The blonde beauty, from Switzerland revealed that she has used Chat GPT to help her shed 7kg. Taking to Instagram to explain how she did it, Cristina revealed that she first asked the AI chatbot to help her work out a calorie deficit.

"Instead of using complicated apps, I just sent a voice message to ChatGPT each morning: what I ate, how many calories I wanted to eat that day — and it did all the work." She explained that, in the beginning, she had to tell the bot how much protein and fibre was in her foods, and how many calories they were. However, once she'd added a food once, it remembered how many calories were in it, meaning it became much quicker to track.

WHO IS ELIGIBLE FOR WEIGHT LOSS JABS ON THE NHS? NHS eligibility for weight loss injections has expanded but still lags behind the number who could potentially benefit from taking them. Wegovy, medical name semaglutide, is only available for weight loss through specialist weight management clinics. Patients are typically expected to have tried other weight loss methods before getting a prescription. They may be eligible if their body mass index (BMI) is higher than 30, or higher than 27 if they have a weight-related health condition such as high blood pressure. Mounjaro, known as tirzepatide, is also available from GP practices but currently only to patients with a BMI of 40 or higher (or 37.5 if from a minority ethnic background) plus four weight-related health conditions. The medicines are currently being rationed to the patients most in need. NHS watchdog NICE estimates that more than three million Brits will ultimately be eligible. The GLP-1 injections are prescribed separately by GPs for people with type 2 diabetes, and patients should discuss this with their doctor. "You look stunning!" A second person said: "I tried using your method and it worked really well! Thank you so much for sharing it. Advertisement "I used to get stuck and overwhelmed trying to calculate and research detailed nutrition info, it was really hard and confusing. "But tracking food using ChatGPT the way you showed is so much easier, more convenient, and way less stressful." A third added: "I did the same thing. It essentially helped cut out the cost of a nutritionist and helped me lose 20 pounds in a healthy, achievable and maintainable way."

Doctors gaslit me into thinking I wasn't ill – experts failed me & now I may never be a mother, reveals Vicky Pattison
HER fiery temper on Geordie Shore won over an army of fans – but even though Vicky Pattison has smoothed out her rough edges, she has still managed to become an unfiltered voice on issues that matter. And now she's tackling a cause that is close to her heart. Advertisement 3 Vicky Pattison says the UK healthcare system is failing women, including herself Credit: Shutterstock Editorial 3 It was when Vicky started dating her husband Ercan Ramadan seven years ago that her PMDD first emerged Credit: instagram In an exclusive chat with The Sun — which comes as she presents Vicky Pattison Investigates: Medical Misogyny today on Good Morning Britain — the former I'm A Celebrity winner tells us why the UK healthcare system is failing women, including herself. Vicky, 37, says: 'Women are so often the punching bags. 'At the moment, Advertisement Shocking statistics revealed today by GMB show three in five women have experienced reproductive health issues, yet a third have had to wait over a year for a diagnosis. Meanwhile, over half of them received a misdiagnosis, and 51 per cent said they had felt dismissed by a medical professional. It's a feeling that Vicky knows all too well as it took five years of being made to feel like she was overreacting before she was finally diagnosed with In the meantime, she was suffering from Her GP told her it was nothing unusual — she was just a bit more 'sensitive' than the average woman. Advertisement 'When I hit my 30s, my period symptoms started becoming increasingly heightened,' she says. 'In some of my more intense and darker moments, I had suicidal thoughts. I'm A Celeb winner set to join Strictly after wowing bosses while supporting pal in audience last year 'I knew what I was experiencing couldn't be right — it was just so debilitating. 'But for five years, I was "I was told everything from, 'This is just PMS, everyone experiences it, other women can just handle it better' to, 'This is psychological — you need antidepressants.' Advertisement 'I was told by one doctor, 'Maybe it'll be better if you lose weight.'' Her voice breaks when she reflects on the battle she still faces. Vicky says: 'Every month, you lose yourself — and as I've gotten older, it's gotten worse. "It used to last a few days, but now it's seven to ten days before my period. 'I'm anxious, I'm emotional, I'm exhausted, and I'm completely unrecognisable from the woman I am the rest of the time. Advertisement 'The things that bring me joy don't bring me joy.' It was only three years ago, after hitting countless dead ends, that she went to a private doctor — a step she knows many women can't take. 'SPICY MOMENTS' 'I broke down when she said I had PMDD,' Vicky says. 'I'd had five years of being gaslit.' Yet sadly for Vicky and so many other women, diagnosis is just the first step. She is still on the quest to find treatment that works. Advertisement She explains: 'I've read all the blogs, I follow all the accounts, I've got some great premenstrual supplements that I swear by. 'But even if you exercise, your diet is good and you're doing all those things you know help, you can't control the uncontrollable and the PMDD symptoms will rage. 'The only thing that helps me is communicating. "Whether it's to my agent, to the people I work with, or to my family, I say: 'I know what's about to happen. "There will be some spicy moments where I'm raging. Please know that's not me.''

'He'll just handle me with kid gloves. I am very lucky that I have a man who understands. 'I know everyone's not in that position, but they can't give you empathy if they don't understand, so do try to explain it.' Vicky's now written to She wants to see education on women's health improve in schools, get GPs more informed and give greater support to women in the workplace when they are in pain. Advertisement Vicky says: 'I know Wes Streeting is a busy man, and I don't think for one second he's going to see a letter from Vicky Pattison and think, 'Ooh I should make time for her.' 'But it's not about ignoring me. It's about what ignoring me says to women in Britain. "You are saying to half the population that our pain, our suffering, our quality of life doesn't matter. That is inexcusable.' Appearing alongside Vicky on GMB today are three women who have also been fobbed off by the healthcare system.

'I'm going to be a thorn in the side of people making decisions, because I believe it's important. 'I hope they're ready, because I'm fired up.'
