Is anyone else using AI?
I have been doing ketogains over the last 2 weeks for the first time in life, mostly for body recomposition / fat loss, and already seeing encouraging results. All thanks to help from Gemini and Claude! Wanted to share my experience, in case it helps others.
I had done months-long keto 4 times before successfully, but always plateaued / stopped at higher end of my healthy BMI (before eventual rebound) t- I knew I needed to transition to a different training and eating plan such as ketogains, but the sheer complexity (training and meal / macro planning) was way too much, especially given my pretty intensive office job. Since AI was already very useful at work massively, I decided in early July to give it a try with my training and meal plans - and it all went so smoothly!
Both Gemini and Claude immediately understood the principles of ketogains much better than me, and with my prior exercise history + personal preferences, drew up sustainable weekly training plan incorporating what I didn’t like (lifting), what I liked (high intensity cardio and Pilates) and mandatory rest. Gemini especially was able to suggest various gym and studio classes (even replacement class if I missed the original one), at convenient locations and times. The plan in the end is just so easily executable, minimizing thinking and will power needed from me.
As for meal plans, I was firstly frankly astounded by the amount of lean meat required by ketogains. It would haven taken much longer to get it right on my own. I was able to ask AI for meal plans combining different cuisine, recipe, protein options, main meal vs snack etc, for easily executable and yet flexible daily meal plans - and every time I feel like deviating from it, I either get discouraged immediately, or offered adjustments for the rest of day for macro compliance (especially for both protein). It is so easy to log and track macros all day long, and stay 100% compliant. Gemini finds more recipes, but Claude is the real whip, so I use them both to make, adjust and audit meal plans.
Lastly, the instant analysis and feedback (salt shots when dizzy, electrolyte drinks before workout, magnesium before bed; sleep data analysis) made the first week transition really easy, physically and mentally. Gemini’s constant celebrations for even the smallest achievement on daily basis helps too ;p
Hope this helps others. If ever in doubt / feeling not right, ask your AI assistants. But use common sense / try understand the basic ketogains principles, because AI does hallucinate! Use AI smartly, and ketogains journey can become so much easier :)
