ChatGPT diet plan: New research shows that weight loss plan actually works but if you follow these prompt strategy

Amid rising number of people turning to OpenAI's ChatGPT for ways to lose weight, a recent study of International Journal of Obesity and published by the Nature has showed how accurate is the chatbot in planning meals and daily diet within the specified calories.
This study used ChatGPT version 3.5, freely available to the public. The researchers, Serkan Aslan and Saniye Sozlu, instructed the chatbot to generate daily diet plans with 1500, 2000, and 2500 calories as well as recipes with 300, 500, and 700 calories (four distinct recipe prompts were utilized for each calorie group). The calories of the resulting recipes and diet plans were calculated using nutrition databases and compared with the actual value.

What were the results?

As per the study, only prompt-2 in the 500-calorie group showed a significant change (p < 0.05), although there was no significant difference in the four distinct recipe prompts in the 300, 500, and 700-calorie groups (p > 0.05). "Among the diet plans provided by ChatGPT, there was no significant difference between the values of the 2500-calorie group and the actual calorie values in the control group (p > 0.05)," said the study.


The findings indicate that ChatGPT performs better at generating recipes with the desired calorie content than at creating complete daily diet plans. In this study, the calorie estimates for both diet plans and recipes produced by ChatGPT showed notable accuracy, closely aligning with actual values. However, further research is necessary to assess the tool’s reliability in nutritional science and the practicality of its suggested recipes for real-world consumption.An alarming new study has found that all adults in two out of 10 households are either overweight or obese. Overweight is defined as a body weight higher than what is considered healthy for a given height, commonly assessed using Body Mass Index (BMI). A person is considered overweight if his or her BMI is between 25 and 29.9 kg/m2. On the other hand, obesity is defined as a BMI of 30.0 kg/m2 or greater. The study was conducted by researchers from ICMR-National Institute for Cancer Prevention and Research (NICPR), TERI School of Advanced Studies and Symbiosis International analysed data from the fifth round of National Family Health Survey (NFHS-5, 2019-21) to assess the prevalence of overweight and obesity in over 6 lakh households.
