Post cruise problems

It's hard to say as it depends on your colleagues/managers.

Personally, I'd probably just act like everything is normal within reason and go from there.

Question about cream


BigNate:
500 ml is a pint, which is around 1600 calories. A full liter or quart is about 3200-3300 calories, or one pound of body fat. 600 ml is easy to do if you sweeten it and sip it throughout the day. Mix it with your food whenever possible.

Casual Gainer:
I had based my post on double cream, which is 445kcal/100ml.

On my days off it's easy to get 600ml in, which I have been doing, but due to work I've only been able to do it late in the evenings, which I'd rather take in a lower quantity.

Still, I'm definitely seeing some results.

BigNate:
How are things going? I've been drinking a pint to a quart a day. The quart days are the stuffing days and the pints are for the days when I'm not stuffing. I need a lot of food to properly digest a quart of cream. it's been 5 days of heavy cream and averaging 5,000 to 6,000 calories a day with two of those days being around 4,000. I'm feeling softer with no weight change just like you. But Iam starting to itch all over my belly and sides and I started getting new stretch marks that I posted pictures of. I'm giving myself a month of heavy cream so I can take short breaks when I need them. I think cream is best with fruit blended in, or in juice form.


I was going to respond in a couple of days when I finished my current supply because I was planning on stopping.

Keeping it brief, overall I've had mixed results, but allot of that was because I couldn't optimally consume it due to work, my kcal intake w/ cream was probably 3000-4000 at best by my estimates.

In terms of results, I might have gained around 5-10lbs but it fluctuates so I can't say for certain. It's really the s.fat which has really changed how I feel .

I think what I'm going to do is actually try and lose some weight now, mainly to try and lose some v.fat so I can gain again with s.fat later and try to plan it a bit better.

Question about cream

Day 7, I'm definitely 'softer' than I was even though my weight is about the same (give or take a couple of lbs) and I don't think I'm that much fatter.

It feels kind of weird walking around with this slight extra 'jiggle' and how 'soft' I now feel.

I think I'm going to give it the second week but then take a break.

Stuffing frustration

Maybe they could trying taking a break?

I find sometimes I can eat a largish meal, feel stuffed but then want to eat something else a short while later.

Same goes for an AYCE buffet, just taking a few minutes to let food settle can make me able to eat more food.

Curious about people's eating patterns

Cds94:
I find I'm never hungry when I first wake up so I usually skip breakfast and have an average sized lunch. But I like ending the day with a massive supper and a snack before bed.


What I tend to find is that when I just around the house I'm not generally hungry until around 10/11 so I eat an early lunch.

I tend to only feel like eating breakfast when I'm out and about e.g. on my way into work.

So it's funny in a way, one morning I don't feel like eating anything, the next day I'm at an AYCE buffet at 9am eating the equivalent of 2/3 meals.

Question about cream

So it's been about 3 days now, I'm not sure if it's my imagination but I think I've become a bit 'softer' on my butt, upper legs and lower stomach.

I've also started to add some heavy cream to my morning coffee (replacing milk) to get some extra in as well.

However, one thing I only remembered after starting this is that the other in the house is going away for a few days next week....so I might try upping it to 600ml for those few days (spreading it of course).

Overall I'm planning to give it the two weeks before deciding whether to continue or not, perhaps taking a break after 2.

Loving your body in public

Update to my previous post.

So for the last couple of days I've been continuing to no longer suck my gut in after decades of doing so.

As before I've still yet to hear any comments.

But today I faced what I think was the ultimate challenge.....family.

In the end neither my parents nor my brothers seemed to notice or they didn't care, including the one who I especially thought would be the one to say something, in fact he joked about how I would be able to eat an entire Large pizza by myself (which of course I did).

Tl;dr: Nobody seems to care and I'm just going to continue being myself.

Question about cream

Jd00723:
I’ve been using double cream and it works a treat. I just call it heavy cream on here. Double cream is actually MORE fattening!

Casual Gainer:
Thanks, out of curiosity how much do you use per day?

Jd00723:
On average, a pint. Well 600ml in new money. It’s so lovely in smoothies or even mixed with a bit of water and sugar.

Just be careful with it!

Casual Gainer:
I was going to say, 600ml is an entire pot which by my maths is about 2802kcal (2000 is the usual reference).

I'll probably try 300ml at first to see what it's like and go from there.

Jd00723:
Yeah fair enough. Like I said I found it too easy to consume, but we all handle food differently, so don’t do anything that makes you ill. Let us know how you get on!


So day 1 update, last night at 8pm after coming home from a late shift I made my first double cream milkshake.

Because it was late I ended up using about 200ml + 1/3 tub ice cream with a drop of milk, it tasted relatively nice with the double cream providing a thickness my milkshakes were previously lacking.

Whilst this isn't much, it's still about 1300kcal by my estimates.

I also don't seem to be having any significant negative reaction.

Overall I think I'm going to be sticking to 200-300ml every day depending on my shifts and availability of cream.

edit:

One other advantage to milkshakes, I'm not getting any remarks about it from the other person in the house.

I just told them 'I found a recipe online' and I've been on/off making ice cream milkshakes for a while now, so I'm just telling them that I like them and I'm making them a daily treat.

What was your first “im getting so fat” moment?

I've just realized today I'm now using my stomach as a 'hand rest' whilst standing.
