GLP‑1 Support Smoothie

Ingredients (1 serving):
200 ml unsweetened almond milk (or preferred milk) – hydration + low sugar
½ cup Greek yogurt (protein & probiotics)
½ cup frozen mixed berries (fibre & antioxidants)
1 scoop protein powder (whey or plant-based) – helps maintain muscle
1 tsp chia seeds or ground flaxseeds (fibre & healthy fats)
Optional: ½ tsp cinnamon (supports blood sugar control)
Instructions:
Add all ingredients into a blender.
Blend until smooth.
Sip slowly, especially if appetite is low or stomach feels sensitive.

Why it works for GLP‑1 users:
Protein-packed: Supports muscle and metabolism.
High-fibre: Helps with digestion and satiety.
Hydrating & gentle: Easy on the stomach, helpful for nausea or fullness.
Micronutrient-rich: Berries, yogurt, and seeds contribute vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.

GLP-1 medications are a powerful tool for weight loss — but they’re not the whole picture. 🧩

When your appetite drops significantly, it’s easy to eat less without eating right. And that’s where things can go wrong.
Here’s what GLP-1s can’t do on their own:
❌ They can’t tell your body to hold onto muscle
❌ They can’t ensure you’re hitting your protein, fibre, vitamins & minerals
❌ They can’t guide the quality of the little you’re eating

Without the right nutritional support, reduced appetite can quietly lead to muscle loss, micronutrient deficiencies, and a diet that’s low in calories but high in gaps.
The medication does its job. A dietitian makes sure your body keeps up. 💚

Ever wondered what GLP-1 medication is actually doing inside your body? 👀

It’s not just about feeling less hungry. These medications work across multiple systems
— from your brain to your fat tissue
— to support better blood sugar control,
- improved metabolism,
-and lasting fullness.
Swipe to see the full picture. ➡️

But here’s the thing: medication is a tool, not a magic fix. 🔑 Nutrition and lifestyle coaching are still the foundation of real, lasting change.
That’s exactly what we help our patients with at InteliHEALTH Dietitians — personalised, evidence-based support every step of the way.

🍛 EATING OUT SERIES: INDIAN RESTAURANT EDITION

Indian food is full of flavour… but also hidden oils, butter and creamy sauces that can quickly add up

Here’s how to order smart:

🥗 Smarter Choices

✅ Tandoori chicken or chicken tikka (grilled, not creamy)
✅ Lean meats cooked in tomato-based sauces
✅ Naan without butter or cheese
✅ Extra veg sides where possible

🛑 Watch Out For

• Pappadams (often fried)
• Creamy curries
• Rogan josh
• Paratha (buttery, layered bread)
• Coconut milk-based dishes (high in fat)

💡 Top Tips

✨ Drain excess sauce from curries before eating
✨ Ask for less oil/butter when possible
✨ Choose grilled over creamy dishes
✨ Stick to one carb (naan OR rice)
✨ Portion control is key

✨ Remember:
Indian food isn’t the problem, it’s the sauces, oils and extras that make the difference.

🌮 EATING OUT SERIES: MEXICAN RESTAURANT EDITION
Aka: it started with guac… and now we’re in too deep.

Mexican food can be fresh, balanced and full of flavour, but it’s also very easy to overdo the fats, carbs and portions without even realising.

Here’s how to keep it smart 🌮✨

🥗 Smarter Mexican Choices

✅ Grilled chicken, beef or fish (fajitas are a great option)
✅ Chicken or fish tacos (grilled, not fried)
✅ Burrito bowl instead of a wrapped burrito
✅ Ceviche (fresh, high protein, light)
✅ Bean-based dishes (fibre + protein)
✅ Salsa (tomato-based) instead of creamy sauces

Better Build Options

✅ Load up on veg: lettuce, tomato, peppers, corn
✅ Choose one carb: tortilla OR rice
✅ Ask for sauces & dressings on the side
✅ Go easy on cheese, sour cream & guacamole

🛑 Mexican Menu Traps

• Guacamole (healthy fat… but very easy to overdo)
• Corn chips & nachos
• Burritos (large + loaded)
• Fried tacos / chimichangas
• Cheese-heavy dishes (quesadillas)
• Creamy or coconut-based sauces

Mexican Eating Tips

🌮 Start with a protein-based main, not chips
🌮 Limit guac to 2 tablespoons
🌮 Share starters (or skip them!)
🌮 Watch portions — Mexican meals are often oversized
🌮 Build your plate: protein + veg + one carb

✨ Remember:
Mexican food isn’t the problem, it’s the extras, portions and layering of fats that add up quickly.

27/03/2026

🥢 EATING OUT SERIES: ASIAN RESTAURANTS EDITION
Aka: soy sauce is not the problem… it’s what it’s hiding 👀

Asian cuisine can be incredibly balanced — think lean proteins, vegetables, rice and broth-based dishes.
But… oils, frying and creamy sauces can change the game quickly.

Here’s how to order smart 🥢✨

🥗 Smarter Asian Choices

✅ Miso soup or clear soups
✅ Fresh salads or vegetable rice paper rolls
✅ Sushi (6–8 pieces)
• Maki rolls
• California rolls
• Handrolls
• Sashimi / nigiri
Skip the mayo-based options

✅ Use soya sauce, ginger & wasabi (low kcal flavour boost)
✅ Steamed rice or noodles
✅ Grilled / steamed chicken, fish or tofu
✅ Stir-fries with sauce on the side

🍽 Better Meal Combos

✅ Sushi + salad
✅ Stir-fry + steamed rice
✅ Soup + protein + veg

Aim for: protein + veg + one carb

🛑 Asian Menu Traps

• Spring rolls (deep fried)
• Tempura (anything battered & fried)
• Teppanyaki / fried rice / fried noodles
• Coconut milk-based curries
• Sweet sticky sauces (teriyaki, sweet & sour, honey sauces)
• Dishes that look “light”… but are swimming in oil

💡 Asian Eating Tips

🥢 Choose steamed, grilled or broth-based
🥢 Ask for sauce on the side
🥢 Avoid anything described as crispy, battered or fried
🥢 Be mindful of portion sizes (especially sushi & rice)
🥢 Add extra vegetables wherever you can

✨ Remember:
Asian food can be one of the healthiest meals when eating out it’s just the cooking method and sauces that make the difference.

🇬🇷 EATING OUT SERIES: GREEK RESTAURANT EDITION
Aka: when olive oil is both the hero… and the plot twist.

Greek food is rooted in the Mediterranean diet, which is one of the healthiest ways of eating — but restaurant portions (and oils) can quickly tip things over.

Here’s how to keep it balanced 🇬🇷✨

🥗 Smarter Greek Choices

✅ Chicken or beef souvlaki (grilled, high protein). ✅ Grilled calamari or oysters (great starter or main)
✅ Roast chicken with vegetables
✅ Large Greek salad (go easy on feta & olives)
✅ Grilled haloumi (not fried)
✅ Tzatziki as a lighter dip option
✅ Dolmades (vine leaves stuffed with rice)

🍽 Smart Carb & Side Choices

✅ Choose ONE: pita OR rice OR grilled potatoes
✅ ½–1 pita is usually enough
✅ Add extra vegetables or salad instead of doubling up on carbs

🚩 Greek Menu Traps

• Lamb dishes (especially lamb kleftiko)
• Moussaka (rich, creamy, high fat)
• Excess dips: hummus, tahini, taramasalata, feta spreads
• Veg starters soaked in oil
• Pastry-based starters (spanakopita)
• Roast potatoes (often very oil-heavy)

💡 Greek Eating Tips

🇬🇷 Stick to grilled over baked or fried
🇬🇷 Limit dips to about 2 tablespoons total
🇬🇷 Ask for dressings and oils on the side
🇬🇷 Balance your plate: protein + veg + one carb
🇬🇷 Share starters (Greek style!)

🍯 Dessert Reality Check

Greek desserts = delicious… but very rich

🛑 Baklava & syrup-soaked pastries = high sugar + fat combo

✅ Best move: share a portion or skip

✨ Remember:
Greek food is one of the healthiest cuisines,
it’s just the oil, portions and extras that make the difference.

18/03/2026

🥩 EATING OUT SERIES: STEAKHOUSE EDITION
Aka: when everything on the menu comes with fries and a side of butter.

Steakhouses can actually be one of the easiest places to eat well when you know what to order. The key is choosing simply grilled proteins, smart sides and skipping the heavy sauces.

🥗 Smarter Steakhouse Choices

✅ 200g fillet or sirloin (leaner cuts of steak)
✅ Grilled chicken breast
✅ Chicken kebabs
✅ Dry grilled linefish
✅ Grilled prawns or seafood
✅ Carpaccio starter
✅ Beef or chicken salad
✅ Grilled calamari (not fried)

🍽 Better Side Options

Instead of the classic fries + creamy sauce combo, try:

✅ Side salad with olive oil & lemon
✅ Steamed or grilled vegetables
✅ Roasted butternut
✅ Grilled mushrooms
✅ Sweet potato (if available)
✅ Half portion of starch + extra vegetables

🚩 Steakhouse Menu Traps

• Creamy pepper / mushroom sauces
• Cheese sauces
• Loaded baked potatoes
• Onion rings
• Giant fries portions
• “Surf and turf” with heavy sauces

These extras can often double the calories of the meal without adding much satisfaction.

Steakhouse Eating Tips

🥩 Choose lean cuts like fillet or sirloin
🥩 Ask for your steak grilled without butter
🥩 Order sauce on the side
🥩 Swap fries for vegetables or salad
🥩 Watch portion sizes — 200g is usually enough

📌 Remember:
A steakhouse meal can actually be one of the highest protein, most balanced meals when eating out — it just depends on the extras that come with it.

🍝 EATING OUT SERIES: ITALIAN RESTAURANTS EDITION
Aka: pasta, pizza… and portion control.

Italian food has a reputation for being “heavy”, but the truth is traditional Italian eating is actually quite balanced. It’s all about simple ingredients, tomato-based sauces, olive oil and vegetables.

Here’s how to enjoy it without the food coma.

🍅 Smarter Italian Choices

✅ Choose tomato-based sauces (Napolitana / Arrabbiata) instead of cream, cheese or mince-based sauces
✅ Spinach & ricotta cannelloni or panzerotti with tomato sauce can be a good vegetarian option
✅ Share a pizza + order a salad (very Italian behaviour!)
✅ Minestrone soup as a starter
✅ Carpaccio with rocket and lemon
✅ Veal Limone (lemon-based sauce, lighter than creamy dishes)
✅ Melanzane (eggplant) — ask for less cheese

🍅 Italian Menu Traps

🛑 Alfredo or cream-based sauces
🛑 Four-cheese pasta or pizza
🛑 Deep fried starters (arancini, fried calamari)
🛑 Giant pasta portions that could feed a small village

💡 Italian Eating Tips (the locals know this)

🇮🇹 Start with a vegetable-based starter (salad, grilled veg, carpaccio)
🇮🇹 Share pasta or choose a starter portion if available
🇮🇹 Add extra vegetables where possible
🇮🇹 Ask for olive oil and lemon instead of creamy dressings
🇮🇹 Eat slowly and socially, the Italian way

✨ Remember:
You don’t need to skip Italian food.
Just eat it like an Italian, simple, balanced and shared.
