I've read is about 1000kcal in 1-2 hours.
Given that 100ml of double cream is about 467kcal that would mean 200ml is 934 kcal.
2-4 weeks is also typically what's stated to see some affects, although in my case it was days after starting.
Be careful as well how you take it, I found double cream without something to 'thicken it' (ice cream in my case) gave me stomach problems.
Given your dietary habit, it might be worth totaling up the typical kcal of what you eat to see what you're intake is.

Being unable to shop, or at least have very limited options, in regular stores. I'm a size 3x shirt and 22 or 24 pant, so I have to shop plus sizes only now. Before, I used to fit into XXL, which was sometimes in the "regular size" section. Now, I can't get clothes at Costco or Sam's Club and that sucks haha
You might want to look online, especially places which have a decent returns policy.

Heavy cream works check my profile if you want proof 2 weeks a pint a day you’ll outgrow clothes and be super hungry
Shakes:
wow just saw your before and after pics. Impressive growth
Munchies:
The problem with heavy cream gains is that they are not sustainable. Sure, you can get very fat very quickly drinking it. However, if you have to take a break from it, most of it won't stick.
AaronM:
Most of it won't stick? Sounds almost ideal for those who want to try being fat without the massive commitment of staying fat!
Munchies:
That's less due to heavy cream specifically and more about losing weight when you consume fewer calories. For example, if you consume about 5k calories daily with heavy cream, and 3k calories daily without it, you'll lose weight without the heavy cream.
Wouldn't that depend on how much energy you use though? I.e. If you consume 3k each day but use 3k each day you'll at least maintain the weight.

The often go to 'get fat quick' solution I've seen is something like heavy cream or similar high fat alternatives.
You don't have to take these 'raw' but instead incorporate it into something else.
In my case I tried double cream for a couple of weeks as part of ice cream milkshakes and it's soften me up a bit.
I'd suggest doing a search on the site for the topic.
