I am 36 years old, and I have had two c-sections with a pandemic in between. I am not at my healthiest, and I am motivated to change that. My goal is to lose 20 lbs over before 2025 begins in 6 months.
I thought about consulting a specific diet plan fad, but since I am fan of AI and exploring the possibilities of ChatGPT, I decided to ask our AI overlords to guide me instead.
Below you will find the week 1 meal plan, grocery shopping list, and workout plan created by ChatGPT.
Join me as I do my best to follow it, and let’s see what happens.
Major Disclaimer
This post is NOT medical advice. It is for entertainment purposes only.
I am not a dietician and I do not have ANY medical training. I am literally just asking ChatGPT to tell me what to do.
I asked ChatGPT to create a meal plan with these parameters: “I am a 36 year-old woman. I weigh 160 lbs. I want to weigh 135 lbs. I do not eat meat, but I do eat fish. Make me a meal plan for this week to help me reach my weight goal.”
The first plan it came back with called for a fish dish every night for dinner. That is way out of my budget, so I asked ChatGPT to modify the plan with this prompt: “Make a new meal plan. I would like to eat fish 2x a week and dinners made with tofu or beans the rest of the week”
