Tracking Calories

tablets is cheating. They are being sensible. They don’t want to have a stroke. You are not cheating.

Healthy eating alongside Ozempic

So hopefully I have got my butt in gear and sent you the info sheet which calculates your potential weight loss over time. The lowest calories that can be consumed and still maintain nutrition are about 900 per day, if your starting weight is more than 100 Kg, then the minimum I would suggest is 1000 calories. This is difficult to maintain. Calories are everywhere. The eating plan will give you a bare bones approach with a way of “stacking” some meals up to add more calories. There are two key principles to start with: 1. Water first. Before any meal drink a glass of water. Ozempic will reduce your thirst.

Thirst makes you eat more. Make it a ritual to drink water. Aim for at least 2000mls

of water in total a day. Drink 250mls before your meal and 250mls during. The rest can be sipped during the day. 2. Prioritise Vegetables. The main bulk of your diet should be vegetables. The key part of any meal is vegetables. So, if you don’t like many vegetables broaden your horizons and find some to make friends with. (I’m a veg dodger, I learnt to get them in).

Tracking Calories

Yes, its boring. Yes, you think you know what you are eating. Yes, you understand broadly what foods are healthy. But yes, it is vital! You have to track calories, or you will not maximise your potential for weight loss.
