AI Knows How to Help You Lose Weight Better Than Your Doctor – Here's How
In this episode, CJ sits down with Ro Huntriss, Chief Nutrition Officer at the Simple App and a registered dietitian with over a decade of experience. They dive into the future of personalized nutrition, the intersection of AI and health, and how sustainable habits—not rigid diets—lead to long-term success. If you've ever struggled with losing weight, plateaued in your progress, or felt overwhelmed by conflicting advice, this conversation breaks it all down into practical, science-backed steps.
Key Takeaways
- Personalization is the Future: One-size-fits-all diets are outdated. The Simple App uses AI and data to personalize fasting, nutrition, and movement tasks based on your habits, energy levels, and goals.
- Micro-Habits > Extreme Diets: Sustainable change happens through small, manageable habits repeated over time—not drastic overhauls. Examples include starting your fast at 9 p.m., adding fiber to dinner, or going for a 20-minute walk.
- Intermittent Fasting Demystified: There's no magic fasting window—16:8, 14:10, even 12:12 can work. What matters is consistency and finding what fits your life.
- Beware of Common Mistakes: Overeating “healthy” calorie-dense foods (like nuts), drinking alcohol, underestimating restaurant portions, and relying too heavily on exercise are all traps that hinder progress.
- Weight Loss ≠ Fat Loss: Preserving muscle mass is key to long-term health. Focus on protein intake and resistance training to avoid the “skinny fat” trap.
5 Things You Can Start Doing Today
- Pick One Tiny Habit – Whether it's logging your meals, fasting for 12 hours, or taking a short daily walk, start small and stay consistent.
- Prioritize Protein – Add a high-protein source to every meal to boost satiety and preserve muscle mass.
- Review Your Alcohol and “Healthy” Snacks – Count the calories in drinks, nuts, oils, and restaurant meals. Awareness is power.
- Celebrate Progress, Even Plateaus – Stalling is part of the journey. A plateau still means you've maintained progress. Don’t quit.
- Audit Your Environment – Is your tech, kitchen, and social circle supporting your goals? Use tools like the Simple App to build accountability.
