When I first started taking a GLP-1 medication, I was excited by the prospect of managing my weight more easily and feeling less hungry. However, as time went on, I began to realise that while my appetite was suppressed, it was harder to hit some of my nutritional goals, and having experienced a folate deficiency before, it wasn’t something I was keen to revisit. I found myself going from piling in protein to try and feel full, to a situation where I wasn’t getting enough protein and fibre in my diet. Find out why calorie cycling was the answer for me.

If, like me, you’re taking a GLP-1 medication, you’re likely on a mission to improve your health - and that’s a powerful move. But along the way, we might notice the whispers (or shouts) of diet culture creeping in: "Eat less! Be smaller! Push harder!" It’s tempting to buy into these messages, especially when taking a medication often associated with weight loss. But rejecting diet culture is essential for our long term health, happiness and peace of mind. This article explores why.

When it comes to weight management, one of the most common challenges is reducing portion sizes without feeling like you're missing out. It’s tempting to pile your plate high or go back for seconds, especially if the food is delicious. But with a few smart strategies, you can manage your portion sizes, enjoy your meals, and still feel satisfied. In this post we explore 11 tips on how not to feel deprived.

When I first started using GLP-1 medication (Wegovy), I was excited, and nervous, about the potential benefits for my weight loss journey. However, I quickly realised that while GLP-1 injections can help with appetite control and satiety, it still required a conscious effort to balance my diet effectively. The key to my success thus far has been finding a meal plan that works in harmony with Wegovy, so I can maintain healthy eating habits whilst maximising the treatment’s effects.
