I am using 27/30 mask version ocean/trickling stream. Would I get better results with hybrid?
Actually, that's a higher volume than you should be using. You don't need to try "more power" (Hybrid). You need to try less perceptory pressure first. Go for a month at a volume of 24/30 and see how that does.
Just to add something here that can be of use...
I've lost WELL over 75 pounds over time, in two separate stints too. It took long-term effort and diligence.
Also, I've had many plateaus, some lasted days, some a week or so.
I've also had many weeks where I didn't lose the *maximum safe amount* of 3/4 pounds per week. It's not a big deal. Just stick to it long term and you should be fine. If the sub makes diet and appetite changes over time, the weight loss should uptick a bit until you get leaner and losses are harder. Don't worry.
One of the things I did was drink a lot of water a day. I'm up to 3L of water a day. That helped a lot with weight loss for me.
6 pounds of weight loss over a month just for "pressing play" here and there, people would give anything for such a thing. I'm pleasantly surprised it may be doing anything, it's quite an achievement, @Shannon.
All the best. Just relax, you're doing great. Think long term. You'll be a new man by the end of that run. Believe me.
Thanks CatMan, just got focus on the numbers on the description page. I have been walk 1 hour a day, for stress and it's just good for you. But I should drink more water, keep forgetting about that.
It is common for people to read things and not really read them for what they're actually saying. The description said that the maximum was 3 pounds per week, and that it was designed to get you to lose 2-3 pounds per week. The design is the goal, but unfortunately, there are a lot of factors that prevent the goal from always being achieved perfectly, and I cannot account for every possible such factor. I have changed the description to try to make things clearer. But there will be some for whom 3 pounds a week is the result, and some who get less.
If you get less than 2 pounds per week of weight loss in response to this program, it will indicate that there is some part of you working against the program because it perceives weight loss to be some sort of threat to you staying alive. The fact that it genuinely believes that "You're going to DIE if you lose weight!" And is therefore fighting with everything it has to "stay alive", and this program is still achieving any weight loss at all, is pretty impressive when you think about it. It's only been since ~ 5.75/5.8G came out that such a result is possible. And it still may not happen for everyone.
I still don't understand this deep lizard brain terror that X = DEATH!!!!11!11!11!!, where X is [executing DMSI and getting laid, executing UMS and getting rich, executing weight loss and getting healthier, etc]... but that's what we have to deal with.
Remember, "designed to achieve a maximum of 3 pounds of weight loss per week" does not equal "guaranteed to achieve exactly 3 pounds of weight loss per week". Unfortunately, it happens a lot that people read 3 and somehow conclude that that's exactly what will result, every time. I think it comes from the fact that we have so much information thrown at us every day now that we tend to skim everything instead of really read it. My program descriptions are very long because they have to be very detailed and informative so my customers can make the right choices for them without spending money on something that isn't what they really wanted and needed. It's worth slowing down and reading what I write in these descriptions for that reason.
