Why this is epic

1-2 lbs/week is hormonally sustainable. Faster = crash metabolism + regain.

On the other hand, generic prompts work fine for simple lookups. Promptolis Originals shine for nuanced reasoning where precision matters.
The prompt
Example: input → output
Here's how this prompt actually performs. Real input below, real output from Claude Opus 4.
<target-loss>35 lbs</target-loss> <current-weight>220 lbs (5'10" male, 45)</current-weight> <past-diet-history>Keto lost 15 lbs, regained 20. Weight Watchers lost 10 lbs, regained 15. Multiple smaller attempts.</past-diet-history> <medical-context>Slightly elevated cholesterol, no diabetes yet but family history</medical-context>
Realistic Timeline
35 lbs at 1-1.5 lbs/week = 30-35 weeks. 8 months realistic.
NOT: 35 lbs in 3 months (crash).
Your diet history shows clear pattern: crash diet + regain with interest. This time, different approach.
Pattern Shifts (8-week build)
Week 1-2: Eating window + protein
- 3 meals daily, no grazing
- Each meal: 40+g protein
- Last meal by 8pm
- That's it. Don't count calories yet.
Week 3-4: Add fiber
- Each meal: ½ plate vegetables
- Fruit 1-2× daily
- Whole grains replace refined
Week 5-6: Reduce ultra-processed
- Identify top 3 ultra-processed items you consume
- Swap for whole-food version (chips → nuts; soda → sparkling water + lime; cookies → fruit)
Week 7-8: Movement
- Daily 30-min walk
- 2× strength training weekly
After 8 weeks of these shifts, you'll have lost 8-15 lbs without counting calories. Metabolic signals realign. From there: sustain or adjust.
Tracking (non-obsessive)
- Weigh 1× weekly same day (not daily — stress-inducing)
- Measure waist monthly
- Photos monthly
- Energy + sleep quality notes
NOT: daily scale anxiety. Weekly trends matter.
Plateau Protocol
After 4-6 weeks of loss, typically plateau (metabolic adaptation). Don't panic:
- Maintain pattern 2-3 more weeks
- If continues plateau, small adjustment (slightly more protein, slight calorie tracking for 2 weeks, or add cardio)
- Avoid drastic cuts — causes crash cycle
When Professional Support
- Cholesterol + family diabetes history → regular bloodwork (3-6 months)
- Weight loss >50 lbs → physician oversight
- Eating pattern feels obsessive → eating-disorder-informed RDN
- Medications affecting weight → endocrinologist
- Plateau > 8 weeks with consistent pattern → RDN to audit

Pro tips
- Scale fluctuates 2-4 lbs daily. Weekly average matters.
- Measurements (waist) + photos often show changes scale doesn't.
- Protein-first + fiber-forward meals key.
- Sleep + stress + exercise all interact.
- Medical supervision for >50 lbs target.
Customization tips
- For women: hormonal fluctuations affect weekly weigh-in more. Monthly average more reliable.
- For menopause: metabolism shifts. Hormone + exercise + nutrition triad matters.
- For diabetes-risk: carb quality + quantity. Endocrinologist coordination.
- For medication-related weight (antidepressants, antipsychotics): different work; psychiatrist coordination.
