5 alternatives to snail caviar when you're on GLP-1s

By Joe Young | Medically reviewed by Hassan Thwaini

You don’t have to indulge in snail caviar or fried quail’s egg like Jeremy Clarkson to succeed in your weight loss journey.

Let's break down some simple tips to help you succeed with insights from Zoe, Numan’s VP of Behavioural Medicine.

Eat small, nutrient-dense meals regularly

"The trick to packing in essential nutrients and fueling your body is small and frequent meals. Shifting to a pattern of around 5 small meals a day may work for you."

Focus on protein intake

"Protein helps people to fill up during a meal, feel fuller for longer after a meal, and, together with doing resistance-type activity, helps the body to maintain lean body mass during weight loss."

Stay hydrated and monitor fibre intake

"Stay hydrated by drinking enough fluids, ensuring you are getting sufficient fibre to help avoid constipation. We also recommend a complete A-Z vitamin and mineral supplement during weight loss."

Include foods you enjoy

“Don’t forget to include some of those foods you love. It's an important part of your journey, as food is one of life's pleasures. All foods have a place in your new healthier routine. No food should ever be forbidden.”

How a gut-healthy diet affects your heart

Heart disease remains the leading cause of death worldwide, with millions of people affected by conditions like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and obesity. While traditional risk factors such as genetics, exercise, and diet have long been recognised, emerging research suggests that the gut microbiome - the trillions of bacteria living in our digestive system - plays yet another important role in the body to help support heart health.1 The latest evidence shows that following a gut-friendly diet can lower the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) by influencing cholesterol levels, reducing inflammation, and improving metabolic health.1
