Nutrition support during Mounjaro or GLP-1 care.
If your appetite, digestion or energy has changed while using a prescribed GLP-1 medication under medical supervision, it can be hard to know what to eat. This guide keeps things simple: protein, fibre, fluids, food tolerance and nutrient gaps.
Wellbeing George Nutrition provides nutrition, lifestyle and functional testing support only.

If eating has become harder, you do not need a complicated plan.
Many people do best with a calmer, simpler approach. Start by understanding what has changed, then build meals around the nutrients that matter most.
Some people feel full quickly. Some feel nauseous. Some become constipated. Others feel flat, notice hair shedding, or realise they are eating far less protein than before.
The answer is not always to add more rules. Often, the first step is to make smaller meals more nourishing and easier to tolerate.
If symptoms are severe, persistent or worrying, speak with your medical team. If the question is “how do I stay nourished while my appetite is lower?”, that is where nutrition support can help.
Common food and digestion changes to watch.
These are general nutrition considerations only. Use them as a guide for what to notice, not as a replacement for medical advice.
Some symptoms should not be managed with food changes alone.
Nutrition can help with meal structure, tolerance and nutrient coverage. It cannot assess medication safety, diagnose side effects or replace your medical team.
Smaller meals can still be nourishing.
If your intake has dropped, your meals may need to become more intentional — not more complicated.
Choose the simplest next step.
You do not need to know exactly what you need before reaching out. Start with the option that feels most relevant.
Questions people often ask when appetite or digestion changes.
These answers are nutrition-focused. Medication questions, dose changes, prescribing, access, pricing and side effect management should be discussed with your doctor, specialist or pharmacist.
What helps nausea from a nutrition perspective?
Some people find smaller meals, slower eating, lighter meal choices and simple protein foods easier to tolerate. Persistent nausea, vomiting or signs of dehydration need medical review.
Can eating less contribute to constipation?
Yes. When food volume, fluid intake, fibre intake and movement all reduce, bowel habits can change. Severe, painful or ongoing constipation should be reviewed by a clinician.
What can I eat for constipation when my appetite is low?
Start with fluids, gentle fibre and regular movement. Cooked vegetables, oats, chia, psyllium, berries, legumes and soups may help if tolerated. Increase fibre gradually rather than suddenly.
What foods are easier to tolerate when I feel full quickly?
Many people do better with smaller, protein-focused meals such as Greek yoghurt, eggs, soups, smoothies, fish, tofu, cottage cheese, legumes or lean meats. The best option depends on your symptoms and tolerance.
What foods should I avoid if nausea, reflux or bloating is worse?
There is no one-size-fits-all banned-food list. Large meals, fried foods, alcohol, carbonated drinks, spicy foods, rich desserts or eating too quickly can be harder for some people. The aim is to notice your triggers and replace them with more tolerable, nutrient-dense options.
Why might I feel tired when my appetite is lower?
Fatigue can be linked with low total intake, low protein, dehydration, reduced carbohydrates, poor sleep or nutrient gaps. If fatigue or weakness is ongoing, speak with your medical team and consider whether nutrition testing may be useful.
Can low intake contribute to hair shedding?
Hair shedding can be influenced by rapid weight change, low protein, low iron, zinc, B vitamins, vitamin D or overall under-eating. If hair loss is sudden, significant or concerning, speak with your healthcare provider.

Should I choose a strategy chat or testing first?
