If you haven’t played with Chat GPT yet… it can be a really useful tool. It’s sometimes fun just to see what you can come up with to ask it. I’ve been wanting to lose weight and so I decided to give Chat GPT some specifics about what I wanted to do alongside some specific information that a trainer might potentially ask me.
I wrote my prompt as follows:
It’s December 31st. I’d like to start a fitness/weight loss plan beginning tomorrow and let Chat GPT be my guide. You are an expert fitness trainer and nutritionist. Write a plan for someone who wants to lost 50 pounds in the next 5 months who is limited on time for workouts and food prep, but does have a treadmill and 2 and 5 lb dumbell weights. Focus on bodyweight exercises that firm and slim a pear-shaped woman to a more hour-glass shape. Give me food suggestions for someone who is not a cook, doesn’t have time to prepare the freshest of dinners and generally eats a lot of ground beef and chicken and a few vegetables. In addition, if you can make that diet anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer, that would be a great bonus. Let’s write a plan month by month.
And it did! Now I went back and forth with some prompts to detail it a bit more asking for specific food variations and even suggestions for pre-prepped or store-bought options to make things faster.
I did not start January 1. I had some things happen personally in my life and gave myself some time and grace. I’m going to attempt to start now that it’s February. It will be hard to do this alone. I really believe personal trainers are a huge value in a “get-healthy, lose weight” journey, but I also understand not everyone can afford a personal trainer. So I invite you to follow along if you would like. I would appreciate any encouragement along the way. And let’s see if Chat GPT wrote me a plan that I can “do” that will also bring me the desired results!
Stay tuned!
