If you’ve started a GLP-1 weight loss jab (such as Ozempic or Wegovy), you may already notice changes in your appetite. These medications can be powerful tools, but they’re not the full solution. Many people still struggle with low energy, bloating, or confusion about what to eat.
The truth is: nutrition is key. Without the right foods, your body may not
respond as well, and results can feel frustrating or unsustainable.
That’s where I can help. As a registered nutritionist, I guide people using GLP-1 medications to eat in a way that supports their body, energy, and long-term health.

How GLP-1 Works
GLP-1 medications slow digestion and help control appetite, which often leads to eating less. But because you’re eating less, the quality of what you eat matters even more.
Without proper nutrients, people often experience:
Energy crashes
Poor digestion or bloating
Nutrient deficiencies over time
Plateaus in weight loss
Why Nutrition Still Matters on GLP-1
Taking a jab doesn’t replace learning how to fuel your body.Nutrition helps to:
Keep energy levels steady
Reduce bloating and improve digestion
Support blood sugar balance (especially important for pre-diabetes or diabetes)
Protect muscle while losing weight
Build sustainable habits that last beyond medication use
It’s not only about eating less — it’s about giving your body the right balance of foods so it can thrive.
Common Challenges & How to Overcome Them
1. Feeling bloated despite “healthy” foods
👉 A low GL (glycaemic load) diet reduces blood sugar spikes and helps calm digestion.
3. Confusion about carbs
👉 It’s not about cutting carbs completely, but choosing the right type and portion.
4. Muscle loss or weakness
👉 Prioritising protein and resistance-friendly foods helps protect muscle while you lose fat.
5. Trying probiotics or kefir but still feeling off
👉 Gut health is more than just supplements — your daily food choices make the biggest difference.
