And based on feedback from women, we have now created a meal plan designed for women who are using weight loss medication, such as Ozempic, to ensure this group of women are getting optimal nutrition.
Why women on weight loss medication need healthy eating meal plans
Weight loss medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, Saxenda, and surgical aids such as gastric bands have become popular solutions for those struggling with weight management.
These tools can help control appetite, making it easier for women to eat less and lose weight. However, while these medications can be effective, they also come with potential risks if nutrition isn’t properly managed.
The Hidden Dangers of Appetite Suppression
Medications like Ozempic work by suppressing appetite, which can lead to a significant reduction in calorie intake. This can be helpful for weight loss but can also pose some serious risks if not monitored correctly:
-
Inadequate Nutrient Intake: When your appetite is reduced, it’s easy to skip meals or not eat enough. This may lead to nutrient deficiencies that can impact your overall health and wellbeing.
-
Loss of Muscle Mass: If you’re not consuming enough protein, your body may start breaking down muscle for energy. This can lead to muscle weakness, reduced metabolism, and poorer physical function.
-
Poor Skin, Hair, and Nail Health: Protein and essential nutrients are vital for healthy skin, hair, and nails. A lack of these nutrients can result in dull, thinning hair, brittle nails, and dry, lackluster skin.
-
Gut Health Issues: A lack of fibre and nutrient-rich foods can negatively impact your gut health, which in turn can affect digestion, immune function, and even mood.
How Zing Wellbeing’s Meal Plan Supports Women on Weight Loss Medications
At Zing Wellbeing, we understand the unique needs of women who are using weight loss medications or have undergone weight loss surgery. We understand how challenging it can be to get enough nutrition when your appetite is significantly reduced.
That’s why our expert nutritionists have designed a specialised meal plan that focuses on providing essential nutrients while keeping the calorie count low, between 800-1000 calories per day.
Here’s how our meal plan can help:
1. High Protein, Low Calorie Meals
Protein is the building block of muscle and essential for maintaining lean body mass, especially when you’re losing weight. Our meal plan ensures you get enough protein without adding excessive calories. This helps to preserve muscle, boost metabolism, and support the health of your hair, skin, and nails.

2. Balanced Nutrition for Overall Health
We’ve carefully curated each meal to include a balance of vitamins, minerals, healthy fats, and fibre. This helps prevent nutrient deficiencies and supports gut health, which is crucial for maintaining a healthy immune system and digestive function.
3. Gut Health Support
Our plan includes gut-friendly foods like fermented vegetables, high-fibre meals, and ingredients rich in prebiotics and probiotics. This is important as reduced food intake can affect gut microbiota, which plays a key role in overall health and mood regulation.
4. Easy, Delicious Recipes
We know that following a meal plan can be challenging, especially if you have a reduced appetite or feel full quickly. That’s why our recipes are designed to be simple, tasty, and satisfying, making it easier for you to stick to the plan and enjoy eating without feeling overwhelmed.
5. Customisable for Your Needs
At Zing Wellbeing, we’ve also launched a Meal Plan Customiser that allows you to tailor the plan to your preferences. You can swap out meals, adjust ingredients, and create a personalized plan that works for you, ensuring you get the nutrients you need without overloading on calories.
Why Nutrient Density Matters More Than Ever
When your appetite is reduced, every bite counts. It’s no longer just about eating less; it’s about eating smart.
If you only consume low-nutrient foods, you may miss out on crucial vitamins and minerals, leading to fatigue, weakened immunity, and other health issues. Zing Wellbeing’s plan focuses on nutrient-dense foods that provide maximum nutrition in every bite, helping you meet your body’s needs even with fewer calories.
What’s Included in the Zing Wellbeing Meal Plan?
- 800-1000 calorie daily plan with a focus on high-protein, nutrient-dense meals.
- Easy-to-prepare recipes designed to be tasty and satisfying even if you have a small appetite.
- Detailed shopping lists to make meal prep simple and stress-free.
