A young woman, struggling with PCOS lost around five kilograms of weight with the help of strict instructions given by ChatGPT within a span of 40 days. For Anjani Bhoj, who tried, tested, and failed all possible ways to lose weight – fad diets and exercise regimes – this 24x7 available personalised diet coach created a plan tailored to her needs, and it worked!
Using the AI-powered tool, Anjani not only followed a customised diet plan but also started losing weight and inches within three weeks.
How did ChatGPT help Anjani?
On Instagram, Anjani shared her weight loss journey, explaining how an internet tool understood her body and worked accordingly. "I lost 5 kg in 40 days… And no, it wasn't magic. It was me, ChatGPT, and a whole lotta 'I don't feel like it, but I'll still do it for myself and for my body.”
Anjani reveals the exact prompt she used for her weight loss journey, encouraging others to “copy-paste it into ChatGPT and tweak it for your goals.”
Battling PCOS
Since Anjani battled PCOS – also known as Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, a common hormonal disorder in women of reproductive age – it became difficult for her to lose weight. And so, ChatGPT formulated a plan for her accordingly.
Anjani said her prompt read: 'Hi ChatGPT', I'm [Your Name], [Your Age], [Height] and [Weight]. I have PCOS (controlled); if you don't, skip this step. I want to lose fat and build lean muscle. I work out 5 days a week. Please give me a weekly workout and diet plan. I eat chicken, eggs, basil seeds, salads, and whey. I avoid dairy and gluten [based on your eating preferences].
"I have PCOS - That means bloating, cravings, low energy, and stubborn fat that just doesn't wanna leave!! "But this time, ChatGPT had a plan, a real one," she wrote.
Thereafter, the AI tool created a 40-day workout and meal plan that did not involve any extreme cardio or starving. Her plan only needed regularity, consistency, patience, and showing up. “Even when I had zero motivation, I kept going,” she wrote. "There were days I didn't wanna move. Days my hormones were raging and my motivation was MIA. But every single time I wanted to quit, I reminded myself, 'You've done harder things than this, Nini.'"
Anjani said her weight, which is going to be a continuous journey, taught her what discipline meant. “Not only did I lose 5 kilos, but I gained something much, much bigger: discipline, strength, and trust in myself to do anything I put my mind to. I have always been a quitter, whether it's quitting alcohol, sugar, bad habits, or just bad surroundings. I've failed so many times, but for the first time, this feels like a win. And that's what keeps me going," she added.

How does PCOS lead to weight gain in women?
PCOS is the most common hormonal disorder in women of childbearing age and can lead to issues with fertility. Women who have PCOS have higher levels of male hormones and are also less sensitive to insulin or are “insulin-resistant”. Many are overweight or obese. As a result, these women can be at a higher risk of diabetes, heart disease, sleep apnea, and uterine cancer.
If you have PCOS, certain lifestyle changes can help you shed pounds and reduce the disease's severity.
