How to Eat Enough on GLP-1 — Even When You’re Not Hungry

November 10, 20251 min read

GLP-1 medications are powerful appetite suppressants, but eating too little can slow your metabolism, increase fatigue, and make it harder to sustain your progress. The goal isn’t to eat less — it’s to eat smart.

Fueling a Smaller Appetite

Focus on nutrient-dense foods that pack more protein, fiber, and hydration into smaller portions. Smoothies, protein shakes, and Greek yogurt bowls are perfect for days when you can’t finish a full plate.

Small Meals, Big Impact

  • Eat 4–5 mini meals instead of 2 large ones.

  • Always include protein + healthy fat + fiber.

  • Try collagen or protein powder in coffee or oatmeal.

  • Sip bone broth or electrolyte water to support hydration.

Listen to your body but don’t skip nourishment. Think of food as fuel for your energy, hormones, and long-term muscle preservation.
