glp- 1 nutrition plans
Understanding GLP-1 Food Habits
GLP-1 medications slow digestion, meaning you feel full longer, but it’s harder to eat enough to meet nutritional needs, risking muscle and nutrient loss. A strategic diet ensures you get vital nutrients, maintain muscle mass through resistance training, and manage side effects like nausea or constipation, making the medication more effective for weight loss and health.
Key Nutritional Priorities
- Protein: Essential for muscle preservation as you lose fat. Aim for lean sources like chicken, fish, eggs, Greek yogurt, beans, and tofu. Protein shakes or smoothies can help meet targets when appetite is low.
- Fiber: Helps with fullness and digestion, crucial for preventing constipation. Eat leafy greens, berries, whole grains (oats, quinoa), and legumes.
- Healthy Fats: Slow stomach emptying and increase satiety. Sources include avocados, nuts, seeds (chia, flax), and fatty fish (salmon).
- Hydration: Drink plenty of water and sugar-free fluids to stay hydrated, which is vital for managing side effects and overall health.
Foods to Emphasise
- Lean Proteins: Chicken, turkey, fish, eggs, lentils, beans, Greek yogurt, tofu, cottage cheese.
- Vegetables: Leafy greens, carrots, bell peppers, broccoli, asparagus, sweet potatoes.
- Fruits: Berries, apples, pears, oranges (whole, not juice).
- Whole Grains: Oats, quinoa, barley, brown rice.
- Healthy Fats: Avocado, nuts, seeds, olive oil.
Foods & Habits to Limit –
- Processed Foods & Sugary Drinks: These offer little nutrition and can spike blood sugar.
- Large Meals: Focus on smaller, more frequent nutrient-dense meals and snacks.
- Alcohol: Can contribute empty calories and interfere with medication effects.

pre or post surgery
You’re already on the journey, hopefully with surgery booked in!
Gastric sleeve surgery, also known as sleeve gastrectomy, is a weight loss procedure that involves reducing the size of the stomach. During the surgery, a significant portion of the stomach is removed, creating a sleeve-shaped, smaller stomach. This smaller stomach limits the amount of food you can eat and helps you feel full sooner.
Additionally, the removed portion of the stomach contains cells that produce the hunger hormone ghrelin, so its removal can also reduce hunger. The combination of reduced stomach capacity and decreased appetite aids in significant and sustained weight loss.
