Book Description
Starting a GLP-1 medication was supposed to be the answer. But nobody warned you about the queasy mornings, the food aversions, or the stress of staring at a plate wondering, "What can I actually eat today?" If meals have gone from something you loved to something you avoid, this book was written for you.
Eating Well on GLP-1 is your calm, practical daily companion for nourishing your body while your appetite changes. Instead of generic diet advice that doesn't work when two bites feel like a full meal, you'll get a clear, gentle system: exactly what to eat, how much protein your body needs to stay strong, and how to get it down without triggering nausea.
Inside, you'll find simple protein-first meal templates you can mix and match, soothing food choices for your toughest days, and realistic guidance that fits real life — whether you're cooking for a family, grabbing lunch between meetings, or just trying to keep breakfast down. Every page is designed to replace anxiety with relief and confusion with confidence.
This isn't about restriction. It's about feeling good again — energized, nourished, and in control — while your medication does its job. Imagine waking up knowing exactly what you'll eat, enjoying food without worry, and watching the results you've hoped for finally take shape. That's what this guide delivers.
What You Will Learn
• Choose foods that settle your stomach instead of upsetting it — even on high-nausea days
• Calculate your personal daily protein target and reach it with small, manageable meals
• Build balanced plates in minutes using repeatable meal templates for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks
• Protect lean muscle and energy levels while losing weight on GLP-1 medications
• Navigate restaurants, social events, and travel without stress or setbacks
• Identify which common foods secretly make nausea worse — and what to eat instead
• Create a flexible daily routine that adapts as your appetite and dose change over time
• Turn eating back into something you look forward to, not something you fear
Who This Book Is For
This book is for anyone taking a GLP-1 medication — such as semaglutide, tirzepatide, or similar treatments — who wants to eat well without nausea, confusion, or overwhelm. It's especially valuable for people in their first months of treatment, those struggling with food aversions or low appetite, and anyone worried about losing muscle or energy along with the weight. No nutrition background is needed — just a desire to feel good in your body again.
Emily Hartwell is a registered dietitian with over 15 years of experience helping people eat well through life's biggest changes. She earned her Master of Science in Nutrition from Tufts University, home to one of the most respected nutrition programs in the country.
Emily spent the first decade of her career in clinical practice, guiding patients through digestive conditions, weight management, and recovery eating. When GLP-1 medications began changing how her clients experienced food, she made this new way of eating her focus. She has since coached thousands of patients through their first years on these medications, and her practical, warm approach has made her a trusted voice in the field.
Her work has earned her an Excellence in Nutrition Education Award and recognition as a top dietitian in her state for three consecutive years. She has been featured in regional health publications and speaks regularly at wellness conferences about protein-first eating and gentle nutrition.
Emily lives in Vermont with her husband, their two teenagers, and a golden retriever named Biscuit, who never misses a meal. When she is not writing or seeing clients, she tends a small vegetable garden, hikes the nearby trails, and bakes sourdough bread on Sunday mornings. Her kitchen table, she says, is where all her best ideas begin.
She wrote this book for the person she meets every week: someone holding a new prescription, standing in front of an open fridge, and wondering what on earth to eat now.
