If you have excess heavy cream, whip and freeze it. If frozen unwhipped the texture will change. Leave some plain and some with vanilla and sweetener (if those fit the rules).

How are you preparing the double cream exactly? Something I never quite grasped from the blog posts about it.

Preparing? Pull off lid, drink from pot. Maybe a spoon if I'm feeling formal.

Ah ok! I thought @exfatloss said he whipped it or something.

I did try ex150 a couple months ago. I lasted less than two days, I do not find double cream direct from pot palatable *at all*.

It is a good movie! I was afraid Garland would mess it up, difficult topic for an outsider I think. But he did a good job. I'm a huge Garland fan, more so as a screenwriter but even as a director he's quite good. One of the best screenwriters of our time I think.

The fat loss is pretty crazy.

What could be happening: as you've avoided PUFAs pretty strictly over the last year or whenever you dropped the peanut butter, you've slowly depleted yourself of LA. Eating higher protein/swamp might mask that in terms of fat loss, but the underlying metabolic infrastructure got better and better.

Meaning when you go on ex150 now, especially after having regained the previously lost weight, your body just goes "bro we got energy for DAYS here" and you get thousands of cArOliEs per day from your own body fat, making you constantly satiated by default.

It sure felt like that. Appetite almost absent for two weeks, like I've got full access to my stored reserves and my body was saying: "just the odd bit of beef and tomato for nutrient purposes, we *really* don't need any more calories right now"

I'm most interested in what happens over the next week. I am not even tempted to predict, apart from water weight regain, which means I know nothing.
