When you’re on a GLP-1 medication, appetite drops fast. Some people are down to one small meal a day. That changes everything about how you think about food.

Every bite has to carry weight now. You can’t afford empty calories – not when you’re only going to eat a handful of them.

That’s where the Mediterranean pattern starts making a lot of sense. Small portions of fish, legumes, olive oil, vegetables. Food that’s dense with what your body actually needs. Anti-inflammatory. Satisfying in a way that holds.

It wasn’t designed for GLP-1 users. But it fits like it was.

If you’re on one of these medications and wondering what to eat with the little appetite you have left, the Mediterranean table is worth a serious look.

William questions everything, including his own opinions.

Curiosity and humility over authority and certainty.

The reader is always the final decision-maker.
