US YouTuber Loses 11 kg In 46 Days Using AI-Created Plan, Shares Daily Routine
A US YouTuber is going viral after he achieved a remarkable weight loss of 11 kgs in just 46 days. What's impressive about Cody Crone's weight loss journey is that he achieved it without fad diets or personal trainers. Instead, he relied solely on a diet and routine prescribed by AI, specifically ChatGPT, which guided him to lose 11 kgs in 46 days. Mr Crone, a married father of two from the Pacific Northwest, shared his transformation journey on YouTube, stating he was previously ashamed of his physical condition. He then utilised ChatGPT to create a personalised routine tailored to his goals and lifestyle. The 56-year-old adopted a disciplined regimen that included healthy eating, regular workouts, hydration, and a consistent sleep schedule. With the AI's guidance, he transformed his physique, losing 11 kgs in 46 days and dropping from 95 kg to 83 kg. He also set up a home gym with equipment like resistance bands, kettlebells, and a weight vest. Check out the video here: The diet and routine he followed His diet consisted of whole, nutrient-rich foods like grass-fed meats, steel-cut oats, jasmine rice, olive oil, and greens. He eliminated processed foods, seed oils, sugar, and dairy, opting instead for high-quality, organic, and hormone-free ingredients. To support his training and recovery, Mr Crone added supplements to his daily routine, including creatine, beta-alanine, collagen, whey protein, and magnesium. His daily regimen consisted of waking up at 4:30 am for a 60-90 minute workout in his garage gym, six days a week. He prioritised sleep hygiene by avoiding screens before bedtime, using blackout curtains, and switching to natural bedding materials. Additionally, he consumed a spoonful of local raw honey before sleep to aid rest and recovery. Mr Crone also emphasised morning sunlight exposure, drank around four litres of water daily (stopping in the early evening), and ensured uninterrupted sleep each night. He tracked his progress with daily weigh-ins, allowing ChatGPT to make adjustments to his plan accordingly. Mr Crone emphasised that his weight loss journey didn't involve drugs or medications like Ozempic. Instead, he focused on whole foods, hydration, regular exercise, and quality sleep. This approach not only helped him shed weight but also brought about other benefits, including increased strength and muscle mass, reduced inflammation and joint pain, and improved mental clarity and confidence.

How a 56-year-old man used ChatGPT to drop 11 kg in just 46 days
A YouTuber based in the Pacific Northwest has caught the Internet's attention as he stunned his viewers by losing 11 kilograms in 46 days. When most people consult a dietitian and sign up for a gym membership, Cody Crone turned to artificial intelligence (AI) for his remarkable transformation. In a video uploaded on May 17, Crone opened up about his dramatic transformation, revealing that he went from 209 lbs (95 kg) to 183.8 lbs (83 kg) with no shortcuts, no dietary restrictions, and no drugs, The Economic Times reported. 'I was ashamed of my physical health and knew I had to make a change,' Crone said in the video. According to the report, the YouTuber turned to ChatGPT for help and used the platform to craft a routine based on his goals and lifestyle, the report said. Crone, a husband and father of two, said he created a disciplined and structured routine that included clean eating, consistent workouts, hydration, and a good sleep cycle. The report said he ate just two meals, with a long fasting window and no eating after 5 pm. His meals included whole, nutrient-rich foods such as grass-fed meats, steel-cut oats, jasmine rice, olive oil, and greens. He completely cut off processed foods, seed oils, sugar, and dairy, focusing on high-quality, organic, hormone-free ingredients. The report added that Crone also incorporated supplements in his daily routine, including creatine, beta-alanine, collagen, whey protein, and magnesium, to support his training and recovery. He woke up at 4.30 am every day, and exercised in his garage gym for 60 to 90 minutes six days a week. He worked on his sleep cycle, with no screens an hour before bed, blackout curtains, and the elimination of synthetic materials in his bedding. He also included a spoonful of local raw honey before sleep to support rest and recovery. He prioritised natural light exposure every morning, drank nearly four litres of water daily, but stopped hydration by early evening, and ensured consistent, distraction-free sleep each night. His progress was tracked through daily weigh-ins, based on which ChatGPT adjusted the plan, the report added. Crone said, the report added, his transformation did not rely on any weight-loss medications like Ozempic. 'No drugs, no shortcuts, just whole foods, water, exercise, and sleep,' he said. Other than weight loss and a full-body reset, Crone said the regimen he followed reduced inflammation, improved his joint health, provided better mental clarity, and boosted his confidence.

No gym, no weight loss drugs: Man shares how he lost 13 kgs in 2 months through power of AI
Turns out AI can not just help you write your thesis and create dreamy anime pics but also be a free fitness coach! At 56, American YouTuber Cody Crone made a powerful decision to reclaim his physical well-being after realizing he was unhappy with the shape he was in. Residing in the Pacific Northwest with his wife and two children, Crone reached a turning point and sought support not from a personal trainer or doctor, but from artificial intelligence. He turned to ChatGPT to devise a personalized health regimen , and the outcomes were nothing short of remarkable. Over the course of just 60 days, he shed an impressive 13 kilograms, dropping from 209 pounds (approximately 95 kg) to 183.8 pounds (roughly 83 kg). On May 17, Crone uploaded a video to his YouTube channel documenting the entire process—from his motivations to the structured diet and disciplined routine that helped him reach his goals. Rather than depending on popular weight loss drugs or shortcuts, he followed a focused plan centered around nutrition, physical activity, proper sleep, and hydration, all designed through an AI consultation. "I made ChatGPT my nutritionist and fitness expert," he stated. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 목에 주름이 생기는 '진짜' 이유 뷰앤디 더 알아보기 Undo Smart Nutrition Through AI Crone's meals followed a minimalist yet nutrient-dense format. His day typically began with a protein-rich breakfast consisting of four eggs, half a pound of lean, grass-fed ground beef, and a third of a cup of steel-cut oats. He made sure to avoid sugar and opted for premium-quality salt along with a greens supplement to boost his micronutrient intake. For dinner, his plate included a third of a cup of jasmine rice paired with eight ounces of lean, hormone-free, grass-fed meat, such as New York steak. He added healthy fats through either high-quality olive oil or half an avocado. Processed foods, seed oils, refined sugar, and dairy were all completely excluded from his diet. Crone was deliberate about using the highest quality ingredients available—organic produce, grass-fed proteins, and hormone-free meats formed the foundation of his food intake. Discipline in Daily Routine The AI-generated plan emphasized structure and discipline. Crone consumed just two meals per day within a strict eating window, ensuring no food was eaten after 5 PM. Supplementation was tailored for both pre- and post-workout needs and included creatine, beta-alanine, whey protein, collagen, magnesium, and other health-enhancing compounds. Workout Regimen He woke up daily at 4:30 AM and exercised in his home garage at 6:00 AM. These workouts lasted between 60 and 90 minutes and were done six days a week. Crone maintained that he did not have access to a gym but did have some kettlebells at home. He bought some basic equipment, as AI suggested, and turned his garage into a mini makeshift gym. For optimal rest, his evenings followed a strict digital detox. He avoided screens an hour before bed, used blackout curtains, and stayed away from synthetic bedding. Eating a small amount of local raw honey before sleep helped improve his rest. Hydration was also essential—he drank about four liters of water daily, stopping intake by early evening to avoid disrupting his sleep. His nights were dedicated to seven to eight hours of deep, uninterrupted rest, free from noise, light, and electronic distractions. He also ensured he got 15–20 minutes of morning sunlight each day to support his circadian rhythm. To track progress, Crone monitored his weight each morning in a fasted state and recorded the results in a journal, allowing AI to tweak his plan as needed. Importantly, Crone clarified that he did not turn to any commercial weight loss products like Ozempic. His transformation was powered purely by whole foods, regular exercise, quality sleep, and consistent discipline—crafted and guided entirely through the support of artificial intelligence.

Family asking for help after plane crash destroys car
SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) — Days after a small plane crashed into a Murphy Canyon neighborhood, killing all six people on board, survivors on the ground are facing the emotional and financial toll of the disaster — including residents whose vehicles were destroyed by flaming jet fuel that poured through the streets. Home security footage from a Ring camera captured the moment burning fuel flowed down a gutter, igniting cars along Taussig Street. One of those vehicles was a Kia Soul owned by Nichole Crone, who lives in the neighborhood with her husband, a U.S. Navy service member, and their three children. Temporary fence set up around site of deadly plane crash in San Diego 'We got woken up about 4 a.m. by our son,' Crone said. 'He sleeps with his window open, and he heard the tires on the car popping. That's what woke him up — that's what woke us up.' Crone requested her face not be shown for privacy reasons but wanted her story told. Just moments after a Cessna 550 struck power lines and stadium lights before crashing into a home on Sample Street, Crone and her family watched as her parked car was engulfed in flames. 'A lot of people were panicking, telling us to get out, to leave, because they thought the car was going to explode,' she said. 'So we were panicking.' 'Debris everywhere still burning': Family whose house was hit by plane shares what they saw Crone said her vehicle is typically not parked on that side of the street — except on trash days. 'It was trash day, and normally our car would be right in front of our house,' she said. 'But our trash cans had to go out the night before.' Adding to their hardship, Crone said her insurance provider, USAA, recently informed her that it would not cover the full cost of the vehicle. 'They want to give us like $15,885, minus our $1,000 deductible, and we still owe like $19,000,' she said. VIDEO: Fireball erupts as plane crashes in San Diego The family depends on two vehicles: Crone uses her car for Instacart deliveries to supplement their income and to transport one of her children, who has autism, to several therapy appointments each week. Their other vehicle is used by her husband for commuting to Coronado. 'We're stressed out,' Crone said. 'We just got that second vehicle two months ago. We're already struggling with both car payments, and now we lost a vehicle and still have to make payments on it.' A friend has started an online fundraiser to help the family recover. Crone said she hopes the insurance company reconsiders the payout, given the circumstances. 'It wasn't only us that this happened to,' she said. 'But for us specifically, it's just hard to understand why insurance wouldn't pay off the car in full. This wasn't our fault.' Despite the high mileage on the car, Crone said she and her husband are continuing discussions with insurance representatives in hopes of reaching a resolution.

New doc reveals how vaping has reached ‘epidemic' proportions in school
'We had one incident where two students' heart rates increased to the point where they became unconscious' Pupils are being found unconscious at educational establishments because of a growing vaping 'epidemic', according to a representative of a school principals' body. 'We had one incident where two students' heart rates increased to the point where they became unconscious,' reveals Paul Crone, director of the National Association of Principals and Deputy Principals (NAPD). 'Nobody knew what they had taken. Nobody knew. They were just found unconscious in the school toilets. 'Record numbers of them are taking up vaping — I would say it's at epidemic proportions.' Mr Crone is one of several people interviewed as part of Virgin Media's Vaping Nation documentary. An increasing number of Irish school children are vaping 'About two to three years ago we really started to notice the incidence of vaping was increasing hugely in schools and over a short period of time it became epidemic level in schools and it became the biggest issue that schools had to deal with,' he explains. 'When initially you saw it with the senior students, the fifth– and sixth-years, but it slowly began to creep back into the third-years and the second-years, so it became younger and younger students were involving themselves and getting involved in vaping. An increasing number of Irish school children are vaping News in 90 Seconds - May 19th 'Traditionally, we would have seen senior cycle students would have taken up smoking as they get a little bit older, but vaping became so easy and so popular, and they viewed it as part of their socialisation. 'As school leaders we thought we had beaten smoking. We had seen a significant drop in the number of students smoking — it was not popular to be smoking.' In Ireland, one in every 12 people use vapes or e-cigarettes, a figure that rises among young people. Paul Crone The Vaping Nation documentary — presented by Virgin Media reported Mairéad Carey — features other frontline voices including healthcare professionals, educators, and addiction specialists who are witnessing the impact of vaping on under-18s. Mr Crone maintains students are taking measures to disguise what they're up to. 'There is a lot of students that would hide it, and I know I've spoken to school principals who would confiscate vapes off students and they'd call the parents and the parents would deny that their child was vaping, only the evidence was there in front of them,' he says. 'So, students are hiding it from their parents, they're hiding it from their teachers. Now if a student was smoking, or an adult was smoking, you can smell it off their breath, you can smell it off their clothes. There is no smell off the vapes, or if there is it's the smell of a bubblegum or a sweet, or a perfume you'd expect to smell.' Mr Crone confirms students don't realise the impact of the habit. 'At 14, 15, 16 years of age we all thought we were invincible back then,' he reflects. 'They don't see any immediate impact. The immediate impact they can feel would be the hit that they would get that would give them a little bit of energy from the nicotine, but equally as that addiction kicks in students will start to notice irritability, anxiety, little bits of aggression keeping in, lack of concentration, students just not being focused on the task at hand and having a reduced concentration span, and that becomes much worse as students try to wean off the nicotine addiction. 'Parents might notice that at home that they're [children] not sleeping well, they're waking up tired, it's hard to get them out of bed in the morning, that they don't follow through on their actions, and we're seeing all of that in schools. 'The big fear is that they are doing themselves the damage that they're not going to reach their potential. 'But there would be a genuine belief among teachers that it is having a significant impact on students and it is contributing to potentially students underperforming in state exams.' He stresses that many experts still don't know exactly what people are inhaling. 'There is a fear that we don't know what's in the vape,' says Mr Crone. 'We assume its nicotine, or tobacco, or whatever it is, but there are increasing reports that HHC or CBD oil are in the vapers, so we have had a number of critical incidents in schools.' Professor Bobby Smyth, consultant child and adolescent psychiatrist with the HSE Addiction Services, says: 'If you asked me two years ago, I would have said 'what is HHC?' and at this point it's part of the picture in about a quarter of cases.' The programme also explores how the tobacco industry has responded to this relatively new trend, with critics warning of familiar marketing tactics aimed at young consumers.
