Three Tips for Weight Management

Creating small habits can add up to big changes especially when combined with certain GLP-1 medications like Ozempic® or WeGovy®. ShopRite dietitian Shelbi, RD has three tips to ensure you’re getting everything you need to feel your best on your health journey.


1. Look for easy ways to increase your protein; Instead of using milk in your cereal or oatmeal, swap in vanilla protein shakes. Make hot chocolate with a chocolate protein powder and use unflavored collagen, or high protein bone broth in soups and stews.

 

2. Fiber swaps: There are a lot of breads, wraps and crackers that contain 6-9g of fiber per serving. By finding one you like and including it in one of your daily meals or snacks, you can get a quarter of your daily fiber intake with just one new product!

 

3. Nutrient density: If you are on a medication like a GLP-1 that affects your appetite, it’s more important than ever to focus on nutrient-rich foods to get vitamins and antioxidants that you need. Try having half portions of starches like potatoes, rice and grains and make the other half a vegetable side alternative like mashed cauliflower or veggie “rice” to increase the benefits.



Take 1 habit at a time & before you know it you will have mastered them all & be on your way to feeling your best yet! For more tips, recipes and product inspiration visit Wellness Your Way
