How to lose weight without exercising

Whole-Food, Plant-Based Diet.

Cut off all processed junk, including all refined foods (white rice, white bread, butter and nut butters, cheese, etc., can all be seen as refined foods). Only consume foods in their closest-to-original form.

Ok I posted originally in this thread but I have to update my original advice because what I said is part right.

I’ve been using Claude to track my calories and it’s excellent. Tell Claude you wanna lose weight, take photos of everything you eat and give him good descriptions of it. You have to log everything, literally everything you eat and drink with calories in it. He will help you set your daily intake and macros and estimate your sedimentary burn. I’ve lost several kilos since last April doing this. if you have any questions how to set this up, let me know and I can give you the prompt and help you get on track.

The second part I wanna correct from my first response is you will feel better doing this. Your physique still won’t be great, you will still need to lift weights to build a physique you want, but losing weight and getting lean def helps with energy and it is an improvement that gathers momentum.

I think using AI like this is so good for finding holes where we aren't hitting macro and micronutrients.

I do similar to get an idea of what I need to balance energy against my heavy cycling training. For myself though, it's with the aim of NOT losing weight. I have trouble with underfueling more than over.

The only issue I have with it is quantifying oil in food. That's a hard one AI can miss. And considering fats are 7cal per g (as opposed to 4g per carb/protein) it can rather insidiously let calories creep in (not bad for me necessarily ☺️). I tend to focus on fats as this are key for my general well-being more than any other macro.

Thanks for sharing !
