Frequently asked questions
Can a dietitian help with weight loss?
Yes. A Registered Dietitian can help you understand your eating patterns and build a personalized approach to weight management based on your health, lifestyle, food preferences and goals. The focus is on sustainable changes rather than another restrictive short-term diet.
What should I eat while taking a GLP-1 medication?
There is no single GLP-1 diet. When appetite is reduced, it can be helpful to prioritize nutrient-dense meals that provide enough protein, fibre, fluids, vitamins and minerals while adjusting portions and meal timing to what you tolerate comfortably.
Can a dietitian help if I’m taking Ozempic, Wegovy or Mounjaro?
Yes. A Registered Dietitian can provide nutrition support while you’re using GLP-1 or related medications, including help with protein, meal planning, hydration, fibre, appetite changes and maintaining a balanced eating pattern. Medication decisions and dose changes should remain with your prescribing healthcare provider.
How can I get enough protein while taking a GLP-1 medication?
Reduced appetite can make it harder to eat enough protein. A dietitian can help you choose protein-rich meals and snacks that fit the amount you’re comfortable eating while considering your overall nutrition needs, health conditions and food preferences.
