Day 3 is going great! I'm on track for well over 5000 calories. It's amazing the things I can accomplish when Mrs. L is at work.  I even got the outside Christmas lights working!

Looking back at my old experiments I noticed that I was only usinig about .25 to .5 cups of cream per day most of the time. This time around I will probably average 1-2 cups. I'm just wondering how many carbs, if any, are actually in this stuff. I know Red thinks there must be some, otherwise it would be butter. But Dean has promised me that his company has taken all carbs out of their heavy whipping cream. We will see, I guess.

It'll be good to know as a reference. Monitor your weight closely, though.

Yes, I'm going to check after one week. If I'm up, the cream would be the likely culprit. I love the cream though, 'cause it's such an easy way to get alot of calories very easily. On the other hand, I am leaving the wine alone, which I did not do before. So, it could be that without the wine, I can handle the few extra carbs that might be in the cream.

After checking around 6 grams per cup seems to be about right.

I know that's what Fitday says. But depending on the brand, it can vary some. The stuff I use says 100% of the calories come from fat. Now, I understand that there can be some fudging because of rounding. However, the stuff we use at the restaurant where I work has 60 calories, but ony 50 are from fat. The rest is divided between protein and fat. In these situations, I'm more likely to go with what it says on the package versus what Fitday says.

Ok, I just checked with calorieking.com. You can look up individual brands there. They also have an "average of all brands". The average is .4g carb per tablespoon. The individual brands seem to range from 0-.6g per tabelspoon. Draw your own conclusions I guess.

Hey, jeff... were you ever able to hunt down some pork belly? Or don't they allow any other animals but dairy cows in your state?
BTW... we are almost complete on our acquisition of every farm in the Badger State!

These ribs are boneless.....just long slabs of meat. I just sear them in a hot pan. I eat them very rare.

I haven't made it to the meat market yet. I seem to be doing ok calorie-wise, though, without the pork belly. And congrats on you acquisition of all the Wisconsin dairy farms.

eggs fried in butter, heavy whippinig cream, co-jack cheese(sorry), chicken thighs, scrambled eggs, ribeye steak, coffee.
If I can manage to average 4500 calories per day, this would give me an extra 69,000 calories. That should be enough for an expected 20 pound fat gain.

Day 7 was 3990 calories, and I managed 88% fat.  I had coffee, butter, heavy whipping cream, bacon, eggs fried in butter, very rare ground beef, and some co-jack cheese.
For the first week I consumed an excess 15575 calories. If there is no metabolic advantage to this way of eating, I should have gained 4.45 pounds of fat.
My weight this morning was 169. Exactly the same as last saturday morning. I will continue for another 3 weeks, although I really don't know why the next 3 weeks should be any different than the first. It will mostly be a test of my ability to continue eating this way.

Ah, another experiment! Good work Jeff, your dedication is inspiring. Very interested in the final results. A question, do you do any exercise and if so are you including the cals lost? Also is it alot easier to get enough calories now that you're using whipping cream as opposed to butter in your previous experiment?

No exercise is allowed in this metabolic ward. The heavy whipping cream does make it alot easier to get the extra calories in. It is such a dense form of pure fat, and for me, much easier to down in large quantities than butter is.

Hell no!!! This whole things was your idea, and you had to talk me into it. I'll cut you a deal, though. How about we shorten it to 2 weeks? Red did it for a whole month, and we saw the results. I am on the same track as she was, as I was the other 2 times I did similar experiments. Unless somebody knows of a reason why fat would start being stored only after 2 or 3 weeks, but not during the first 2. It's not like the fat is just floating around in my blood, waiting to be stored. And even if it was, it would be showing up on the scale, right?

I managed 3375 calories today, and 83% fat. Not feeling well. I have a bad cold, which I almost never get anymore. Calories have been a bit low the last few days. I think I can make up for it today and tomorrow. I'll not list the food, since it's basically the same as the previous days.

It's interesting to note that my average daily calories are just about exactly double my maintenance calories of 2200.

I may be wrong but I think you guys should go 4 weeks. I have heard that studies of 2 weeks are not long enough. Don't know the reason though.

It began to do that, but I only had it in the pan for a couple of minutes. The bit that did liquify I just poured out of the pan and onto my seared ribeye, so none got wasted.

I get my beef suet from a local butcher (at Fareway), they just grind it up for me without putting anything extra in it. I'm 5 lbs of it tomorrow!!  I would imagine the texture was like the fat on the side of a steak after warming it up?

Very similar. But.....I don't know.....there was just somethiing about this stuff that seemed a tiny but different. Maybe it's just the fact that it wasn't attached to any meat.

I have no doubt that the reason you were so sick with that cold is because your amino acid pool had to create/direct proteins to digestion, leaving your defense system vulnerable. That metabolic ward is brutal, huh?

Way to go Jeff. Great experiment. One question. I was talking to someone at work about your experiment and she wondered if someone who is used to working out and and has quite a bit of muscle would continue to burn calories at the same rate as when they were working out even though they have stopped exercising for a certain time period after they stop working out. Confusing, I know. She was thinking that maybe if someone works out on a regular basis, it would take a few weeks for their metabolism to slow down and and wondered if that is why you hadn't gained any weight yet. But if you continued this way of eating say for 2 months, that eventually your metabolism would fall to what you say is your base of 2200 (?) and then you would start to gain.
Kim

Dean

I hate to say "I told you so"... So, I won't!
And, I think Kim has a good point there, jeff. I think you should continue this Experiment for at least two more months... with one change. I think you should up your calories to about 6,000 a day.
Alex, secure the doors and windows.

I really don't think so. If my body is burning through over 4000 calories per day now, wouldn't I have been emaciated before I started this, when I was consuming 2500-2800 calories per day? And remember, Red did the same experiment with the same results. And I'm assuming she doesn't have near the muscle mass that I do. (no offense intended, Red.)

And you be quiet there in the back of the Bus! I'll do 6,000 calories a day for 3 months when you do it.
I knew all along this would be tough to do. That is why I was so reluctant to do it in the first place.

None taken! It's all true. Although I do have the calves of a lumberjack. Only less hairy.

OMG, yeah, it was awful.

Way to go Jeff. Great experiment. One question. I was talking to someone at work about your experiment and she wondered if someone who is used to working out and and has quite a bit of muscle would continue to burn calories at the same rate as when they were working out even though they have stopped exercising for a certain time period after they stop working out. Confusing, I know. She was thinking that maybe if someone works out on a regular basis, it would take a few weeks for their metabolism to slow down and and wondered if that is why you hadn't gained any weight yet. But if you continued this way of eating say for 2 months, that eventually your metabolism would fall to what you say is your base of 2200 (?) and then you would start to gain.

yeah, but I did it for like, what, 9 days or so. I have no muscle to speak of and I'm overweight by about at least fifty pounds. I didn't exercise during my part in the ward and I think I lost around three lbs. Besides IF Jeff's "metabolism" was at 4000 calories while he's working out, then wouldn't he have been "losing" weight before he started in the ward. Because I'm pretty sure he did not eat that many calories before he started in the ward.

All very good points, Mana. Now, go tell AC all about it!
You didn't want that account anyway, now did you?

Just want to clarify so I can better explain this to my coworker. Before your experiment Jeff, were you only eating about 2200 cal. before with exercise? So this would mean if you weren't exercising, your calorie requirement would actually drop even lower?

Not quite. I normally eat about 2500-2800 calories per day. I got the 2200 using the results of several online metabolism calculators, using a sedentary lifestyle for my activity level. This seems about right.

Day 18 was 3386 calories and 83% fat. I made Bear's chicken with butter and cream cheese recipe for dinner. I had 5 chicken thighs. Alot of the butter and cream cheese ends up running out, so I didn't count most of what I actually used. It's still in the pan, though. If I decide to drink it, I'll come back and make adjustments. I also had 2 Miller Genuine Draft Light beers. 2.4g carb each.

I much prefer real beer, but I just can't spare the carbs. Especially now that I'm in this metabolic ward thing. Even when I'm not in here, I never do real beer anymore. Maybe I should just stick to scotch, Red?

Day 19 was 4091 calories and 85% fat. In addition to the usual steak, eggs and cream, I had a tossed salad with blue cheese dressing and a glasss of merlot at a restaurant. Boy, things sure are getting lax in this ward. Where is that guard?

Kind of reminds me of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. I'll be Jack Nickolson.
Dean, we'll have to wait until ALL experiments have been completed before abolishing all the metabolic wards.

I've got a better idea. Since we've lost our security expert, and AC is now on the loose (that's a scary thought, huh? ), why don't we just cruise this Bus to every Metabolic Ward in the world and free all the patients. They can jump on the Bus and do these experiments the Magic way.

I dunno.......I really want to see you do this one, Dean. After all, it was your idea. Then we can close all the wards.

 Don't start spreading rumours about me, or you will be in big trouble, just wait until BJ's back to discuss your punishment, or did you really think this would be easily forgotten 
You just made a big mistake, don't think you will get out that fast.

Boy, this place sure isn't what it used to be, how about some KoolAid for everyone, Shawn?
I need something to relax anyway  .

Dean

I just contacted Shawn, and she informed me that she is busy making another batch of Kool-Aid. Apparently, AC thought the last batch was his "glucose juice", and he injected a "very large" amount into... well, his escape was inevitable, it seems... he went straight through the wall. That also explains the reports coming in from Dr Mike, about the naked, roller-skating man with the Santa Claus cap...
BTW, AC didn't use up all the Kool-Aid (just most of it). What he left of that last batch was consumed by jeff and Heather... in my journal! They're still looking for that key...
