I've just come to the end of a very intense week+ of calorie overconsumption, taking me from 224lb 8 days ago, to 231 today. By supplementing "normal" food with heavy (double, in UK) cream, as well as drinking sugar solution, I was able to consume between 7,000 and 9,000 calories each day.

Also, profile search by distance is wildly inaccurate and delivers results hundreds of miles away from my locality.

Clotted cream has its place, namely on a scone with jam, but it's not ideal for adding to shakes due to its viscosity.

seems, i mixed up heavy and whipping cream... Not a native speaker, sry.
georgejorge:
In the US, it's actually called heavy whipping cream. Most people say heavy cream, but you're still talking about the same thing.
Heavy and heavy whipping are two different products. Whipping cream has slightly less fat in it than standard heavy (or double, in the UK) cream, the reason being that if you whip double/heavy cream, it's a little too dense.

Slowly at first. I was a bit too gung-ho to begin with and suffered 5 hours of nausea for my efforts. Lesson learned the hard way.

1. What is your current weight?
247lbs
2. What is your normal goal weight? (what you probably answered already elsewhere, this question is just for having all the information in one place without having to search fr it)
250lbs
3. What would you choose if you could instantly and magically change to any weight, but the changes reverted after a few hours max. one day?
I would say 400lbs, but much of the thrill would be lost if I knew the weight was temporary.
4. What would you choose if you could instantly and magically change to any weight, without it automatically reverting? (of course, you could still gain or lose weight naturally afterwards)
If I had this option, I imagine in the heat of the moment I would choose a huge number. In fact, I've always thought the most fun fantasy would be to have a magic pill that, when swallowed, would commit me to constant and gradual fattening.

I think the reason heavy cream is more Paleo friendly is just because it has even less of an insulin response than milk just due to lack of sugars (or so Ive read lol)
Of course - that makes sense.
OnyxStar:I haven't been on it so Im not an expert, but Im guessing its akin to Atkins in a way....I just found this out when I was getting frustrated about my slow gain eventhough I was drinking cream and lead me into playing a chemist again with food lol....still a mad scientist in search of the perfect gaining concoction

Fellow mad scientist here. We should team up.

Hansel250:Also, I've been making sure to eat or drink something very sugary at the same time as drinking the cream shakes in the hope that it'll stimulate a glycemic response. A bit hardcore perhaps, but I don't intend to go quite this full-on for long.
OnyxStar:This is what I have been doing too!
Idk, seems to work. Ive read mixed stuff especially about the Paleo diet that says it could make you lose (which I still don't understand) - anyway, Im not taking any chances and Im making the most of it
I don't know much about the Paleo Diet, but I do know that it is unlikely that adult Palaeolithic humans would have consumed cream, since Lactase persistence is a relatively recent adaptation among (predominantly, I believe) Europeans. Also, diets involving high fat consumption are (again, to my limited knowledge) ketogenic in nature, thus relying upon very low carbohydrate intake in order to facilitate weight loss.
So, those of us whose bodies are not in ketosis and who consume a lot of dairy-fat calories?
We're going to get fat.

The delayed gain reallly seems to happen too- and the cream seems to make me hungrier. It seemed I had been on a plateau forever...(which in reality was only a few days I guesss) I was drinking it everyday and not seeing any changes on the scale.
After getting discouraged, and not trying to gain for a few days or so, I weighed myself and saw the gain. Oddly enough, I haven't been drinking near as much cream, but my weight has started to climb everyday.
I'm very, very happy to read about delayed effects!
