Alternatives to heavy cream?

Hungryandconfused:
Full fat coconut milk! I think it's like 700 calories a can.


A large proportion of the fatty acids in coconuts is lauric acid, which I'm pretty sure is really bad for cholesterol levels. I think that might have to be something more of an occasional treat lol

Alternatives to heavy cream?

workingOnIt:
I've found if you use it to make things you would usually use regular oil for, like stir frying, the taste becomes less noticeable.


By that point, though, I don't think I'd be using a significant enough amount to make much of a difference (especially considering the flavour would make me want to use it as minimally as possible)

Alternatives to heavy cream?

becomingoverweight:
... When I finally tasted it though, it tasted terrible. It was like some chemical unfit for consumption.


Couldn't have put it better myself, I even tried using really small quantities in cooking with lots of other flavours on top, but it just felt like I was eating a cheap scented candle.


I wonder if there's a genetic component to the perceived flavor like with cilantro.


I hadn't thought of that, I just assumed that "food grade" must have meant it was pure enough to eat in theory, but it wasn't guaranteed to taste at all palatable.

Alternatives to heavy cream?

becomingoverweight:
I know the linoleic acid content of lard can vary from place to place. For instance, it's higher in America due to them being fed lots of it in their diets and for some genetic reasons. It might be different in the UK though, IDK. Tallow is low in linoleic acid.

A plant source of stearic and palmitic acid is cocoa/cacao butter. It doesn't need to be refrigerated either. The stuff marketed as Cacao butter tends to taste more chocolatey.


Thanks for the tip, I'll look into it. I tried shea butter at one point believing it had similar effects, but I can't stand the taste of it

Alternatives to heavy cream?

I've not been able to find any long-life/UHT-treated heavy cream that's a reasonable price, but my current living situation makes it awkward to keep anything that requires refrigeration (e.g. standard heavy cream). If I could tolerate lactose better, I'd just buy long-life whole milk. I really want to focus on gaining more subcutaneous fat, so I'm wondering if there's anything more convenient that could fit the criteria.

I've done some searching for other sources of palmitic and stearic acids, and it seems that animal fats (such as lard and tallow) might be a reasonable alternative with similar effects to heavy cream, with the added bonus of a long shelf life when unrefrigerated. If this is the best alternative, does anyone have any advice on consuming lard? I've heard that it's not bad when used as a spread on bread or toast. Of course, I have the assumption that there may be an issue with cholesterol (or maybe effects from the other common fatty acids in lard), so any information in that respect is also appreciated.

Other fetishes you have?

I'm into a fair bit of slob-related stuff. I like big sweaty guys personally, and I quite like belching and flatulence as a result of stuffing or consistently excessive/over-indulgent diet. I'm also really into olfactophilia, i.e. I love bodily smells/BO, particularly pits, feet, crotch and ass smells. Pretty weird to most people, but I guess that's just kinks in general. And I absolutely adore stretch marks, it's like they show real dedication to gaining haha

Found another article that defies society's "fat = unhealthy" narrative

I wanted to read about body image and get a better understanding of its impact, when I stumbled upon this very interesting article about the poor correlation between weight and health, and some of the benefits of being overweight:

Opinions on best foods for staying as bloated as possible?

Anyway, I actually tried it today and managed to pack a fair bit into my body. I went a bit paleo at first without really thinking about it, I was just in the mood to munch on raw fresh veggies.

Over the course of about 10 hours, I managed (not in any order):
-6 large carrots
-Whole head of broccoli
-2 pt (1.1L) whole milk
-4 bananas
-2 bowls parsnip soup (total: 4 parsnips, 1 white onion, 2 cloves garlic, 650ml veg stock, 3 slices seeded bread)
-1 bowl borscht (beets, potato, carrot, onion, red cabbage, beef stock, lentils, sour cream - made it in bulk, so not sure of the amounts in each bowl)

Started with a banana for breakfast, then spent a couple hours watching TV and snacking on carrot sticks and raw broccoli. The bland flavours helped me to eat completely mindlessly. Then I went and made the parsnip soup, which was my lunch of sorts. Had the first bowl with some bread, some more rabbit food, and a banana. Refilled my bowl with the last of the soup, finished that with some more bread, finished off the raw veg and had another banana. Then I went to prep and make the borscht (which took quite a while (maybe just less than 2 hours), but it gave me a needed break). Ate that bowl and had the last banana, then all that was really left was more borscht (which I wasn't in the mood for). Then I've just been snacking a little on sweet stuff as a reward, but it's not particularly stuffing and my bloating is slowly going down now.

Before I started, my waist measured 39", and at my peak it reached 41 1/4". I'm quite a small guy, so my belly felt really round and taut by that point, and it felt like it bounced/swayed as I walked with it relaxed enough to just hang out. It was amazing smiley

JayDee303:
Variety is the key.

...

If there is something you are dying to have, save it for when you get to the point where you are thinking about quitting.

....


I try to stick to those points, I find it helps to push my stomach whilst also bringing on another wave of hunger every time I switch things up.

Not really tried changing up my environment though, I mostly stick to my bedroom or living room, only staying in the kitchen to get/make more food (my kitchen's too small to eat in anyway).

I don't generally like stuffing in public because I like to be able to wear loose pyjamas and be able to keep rubbing my belly and shifting about to find a more comfortable position.

I'd love to feel comfortable stuffing when there are other people around, but it just doesn't seem to work for me :/
