100 grams of protein can feel like a lot. Spreading it throughout the day can make it easier. See the full breakdown and sample meal plans on our blog. Link in bio.

If you are the person in your home that does the meal planning and preparation, this tidbit is crucial.

When cooking raw meat you can account for about 25% shrinkage. This means if you are cooking 1 lb (16oz) of chicken or ground turkey, you will end up with 12oz at the end. Here's the protein math:

𝟏 𝐥𝐛 (𝟏𝟔 𝐨𝐳) 𝐫𝐚𝐰 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐭 = 𝟏𝟐 𝐨𝐳 𝐜𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐞𝐝 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐭
𝟏 𝐥𝐛 (𝟏𝟔 𝐨𝐳) 𝐫𝐚𝐰 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐭 = 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝟒 𝐨𝐳 𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬

𝟐 𝐥𝐛 (𝟑𝟐 𝐨𝐳) 𝐫𝐚𝐰 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐭 = 𝟐𝟒 𝐨𝐳 𝐜𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐞𝐝 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐭
𝟐 𝐥𝐛 (𝟑𝟐 𝐨𝐳) 𝐫𝐚𝐰 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐭 = 𝐬𝐢𝐱 𝟒 𝐨𝐳 𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬

This is helpful if you are meal planning for yourself and/or your family.

You're welcome!

GLP-1s can reduce hunger so much that you may stop eating enough without realizing it.

Weight loss may be the goal, 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘣𝘰𝘥𝘺 𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥𝘴 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘵𝘦𝘪𝘯, 𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘨𝘺, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘦𝘯𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩 𝘯𝘶𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘺 𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘨.

If you started a GLP-1 and you're proud of barely eating anymore, I need you to hear this.

These meds are so good at killing appetite that it's easy to slide under 800 calories a day without feeling restricted.

Remember that even without an appetite, your body runs on nutrients - macronutrients, micronutrients, and phytonutrients. And you need all of them, all of the time.

𝐓𝐡𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐜𝐤 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟 𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐭:
→ Are you eating protein first at every meal?
→ Are you eating on a schedule, even when you're not hungry?
→ Are your calories dense enough to provide real nutrients?

If you're not sure where you land on any of that — that's literally what we do. Link in bio to book with our RD team.

You came into my life as a surprise and we were instantly besties.
You've been with me through 23,747 smoothies, dozens of soups, nut butters, sauces, adult beverages, dips, and so much more. You've loved and been loved for many years and for that I am grateful. You will be dearly missed...

Most people don't realize how much of their identity is tied to food.

"𝘐'𝘮 𝘢 𝘴𝘯𝘢𝘤𝘬𝘦𝘳." "𝘐 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘢 𝘴𝘸𝘦𝘦𝘵 𝘵𝘰𝘰𝘵𝘩." "𝘐'𝘮 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘰𝘬 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘢𝘮𝘪𝘭𝘺."

Starting a GLP-1 can change all of these.

These medications work by slowing digestion and blunting appetite and hunger signals. But food isn't just what fuels and nourishes us. It's reward. It's routine. It's how some people create connection.

I've watched this play out three different ways:

𝐎𝐧𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐡𝐚𝐝 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐭 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐧𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐚𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐫 — her one reward at the end of a hard day. The craving disappeared on a GLP-1, and she described it as losing a small piece of joy in her day.

𝐀𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐧𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐝𝐚𝐲 — it was how she broke up her workday and created routine. When early fullness set in, she lost that built-in structure and felt a little lost by mid afternoon.

𝐀 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐫𝐝 𝐰𝐚𝐬 "𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐨𝐤" 𝐨𝐟 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐲 — Sunday dinners, holidays, all her. Three months in, she dread being in a kitchen she used to love.

𝐓𝐡𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐝𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞. 𝐓𝐡𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐝𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐬 — 𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞, 𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐞, 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧.

This is a normal reaction, but one that no one talks about. It doesn't mean something's broken, it's just different.

If a GLP-1 has changed how you relate to food, your relationship can be rebuilt. It just might look different for a while — and that's a lot easier to navigate when you know it's coming.

My new fave weekend breakfast - Oatmeal Pro Pancakes

Blend 1/2 cup rolled oats (gluten free if you need) in the blender to make oat flour

Add 2 whole eggs
1 cup cottage cheese
Splash vanilla extract
Pinch salt

Blend it all together on low-medium speed to make a batter. It will be thick.
Cook in a pan on low the same way you'd make pancakes.

This makes 2 large pancakes. The texture is a little denser because there is no leavening powder, but they are delicious!

I came across this recipe somewhere, I did not create it. But I've been enjoying it and I hope you do too!

Nobody tells you this before you start.

GLP-1s aren't just appetite suppressants. They quiet the food noise, the mental loop that makes every meal a challenge, to allow you to choose foods that nourish your body.

But that also means:
→ You'll likely eat smaller amounts more often (4-5x/day), not less often
→ Protein, fiber, and hydration stop being "nice to have" and become the whole game
→ Skipping those isn't a minor tradeoff, it's how people lose muscle instead of fat

If you're starting a GLP-1 without a plan for this, you're not set up to succeed on it.

That's the gap we fill. LINK IN BIO.
