Lost 7kgs using ChatGPT: Swiss influencer reveals how she used AI for weight loss| Watch

The Swiss influencer sent a voice message to ChatGPT every morning with details of what she consumed and the number of calories she was targeting that day

Swiss digital creator Cristina Gheiceanu caught the internet’s attention not just for losing 7 kgs but for using ChatGPT to do so. In an Instagram post, she shared that the AI tool helped her first with “calorie deficit and maintenance level”; however, the real game changer was using it for “daily tracking.”

The Swiss influencer sent a voice message to ChatGPT every morning with details of what she consumed and the number of calories she was targeting that day, allowing it to do the rest. The catch was feeding the tool with information at the start so it could become smarter and more knowledgeable.

She shared, “In the beginning, I had to tell it the calories, protein, and fibre in the foods I use. Next time, it remembered everything, so I was just telling it to add my yoghurt or my bread. It knew how many cal or protein is in that yoghurt or bread. I kept using the same chat, so it became faster and easier every day.”

It didn’t end there. She displayed a table in the video post, where the AI tool listed her calories, protein, and fibre, making it easier for her to keep track. She added, “And if I was missing something, I’d just send a photo of my fridge and get suggestions. It made tracking simple, intuitive, and actually enjoyable.”

Cristina revealed that after the initial help, she started to instinctively realise what foods had to be consumed and in what quantity. She shared, “Now…I don’t use it so often, but in calorie deficit and the first month of maintenance, it made all the difference.”

Her post received mixed reactions. Some praised her, saying, “Love this. Thank you so much.” Another suggested, “You can also send it pictures and it has a pretty good guess at what’s on your plate and tells you all the macros.”

However, some were not convinced. One user wrote, “This is horrific use of AI. The amount of water wasted and heating generated to answer a query that could easily be solved by following a simple meal plan…please look into it before continuing to use ChatGPT in this manner.”
