Changing appetite
You will likely find your appetite changes while on GLP-1s. This can be confusing to navigate. How much should you be eating? What if you’re never hungry? A dietitian can help answer these questions and more, ensuring you’re eating the right amount to meet your goals and maintain your health.
Knowing what to eat
When you don’t feel hungry or your taste buds are different, it can feel impossible to know what to eat. Working with a dietitian helps cut through the noise to find the right solution for you based on your individual side effects and preferences. Your dietitian can provide nutritious meal ideas and recipes that keep you satisfied as you work toward your goals.
Combating side effects
Dealing with nausea and other GI issues can feel uncomfortable, and everyone experiences GLP-1 side effects differently. Working with a registered dietitian is the best way to navigate these unpredictable issues and can help you find balance faster than if you tried to handle it all on your own.
Achieving sustainable results
While most people go on GLP-1s for weight loss, rapid weight loss is often unsustainable, and it’s possible to gain weight back after stopping the medication. To combat this, work with a dietitian who can ensure your results are sustainable and long-lasting by overseeing your intake both on and off the medication.
