> Many people tell me I need to lift weights to lose weight.
No you dont. Exercise does help, and has many other benefits but is not the main driving factor for losing weight. Diet is by far the most important one. Calories intake vs expenditure is the only thing you need to worry about if your primary goal is weight loss.
I added custom instruction under my Profile settings in the "personal preferences" text box. Something along the lines of "I like to discuss things before wanting the code. Only generate code when I prompt for it. Any question should be answered to as a discussion first and only when prompted should the implementation code be provided". It works well, occasionally I want to see the code straight away but this does not happen as often.
