Your GLP-1 Bestie

Are you actually eating enough on your GLP-1?
If you're taking Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, or Zepbound, you may be eating significantly less than you did before—and that's partly the point. But there's an important difference between having a reduced appetite and not adequately nourishing your body.
Maybe you're rarely hungry anymore. Maybe you get to the end of the day and realize you've barely eaten. Or maybe the scale is moving quickly, so you've assumed that eating as little as possible means your medication is "working."
In this episode, Registered Dietitian and GLP-1 expert Gianna breaks down how to recognize when your intake may be too low, why eating enough still matters during weight loss, and practical ways to nourish yourself when your appetite has practically disappeared.
Because your GLP-1 may reduce your appetite—but it doesn't reduce your body's need for nutrition.
In this episode, you'll learn:
How to tell if you may not be eating enough on a GLP-1
Why having no appetite isn't necessarily the goal
Signs that may warrant a closer look at your nutrition
Why fatigue, weakness, dizziness, constipation, and hair changes can sometimes be clues—but can also have other causes
Why eating only once or twice a day can make meeting your nutrition needs difficult
Why faster weight loss isn't automatically better weight loss
How under-fueling can affect energy, muscle, recovery, and nutrient intake
Why protein isn't the only nutrient that matters
How to create regular eating opportunities when hunger cues are quiet
Easy foods to reach for when you don't feel like eating
When low appetite or GI side effects deserve a conversation with your healthcare provider
Emerging evidence and professional guidance increasingly emphasize maintaining adequate protein, fiber, micronutrients, hydration, and muscle health as intake falls during GLP-1 treatment.

What should you actually buy at the grocery store when you’re taking a GLP-1?
If you’re taking Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, or Zepbound and you’ve ever found yourself wandering the grocery store wondering what foods you should be eating, this episode is for you.
As a Registered Dietitian and GLP-1 user myself, I’m taking you grocery shopping with me! We’re walking aisle by aisle through the foods I keep on hand to make eating well on a GLP-1 simpler, more satisfying, and much more realistic.
We’re talking easy protein sources, fiber-rich foods, fruits and vegetables, freezer staples, carbohydrates, snacks, and the convenience foods I have absolutely no problem recommending.
Because you don’t need a cart full of expensive “health foods” or a perfectly meal-prepped refrigerator to nourish yourself well on a GLP-1. You need foods you enjoy, foods you’ll actually eat, and options that make taking care of yourself easier when your appetite, schedule, and energy aren’t always predictable.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
What to buy at the grocery store while taking a GLP-1
The protein foods I recommend keeping on hand
Easy options for days when your appetite is low
Fiber-rich foods that can support your overall nutrition and digestive health
Why frozen fruits and vegetables absolutely count
My favorite freezer and pantry staples for quick meals
Why carbohydrates still belong in your grocery cart
How convenience foods can make healthy eating more sustainable
How to shop for your actual life instead of the imaginary week where you cook every meal from scratch
How to build a grocery cart that makes balanced eating easier
Whether you’re brand new to a GLP-1 or simply tired of overthinking every trip to the grocery store, consider this your realistic GLP-1 grocery shopping guide.
