Webinar On-Demand: Mastering Mindful Eating with GLP-1s

In a recent insightful conversation with Whitney English, the esteemed registered dietitian nutritionist and co-founder of Plant-Based Juniors we dived into the connection between mindful eating and GLP-1s.

English navigated through the science of GLP-1 and its influence on weight loss. She highlighted how GLP-1 mimics can regulate our appetite and help curb cravings for calorie-rich, fatty foods. However, the key takeaway was to incorporate a holistic approach to achieve sustainable health improvements. It was emphasized that along with medication, appropriate nutrition, regular physical activity, and mindfulness have a critical role.

To guide our members towards this holistic approach, English provided practical tips for incorporating mindful eating into everyday lives.

5 Practical tips for mindful eating:

1. Slow down and take time while eating
2. Understand and respond to your hunger cues sincerely
3. Cultivate awareness of your fullness to prevent overeating
4. Create an environment that encourages mindful eating
5. Commit to practicing mindfulness at mealtimes on a regular basis

We also explored how seasonality affects mindful eating. English reminded us that using in-season produce could enhance the joy of eating, inspire cooking, and help control overeating.

For weight loss programs, the use of GLP-1 therapies was discussed. English emphasized such integrative wellness programs offer comprehensive support, promoting overall health, enhancing productivity, and leading to cost savings.

Key takeaways from the conversation:

• GLP-1 and mindful eating can work collaboratively to help with weight loss.
• It is essential to approach weight management in a holistic way that includes medication, good nutrition, active lifestyle, and mindfulness.
• Simple changes in our eating behavior can have a significant impact on our overall wellness.
• Make mindful eating a daily practice to reap long-term health benefits.
• The choice of in-season produce can promote mindful eating and overall enjoyment of our food.

The conversation ended with a Q&A session, providing additional guidance on mindful meal preparation and importance of mindful eating in overall health management. The take-home message is clear: by incorporating mindful eating principles in our lives, we can turn every meal into a wellness-boosting experience.
