So I've decided to change plans a little. A good long look into the mirror has convinced me that getting my weight issues in check again is currently the highest priority, as I am starting to really feel uncomfortable with all the flubber I gained over the last months.
Little history: I've had quite some problems with my weight for a long time in my life - when I dropped out of school at 19 or so, I weighed in at 110 kg. Over the next years this went even further - I think I topped out at 116 kg. I managed to lose most of my overweight in several stages over maybe 5 years, opting for a moderately low carb diet (which I am running still today), getting down to a stable 85 kg (I am 1,85m btw). I managed to keep this weight stable for 3 years quite effortlessly. Then something like 9 months or so ago I suddenly started to gain weight quite rapidly - mind you without changing my diet. This correlated with me starting DMSI 3.0 - my theory is that the weight gain might have been caused by resistance to the subs. Said that before and got quite some contra from a couple of people, but as the subs are actually the only thing that changed, to me that's the only thing that would make sense.
So anyway, stopped MLS for now last night. I'll give MLS some time to subside (I guess the ringing in my ears will be a good indicator for when MLS has stopped running in my head - sudden silence means I can start the weight loss program). I'm curious to see if this will work for me, and if it does how far and how fast it will help me get back down to an acceptable weight again. I'm not entirely sure yet if I want to run it until I've reached my ideal weight (or what the sub makes out to be my ideal weight), or if I for now just want to get down to where I was 9 months ago. That would probably be something like 12 kg at the moment. Will update here every now and then - will probably be the odd one out in a sea of DMSI and MLS journals.
Also am curious how the 5G program will do compared to the 5.5G of DMSI and MLS. On both 5.5G programs that I tried I have experienced quite some resistance. Maybe the (probably more gentle) approach of 5G is actually working better for me. Not much looking forward to the increased listening time demands though - that's definitely a downside of going back to older tech. Will run the sub for 8 hours over night and will aim for 2 hours in the day, if possible via headphones. That's pretty much what the instructions recommend.
EDIT: @Shannon - The download for the WL sub came with a nice PDF with the instructions for the program. I think that's a nice touch actually - maybe it's worth considering to do this again, seeing that older programs have now partially vanished from the shop or have been replaced with updated programs that would go with a different set of instructions, so instructions on the shop page might vanish in the future.
