OT but funny: I see a YouTube video with a lot of before and after photos where the coach guarantees results in 60 days. It was entirely focused on avoiding stress and strongly advised against caloric restriction. Something like sleeping is many times more important than exercise and exercise is many times more important than diet.

From what I know dieticians don't design exercise plans. (If true) the LLM has better odds to figure it out.

I would not say all of them but in general I agree, there is not one correct one but many correct ones.
