I recently got a full-body health test done, and to my surprise, despite having six-pack abs and an FFMI of 25 at 18% body fat (confirmed via DEXA in Bangalore), I realized I was wasting money on food I didn’t even need.
Living in the Himalayan region, I often struggled to find relevant diet recommendations—Google mostly suggests European or American dishes with ingredients that aren’t easily available here. So, I took a different approach. I asked AI to design a diet for me that was not only nutritionally balanced but also cost-effective. I added constraints like avoiding pesticides, minimizing the risk of adulteration, and focusing on seasonal foods.
The result? I slashed my food expenses from a staggering $800 per month to just $200. More importantly, after eight months on this diet, my health markers remain perfect—no deficiencies, no issues. I feel great, and it’s the most sustainable way of eating I’ve ever followed.
But wait you can do it manually too right? Yes, but you need to sit with pen and paper and workout what each type of food contains, then balance and all that mind numbing stuff (and worst part is that you cannot quickly change and adjust for it in later meals which AI can)
