Artificial intelligence has arrived to occupy a very important position in the modern world, including spaces where the health of human beings can be improved.
Obesity as a public health problem is an issue that cannot be left aside by this advanced technology. Due to its great capacity to process multiple data, you can find specific and personalized solutions to lose weight.
Information is power, and, thanks to the vast amount of information that AI possesses, traditional dietary methods can be favored by this algorithm, not to displace nutritionists, but to be their co-pilot, providing unprecedented insights on each particular case.
Artificial intelligence has a plus point which is the ability of machine learning, which allows it to analyze all the data of an individual in real-time.
This means that it does not rely on predefined and limited rules that would yield generic meal plans but rather optimizes the intake of specific nutrients and adapts to changes that are brought up during progress monitoring.
Previously, fitness apps provided a limited number of training plans and some types of diets. Now, apps with an artificial intelligence-driven algorithm go further, analyzing biometric data, personal goals, and physical condition to ensure a personalized and efficient experience.
In addition, by using real-time monitoring with wearable devices such as watches, artificial intelligence obtains key health data such as heart rate, sleep, calories burned, and number of daily steps.
Being able to see the full analysis of the data can further motivate the user, making them more adherent to the weight loss plan.
Personalization is very important in the diet because it takes into account personal preferences, food allergies, intolerances, and possible nutrient deficiencies caused by the current diet.
This data opens up a world of possibilities in terms of the variety of foods, recipes, and specific combinations to achieve health and weight loss goals.
Once the AI obtains the necessary data and has identified the user's eating patterns, it can plan the optimization of nutrient intake automatically with specific calories, leaving out foods that may cause delays in progress and identifying the most appropriate weight loss method.
When weight loss data is recorded, the artificial intelligence can readjust the calorie count to match the new basal metabolic rate (BMI) and physical activity level to make progress without plateauing.
Artificial intelligence will build specific exercises, intensities, durations and training frequencies into a personalized routine. All of them would be designed to maximize results and minimize the risk of injury.
This technology is able to recognize the strengths and areas where the user needs to improve and formulates the combination of exercises according to their fitness goal.
Of course, with all the library of information that the artificial intelligence has been trained on, the workout plans have a wide range of variations, and the possibilities for customization are manifold.
Let's be honest; the idea of a virtual coach powered by artificial intelligence sounds as unreliable as searching the internet for your symptoms to find out what your diagnosis is without consulting a professional. But, we can see a big benefit due to technological advances, which makes it more reliable.
The number of answers you get when you search for a couple of medical symptoms is so overwhelming that you end up with more doubts than you started with.
Whereas an app that contains a virtual coach with AI elaborates answers, plans, and strategies based on all the data collected about you through questionnaires and wearable devices.
Therefore, you can trust that the proposed plan will be as tailored as possible to your needs. This does not mean that artificial intelligence is going to completely replace health and training professionals; rather, it becomes a tool to improve customer service.
First, the algorithm needs to obtain an immense amount of information in order to make a complete profile of the user. This includes their previous training history, dietary patterns, the use of fat burners as a method to lose weight, physical activity, and metabolism.
Metabolic data is obtained through age, gender, and anthropometric data. The virtual trainer can also ask questions regarding the types of foods you select, cravings, meal times, etc., which can create a metabolic profile that can predict how soon your body will be on track for sustained weight loss.
With the information collected, the AI coach can also identify obstacles such as weekend cravings, alcohol consumption, or sedentary lifestyles that may affect progress.
Providing your current health and fitness data can have certain advantages. Once your metabolic profile and health status are deeply analyzed by artificial intelligence, you can have a complete real-time view of your physical activity with continuous feedback.
The small goals achieved in terms of calories burned, steps completed and activity level are a great motivation for the user and allow a higher adherence with respect to the traditional way of training.
User behavior can be easily analyzed thanks to the interactions they have with the app. Some factors can be the type of activities they manage to complete, the hours of training and the meals they choose. It is also possible to know the time spent at rest by continuously monitoring the heart rate.
The degree of commitment of the user in complying with the daily recording of their data may also facilitate the prediction of their progress. Data can be obtained by requesting daily information about meals, mood, or hydration, providing a more accurate picture of how users behave.
One of the most important advantages of AI-powered apps is that they can have some resemblance to a game where you compete with yourself.
The feeling of "leveling up" comes from reaching small goals each week, like completing a certain number of steps or burning a specific number of calories. A constant motivation, analysis, and formulation of personalized strategies are all part of this process.
The combination of artificial intelligence with all the information that science has obtained over the decades about human behavior has become a powerful tool in the creation of personalized nutrition and training plans.
If used properly, it is possible to achieve weight loss by the hand of a virtual companion that will constantly analyze your results, reformulating strategies whenever necessary, thanks to its real-time data analysis capabilities and its ability to learn new information.
