Watch Rob tell it — or read it below.
43 years overweight.
The first thing that ever stuck.
I'm 56, married, three teenage boys — and overweight for 43 years. Atkins, Weight Watchers, Noom, nutritionists, Peloton. None of it stuck.
Then my doctor told me I was prediabetic and needed to lose weight. So I started talking to an AI about everything I ate — every day, before any app existed.
Here's what actually changed things:
- I logged every day — no breaks, even the days I went off the rails.
- I got more protein, especially at breakfast, and stopped feeling so hungry.
- I caught a habit I never knew I had: grazing the pantry every afternoon out of boredom.
The AI didn't do the work for me. It just made sure I could never hide from it — no judgment. But keeping it going was its own job; every few days it forgot everything and I'd start over.
Twenty pounds later, it was the first thing in 43 years that ever worked. So Zachary and I built the version that doesn't forget.
About Rob's results. LivingLean doesn't cause weight loss on its own. It's an accountability partner and food coach — it helps you stay consistent with the changes you make. Rob's results came from months of daily logging and real changes to how he eats, and he achieved them using AI before LivingLean existed. What you get out of it depends on the work you put in.
