For reference I’m 5’6 185lbs right now……so gaining 20lbs would put me at 205lbs…….

This is uncharted territory for me so that’s why I’m askin haha

Munchies:
Yes. Why do you ask?

Dreezy:
Ehh, well…..I’m visiting family this Christmas……and wondering if I’ll be able to hide it or not lol….

Munchies:
Why do you want to hide your gains?

Dreezy:
Honestly, because I’ve never been really fat before…….not sure if I want to deal with the reactions just yet…….also, I’m seeing them in May again and plane by then is to have hopefully gained about 50lbs by then and in a sense would rather deal with it then…..idunno…..

Munchies:
If you want rapid gains, you will need to make your peace with people noticing. This isn't clothes padding. You can't take off your pudge.

Why are you afraid of them noticing your new size?

Dreezy:
I think it’s an identity issue, I’ve always been seen as the “good looking fit guy”. That’s what my family and so many people know me as……so me getting fat might be a shock or even concerning to them……

Truth be told gaining weight to me isn’t about a “fetish” or anything like that……it’s just what I want to look like and what I want to live like.

Just worried they might not get that…..

Morbidly A Beast:
It’s a bit exotic and might be weird to some people but bugs are kinda tasty and a lot of time they are candied. Not exactly filling but an animal, and fully, none the less

Dreezy:
Wow man, appreciate the reply this great info!

Yea okay, sounds like it might be a bit more challenging than I’d originally planned……

So I’m 20lbs in 3 months might be a more realistic goal? I’m just trying to set real expectations, I wanna enjoy this process.

Also would 20lbs be noticeable? I’m currently 5’6 185lbs so that would put at about 205lbs (which is the heaviest I’ll have ever been btw)

Morbidly A Beast:
For clarity, when I did the math you would be 214 or something like that so when I said just short I meant 4 to 6 pounds assuming you maintain 3k-4k calories a day. It’s not about the difficulty or anything just it’s just raw numbers.

It might be challenging it might not be, I don’t know how active you are and what your appetite is like… if you can’t eat a lot it might be challenging but if you can eat a lot it’s more doable.

20-30lbs is noticeable, given your height.

Dreezy:
Definitely, I’m averaging anywhere from 2500 to 3000 calories a day right now. Been doing for about the last 2 weeks and honestly it’s been fairly easy…….the only thing is I do have muscle mass so you can still see some definition……

I made the descion to stop working out a month ago as my sciatica was acting up so I’ve been SUPER sedentary……in your experience how long until you saw muscle definition and mass go down? I’m not really into the whole muscle chub hard belly thing, I just want to be soft haha.

Hey all, new member here. Really glad I found this community. I’ve always loved stuffing myself with copious amount of meat, but I find it especially satisfying when I can eat all or most of the animal in one sitting or over the course of the day. It just feels so gluttonous walking around with a whole animal in my belly.
I eat 1 (sometimes 2) Costco rotisserie Chickens per week and will have whole lobster and fish a few times per month. Always delicious and satisfying, but would like to expand my appetite

I’ve found a place I can get a whole suckling pig (expensive but totally worth it imo). The other thing I was thinking was a whole octopus. I’ve had octopus before, but never a whole one to myself. Is there places that sell whole octopus to eat?

Also, looking for any other recommendations, just has to be somewhat practical to obtain.

Is this possible? If so would it be difficult to do? I’m currently 190lbs and would like to be about 220lbs by the end of the year.

Would appreciate info! Especially from experienced gainers!

Thanks!


Munchies:
Is it possible? Yes. Is it easy to achieve? It depends.

For context, you'd have to gain 10 lbs a month or 2.5 lbs a week. While that is something you can do, the tricky part is consistent gains. It's easy for some, but hard for others.

Manage your expectations, but feel free to push yourself. Have fun and stay safe!

Dreezy:
Geez, sound challenging…..honestly not really sure what managing my expectations looks like haha. I’m pretty new at this…….what would be a realistic goal?

Jakub197:
Can feederism make me feel less fat than I actually am?
