Can you still enjoy Thanksgiving dinner on a GLP-1? 🤔 Absolutely, and CEO Andrea Holwegner RD shared how with The Globe and Mail . 🍂

A few of Andrea's tips:
🍓Stick to your usual eating schedule. Skipping meals to "save room" usually backfires, and on a GLP-1 it can make side effects worse.

🍓Ask yourself what you're most excited to eat. Then enjoy it with no guilt or shame.
Start with small portions, especially of richer dishes, and go back for more if you want it.

🍓You don't owe anyone an explanation about your plate or your medication. Something simple like "I'm starting with this and might have more later, everything looks delicious!" is plenty. 🍂
