Cargo Culting ex150: Whipped Cream

Can I just slug double cream out of the pot?

So u/ex150's ex150 diet is a very rigorous thing, the product of a man trying to remove as many variables as possible so he can see the results.

In essence, he's living on whipped cream. With a controlled daily lunch of proper food, meat and low-carb vegetables.

I find whipped cream pretty disgusting, and it's an arse to make.

So the first thing I want to know is 'Is the whipping a load-bearing part of the diet?'

It doesn't seem very likely. I think it's mainly to stop you eating a vast amount of cream at once.

Fuck it, I bought a load of double cream and tried drinking it straight from the pot.

Very nice! So nice I immediately drank a second pot, without thinking about it.

600ml of double cream in two swills, roughly 2500kcals in ten seconds.

Pretty quickly I started to feel that the second pot of double cream had been a mistake. And I didn't want to eat anything else that day.

The following day I opened another pot of cream, and sipped a bit. It was quite nice, but I felt that a couple of sips was enough, and after that I found the thought of drinking more cream revolting. And neither could I face eating anything else.

I think that this is the state the u/ex150 calls 'cement-truck satiety', and what I'd call 'not wanting to eat because you're not hungry'.

So I'm figuring that it's perfectly possible to get satiated by just drinking double cream, and the whipping bit is a red herring.

I suspect our appetites work very differently. I’m immune to the appeal of food when I’m not hungry, and I’ve never experienced anything like the uncontrolled food binges that u/ex150 describes. So I’m happy to trust my appetite to work as it should, and stop me eating when I don’t need to.

As far as I'm concerned, the fact that double cream is really nice if you're hungry and you can eat loads of it quickly is a real advantage!

I like my coffee black, and I'm not going to ruin it by trying to sneak whipped cream into every cup.
