Founder of Diet Redefined
Nutrition care alongside your prescribed treatment. We do not prescribe medication or change doses.
Less appetite doesn’t automatically mean less confusion about food.
You’re still juggling meetings, family dinners, travel and the daily question of what to eat. Only now, the meals you used to rely on may not feel quite right.
Maybe lunch gets pushed back because you don’t feel hungry. Maybe you’re full halfway through dinner, wondering whether you’ve eaten enough. Or you’ve been told to eat more protein without much help turning that into an actual meal.
You don’t need another set of food rules. You need a plan you can use on a normal, busy Tuesday.
Our GLP-1 nutrition support is for adults who want that plan, plus someone to help them adapt it. You can work on your nutrition while using medication. This is not an either-or decision.
Personalized support, not more guesswork
How a GLP-1 dietitian can help
We start with what is happening for you, rather than assuming everyone taking medication needs the same advice.
Make sense of your nutrition needs
Bring the questions you’ve been saving: what counts as a balanced meal, how to approach protein, and what to do when your usual food routine no longer works. We help you choose clear priorities.
Build meals around your actual life
Plan for the office lunch, the family dinner and the evening when cooking is not happening. Your preferences, budget, culture and kitchen confidence all belong in the conversation.
Talk through eating challenges
Tell us what feels difficult, what you’re tolerating and what you’ve tried. We help with nutrition strategies and identify concerns to take back to your prescribing clinician.
Get support when things change
A plan is a starting point, not a test to pass. Follow-up gives us space to troubleshoot, adjust your routines and work through the all-or-nothing thinking that makes an imperfect week feel like starting over.
Start with nourishment
What to eat on Ozempic and other GLP-1 medications
There is no single GLP-1 diet plan that suits everyone. A useful starting point is a varied eating pattern with protein foods, vegetables or fruit, carbohydrate foods and fluids, adjusted to your needs and tolerance.[1]
What this might look like: keeping an easy breakfast ready, making lunch possible between calls, or adapting a family meal instead of cooking a separate meal just for you.
Include protein across the day
Eggs, Greek yogurt, fish, chicken, tofu, beans and lentils are options to discuss. Your dietitian can help translate an individual protein goal into meals you actually enjoy, rather than leaving you to chase a number.
Keep variety in the picture
Carbohydrates are not automatically off the menu. Nor do you need to build every meal around a huge salad. We look at your overall nutrition and find room for familiar foods in a way that makes sense for you.
Adjust when a full meal feels like too much
Smaller, more frequent meals may be easier to tolerate. The goal is to meet your needs over the day, not to eat as little as possible. Tell your healthcare team if eating remains difficult.[3]
Make fluids and fibre manageable
We review your fluid and fibre intake alongside what you can comfortably eat. Your plan should also account for any fluid restrictions or other dietary advice from your healthcare team.
Structure you can adapt
Your GLP-1 meal plan should fit your life.
A meal plan can take some decisions off your plate. It shouldn’t leave you wondering what happens when you run out of an ingredient, get invited out, or just don’t feel like eating what’s on the menu.
We build in alternatives from the start. That means meals you like, practical swaps and options for different kinds of days.
We also plan for the less predictable parts of the week: takeout, restaurant meals, travel and the groceries you realistically have time to buy. Learn more about how we personalize meal plans.
A quick breakfast
Greek yogurt with oats and fruit, or eggs with toast. We work out an option and portion that suit you, plus a backup for mornings when breakfast is a rush.
A lunch you can repeat
Chicken or tofu with rice and cooked vegetables. Change the seasoning, use leftovers, or choose an equivalent from a nearby café instead of reinventing lunch every day.
Dinner with the family
Pasta with lentil or lean-meat sauce, or fish with potatoes and vegetables. Adapt the meal to your needs without assuming everyone at the table needs a different menu.
These are illustrative meal ideas, not a complete daily menu or a prescription. Portions, ingredients and eating frequency need to account for your appetite, allergies, medical needs and tolerances.
When nausea, fullness or constipation make eating difficult
Nausea, fullness and constipation can occur during treatment. Tell your prescriber about symptoms rather than assuming food changes alone will resolve them.[3]
Eating slowly and choosing simpler foods, such as toast or rice, may help with nausea. Large or greasy meals can be harder to tolerate.[3]
In our sessions, we can look at your meal timing, food choices and what you’re managing to eat. That is more useful than handing you a long list of foods to ban.
When to get medical help: seek urgent medical advice for severe or persistent abdominal pain, repeated vomiting, or difficulty keeping fluids down. Do not wait for a nutrition appointment. Follow your medication’s safety instructions.[3]
Support your strength, not just a number on the scale.
Nutrition and suitable physical activity both deserve attention during weight loss. Resistance exercise may help maintain muscle, so nutrition planning should sit alongside an activity plan that is appropriate for you.[1]
We help make the food side practical and encourage you to discuss suitable activity with your healthcare or qualified exercise professional. Your nutrition recommendations should reflect your health history, activity and goals, rather than a generic target borrowed from someone else.
At follow-up, there is room to talk about more than weight: how eating is going, how you feel, which routines are helping, and where you need a different approach.
From questions to a workable plan
What working together looks like
This is ongoing dietitian support, not a one-time meal-plan download. We get to know you, build a starting plan and keep working on it together.
Start with a conversation
Your complimentary consultation is a chance to share your goals, explain what’s difficult and ask about the program. We discuss fit, fees and next steps before you decide.
Look at the whole picture
We review your eating patterns, relevant health history, medications, preferences and daily routine. The aim is to understand what you need and what is getting in the way.
Make your next steps clear
Work on nutrition priorities, practical meal ideas and a routine you can begin using. You do not have to change every habit in the first week.
Keep support in the picture
Use follow-up appointments, progress reviews and food-diary feedback to work through challenges. We adjust the nutrition plan as your needs and circumstances change.
Our Shift, Structure, Systems and Sustain framework connects practical food decisions with longer-term habits. Explore the broader Registered Dietitian weight loss program, or read about what happens in online nutrition counselling.
Bring your questions. We’ll talk through the support that makes sense for you.
The people behind your support
Practical advice. Room for real life.
Helen founded Diet Redefined to help busy professionals approach food with more confidence and less restriction.
That means leaving room for the birthday dinner, the familiar comfort food and the week when your schedule changes at the last minute. The work is learning how to adapt, not making every meal perfect.
During your consultation, we’ll discuss which dietitian is the best fit for your needs and our team’s availability. Meet Helen and the Diet Redefined team.

A few things you may be wondering
GLP-1 nutrition questions
Can a dietitian help if I’m already losing weight?
Yes. Nutrition support is not only about weight. We can review how you’re eating, talk through your questions and help you build a routine that feels manageable. You don’t need to wait until you feel stuck to ask for support.
Do you support people taking Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro and Zepbound?
Yes, our nutrition support can be tailored around these prescribed treatments. This page also covers nutrition support for people using dual GIP/GLP-1 treatments such as tirzepatide. The medications and their instructions are not interchangeable. Your prescriber handles medication selection, doses and monitoring; we focus on food and nutrition.[2]
How much protein should I eat on a GLP-1?
There isn’t one number that is right for everyone. We assess an appropriate target for you and show you how it can look in meals and snacks. Be sure to share relevant medical advice or dietary restrictions, including any related to kidney health.
Are there foods I have to avoid on Ozempic or Wegovy?
Follow the advice for your medication and health conditions. Food choices depend on your individual tolerance, not a universal list of banned foods. Simpler, less greasy meals may be easier during nausea. Contact your clinician if symptoms persist.[3]
Can you help if I’m not losing weight on Ozempic?
We can review the nutrition side and help you prepare questions for your prescriber. A change on the scale does not tell us, by itself, why treatment is or isn’t meeting your expectations. Do not assume you need to eat less or change your dose without an assessment.
Can I get support before starting medication or if my treatment changes?
Yes. You can start working on meals and routines while discussing treatment with your prescriber. We can also adjust nutrition support if your prescribed treatment changes. Our program does not require you to stop medication, and we do not promise that nutrition care will prevent weight regain. Decisions about ongoing treatment belong with your prescribing clinician.[2]
What if I also have diabetes or another nutrition-related concern?
Tell us during your consultation so we can discuss the right support. Your meal plan should account for your health needs, not just your medication or weight goals. Our article on nutrition and blood sugar management explains the broader topic. Individual recommendations still need to reflect your treatment plan.
What does it cost, and can I use extended health benefits?
The introductory consultation is complimentary. We explain program options and fees before you commit. Some extended health plans include Registered Dietitian services; check your coverage and any referral requirements with your insurer. Diet Redefined provides receipts for eligible reimbursement. Medication coverage does not confirm coverage for dietitian services.
A clearer next step
Let’s make food feel more manageable.
You don’t need to have your routine figured out before reaching out. Start with what is happening now, the questions you have, and what you’d like to feel more confident about.
