Using Mounjaro?⁣
5 common mistakes that I have found as a registered dietitian working with clients using GLP1s.⁣
⁣
Fibre! Increase your intake with veg and fruit , nuts and seeds, and wholegrains- aim for 30g per day⁣
⁣
Protein! Don’t skip meals. Use your meals as opportunities to nourish yourself. Spread out your protein throughout the day.⁣
⁣
Muscle mass! If you lose it and don’t work on maintaining it, weight gain will be easier in the long term; you will be weaker; you will be more prone to injury.⁣ Get that strength training started!
⁣
Do the work! See the medication as a tool to support your healthier habits, your hard work that you are doing on your mindset; and your long term health. ⁣

Hydrate! Make sure you are drinking plenty of sugar free fluids throughout the day. For your gut health, your skin health, and your overall wellbeing.

💛 I will never say these things to midlife women who come to me for support:⁣
⁣
1. Cravings are all about willpower…nope. They are about so much more- have you eaten enough? How is your sleep? What are your circumstances? Is it a habit? And so on… (for tips on managing your cravings - click on the link in my bio for some super useful info)⁣
⁣
2. Avoid all carbohydrates. Hard no. For so many reasons. Energy, fibre, brain function etc. ⁣
⁣
3. Ignore your cravings. Uh uh. Listen to them, acknowledge and work with them. They could be a symptom of stress/ not eating enough/ boredom/ irregular meals.⁣
⁣
4. You have to measure your food to be healthy. Absolutely not! Measuring foods can destroy your relationship with food. Your relationship with food will be way healthier without measuring it!⁣
⁣
5. Losing weight is as simple as eating less and moving more. No no. It really isn’t. There is so much more to consider. ⁣

This November we are saying no to:⁣
🙅🏻‍♀️ Over restriction of food⁣
🙅🏻‍♀️ Excluding food groups⁣
🙅🏻‍♀️ Giving food moral value ⁣
🙅🏻‍♀️ Working out to earn food⁣
🙅🏻‍♀️ Forgetting about fibre⁣
⁣
Saying yes to the above can lead to a crave ➡️ binge ➡️ guilt ➡️ restrict cycle…⁣

Breakfast…do you struggle with ideas?⁣
⁣
We know the old adage “breakfast is the most important meal of the day”…you may yawn…⁣
⁣
But, IT REALLY IS SO IMPORTANT!!!⁣
⁣
Below are some reasons why:⁣
- To help you meet your fibre requirements⁣
- To fuel whatever exercise you may be doing⁣
- To help control your blood sugar levels better ⁣
- To help you meet your protein requirements⁣
- To help reduce the risk of grazing later in the day⁣
- To reduce the risk of evening snacking ⁣
⁣
It doesn’t have to be over complicated, but including plenty of fibre and protein is what I would recommend to help keep you as satisfied as possible until your next meal/ snack. ⁣

💗Thursday reminder for y’all! ⁣
⁣
🙌🏻 This is something that I feel super strongly about. ⁣
⁣
🚨 And is so important when our default is to restrict as soon as there is a hint of weight gain. Stop with the restriction mindset...restrictions that are not sustainable, not realistic, and not looking after yourself. ⁣
⁣
🤓 Read and remember!⁣
And be kind to yourself. ⁣

🥝𝐊𝐢𝐰𝐢𝐬! 𝗪𝐡𝐲 𝐬𝐨 𝐠𝐨𝐨𝐝?🥝⁣
⁣
Spoiler alert- p**p talk below…⁣
⁣
Whenever a client tells me they are constipated…one of the top suggestions is introducing kiwifruit!⁣
But why??⁣
⁣
🥝 They are little ovals of goodness:⁣
- Fibre⁣
- Enzymes⁣
- Antioxidants⁣
⁣
🥝 They are high in fibre so they help to add bulk to stools and relieve constipation. ⁣
By eating 2 kiwis per day, they have been shown to improve bowel movement frequency and soften the stools.⁣
This fibre also feeds the “good” gut bacteria- improving the diversity of the microbiome⁣
⁣
🥝 They contain an enzyme called actinidin which can help with digestion⁣
⁣
🥝 They contain antioxidants - specifically Vitamin C, which can help to support your immune system. ⁣
⁣
🥝 Try aim for 1-2 per day. Ideally, eat them whole for more fibre…I say this but I will be honest and say- I just can’t bring myself to do it! 😲…⁣
Although I have added them whole to a smoothie before which was ace. ⁣
