GLP-1 Nutrition Support
Taking a GLP-1 Medication But Unsure What to Eat?
Many women are finding that weight loss medications such as Mounjaro and Wegovy can help reduce appetite and support weight loss.
However, the medication itself doesn't teach you how to nourish your body, build healthy habits, protect muscle mass, or maintain results long term.
You may be wondering:
-
How much protein should I be eating?
-
Why am I feeling tired or lacking energy?
-
How do I manage digestive symptoms?
-
What if I am eating very little but still not feeling my best?
-
How can I avoid losing muscle as I lose weight?
-
What happens when I stop taking the medication?
-
How do I build habits that last?
This is where nutrition and behaviour change support can make a real difference.
I help women use nutrition and lifestyle strategies alongside GLP-1 medications to support their health, confidence and long-term success.

You Don't Need Another Meal Plan
Most people already know they should eat more vegetables, prioritise protein and reduce ultra-processed foods.
The challenge is putting those habits into practice consistently.
My approach combines evidence-based nutrition with behaviour change coaching to help you:
-
Build sustainable eating habits
-
Improve protein intake
-
Support muscle maintenance
-
Improve energy levels
-
Manage food choices with confidence
-
Navigate social events and eating out

This is not about perfection, restriction or following a rigid diet.
It's about finding an approach that works in real life.
Nutrition Support While Using GLP-1 Medications
Protein and Muscle Maintenance
When appetite is reduced, it can become difficult to eat enough protein.
This may increase the risk of losing muscle alongside body fat.
Together we can work on:
-
Meeting your protein needs
-
Building balanced meals
-
Easy high-protein meal ideas
-
Strengthening your nutrition foundations
-
Supporting healthy body composition
Managing Digestive Symptoms
Some people experience:
-
Nausea
-
Bloating
-
Constipation
-
Changes in bowel habits
-
Food aversions
Nutrition strategies can help you identify practical ways to manage these symptoms and improve day-to-day comfort.
Supporting Energy and Nutrient Intake
Eating less can sometimes mean taking in fewer nutrients than your body needs.
We can focus on:
-
Nutrient-dense meals
-
Meal structure and timing
-
Practical meal planning
-
Supporting overall nutritional adequacy
Building Long-Term Habits
Weight loss medication can support appetite regulation, but lasting success often depends on the habits built alongside it.
Behaviour change coaching helps you:
-
Understand your eating patterns
-
Build confidence around food
-
Develop consistent routines
-
Stay on track during busy periods
-
Create sustainable changes that continue beyond the medication

Frequently Asked Questions – GLP-1 Nutrition Support
Do I need to be on a GLP-1 medication to work with you?
No. You can be currently taking a GLP-1 medication such as Mounjaro or Wegovy, considering one, or simply wanting to understand how to support your metabolism and habits more effectively. The nutrition and behaviour change support is tailored to your current situation.
What if I’m not sure whether GLP-1 medication is right for me?
That’s completely fine. Part of the support can involve helping you understand how to nourish your body and build habits whether or not you choose to use medication. Any decisions about medication itself should always be discussed with your GP or prescribing clinician.
Can you help me if I have PCOS as well as taking GLP-1 medication?
Yes. Many of the women I support have PCOS alongside insulin resistance or weight concerns. The approach focuses on blood sugar balance, protein intake, energy stability and sustainable habits, which are relevant across both PCOS and GLP-1 use.
Will I need to follow a strict diet plan?
No. This is not a restrictive diet programme. Instead, the focus is on building practical, sustainable eating habits that work in real life. This may include structure around meals, protein guidance and simple food ideas, but not rigid rules or calorie-controlled plans.
What if I experience side effects like nausea or low appetite?
Some people experience digestive changes when taking GLP-1 medications. Nutrition strategies can help you adapt your eating patterns to support comfort and nutrient intake. This may include adjusting meal size, timing and food choices based on your tolerance.
How does behaviour change coaching fit into this?
Knowing what to eat is rarely the main challenge. Behaviour change coaching helps you turn knowledge into consistent action. This may involve building routines, managing cravings, improving consistency and supporting long-term habits that last beyond short-term motivation or medication use.
Will this help me maintain weight loss long-term?
The focus is on building the foundations needed for long-term metabolic health and weight maintenance. This includes nutrition structure, protein intake, muscle support and sustainable habits. However, individual outcomes vary and depend on many factors, including medical history, consistency and lifestyle.
Is this suitable if I plan to stop GLP-1 medication in the future?
Yes. In fact, this is an important part of the work. Many people benefit from support when transitioning off medication to help maintain habits, structure and metabolic stability over time.
Is this a medical service?
No. This is nutritional therapy and behaviour change coaching. It does not replace medical care. Any decisions regarding medication should always be made with your GP or prescribing clinician.
