Stay on track this holiday season

As the holiday season approaches, staying on track with your wellness goals and enjoying celebrations can feel challenging. If you’re on GLP-1 medications, it’s essential to prioritize balanced nutrition and make mindful choices to support your treatment. These medications are designed to regulate appetite, control blood sugar, and aid in weight loss, but overindulgence or missing meals can interfere with their effectiveness.

Navigating the holidays:

  • Stick to a Routine: To maintain your regular eating schedule, even on festive days, to keep your blood sugar stable.

  • Hydrate: Drink plenty of water, as GLP-1 medications can sometimes cause nausea, & dehydration can worsen symptoms.

  • Protein First: Prioritize high-protein foods at holiday meals to keep you full & support muscle health.

  • Portion Control: Enjoy your favorite holiday treats in moderation, but be mindful of portion sizes to avoid overeating.
