I’ve finally gotten my mum to lose weight!! I wish you guys knew how big of a deal this is to me 😭🙏🏼❤️

I love my mum to bits but being the typical old Asian woman she is, she is stubborn. She’s the type of person who refuses to learn and try new things. So when I say we tried everything, we literally tried every method of weight loss there was out there. But she refused, didn’t want to learn, or just gave up. And as her son who has been coaching and training for 13 years, and is doing this for a living, you can probably tell how frustrating this is for me. 

But after trying absolutely everything, we got her to lose 4kg (and counting) using… AI. Yep. The thing everyone is hating on because it won’t do the hard work for them. Shocker. 

If you’re a normal person with critical thinking skills, and saw my videos about my thoughts on AI food tracking, you’d know that I’m not telling you to use or rely on AI. It’s a tool just like any other and it’s about how you use it. And for my mum, who doesn’t even know how to send me a text message, this for some reason was the thing that has been working for her… That and Pokemon Go because she somehow taught herself how to play that. 

The AI will never be perfect but it doesn’t have to be. She had days where she tracked milkshakes and ice cream for 100 calories, but it didn’t matter. What mattered was that I told her she could eat whatever she wanted so long as she takes photos with the app and didn’t exceed her daily calories. And that’s exactly what she’s been doing which has gotten her down 4kg in 5 weeks so far. 

Not every diet will work for everyone, but if you’re determined to lose weight or reach your goals, are you going to give up if 1 method doesn’t work? Take my mum as an example. If a 61 year old woman is able to achieve her goals, there’s no reason why you can’t either.
