Teens using AI meal plans could be eating too few calories — equivalent to skipping a meal (www.frontiersin.org)

Can AI tools make meal plans that help us lose weight the right way? In a new study, a team of researchers compared AI’s meal planning abilities to those of a dietician. The results showed that AI-made meal plans – when compared to dietician plans – severely undercalculated the needed amount of calories and macronutrients like carbs and overemphasized other macronutrients like proteins and lipids. The team cautioned that teens should not solely rely on AI to make meal plans for weight loss, saying that the consistent deviation of five different AI models from nutritional guidelines recommended by health organizations could have negative effects on growing bodies.

Losing weight too fast can destroy your organs, so this is a very stupid take.

seems the original commentor is downvoting us multiple times, with different ACCTS with bots.

It seems you're confusing starvation being bad with dieting being good.

Slowly eating fewer calories isn’t going to cause this. Quit overreacting

Lemmy logic on full display again. A user merely mentions that almost half the world's population is overweight and could stand to lose some weight - and the response is "stupid take, losing weight too fast can destroy your organs."

And people are actually upvoting that. Great. Just great. Good job, guys.
