It’s afternoon, are you suddenly hungry, tired, and reaching for something sweet?
That’s not lack of willpower, it’s your GLP-1 hormone calling for help.
If your energy dips, cravings hit hard mid-day, or you never quite feel full after eating, your GLP-1 hormone might need a little support.
GLP-1 (Glucagon-like Peptide 1) is your body’s built-in regulator for appetite, blood sugar, and fullness. When it’s working well, you feel satisfied, steady, and energized. When it’s not, your day can feel like a rollercoaster of hunger, snacks, and sugar crashes.
You can support this hormone through what you eat, with or without additional medication support.
Here are 5 foods that help your GLP-1 do its job:
Eggs – protein to keep you full
Avocado – healthy fats to slow digestion
Blueberries – antioxidants + fiber for gut health
Oats – beta-glucan fiber to enhance GLP-1 release
Leafy greens – magnesium for blood sugar balance
Want to start using food as a tool, not a trigger? Here’s how 
- Prioritize protein at breakfast. Start your day with eggs, Greek yogurt, or a protein smoothie to set your blood sugar rhythm early.
- Pair carbs with fiber + fat. Oats with chia, fruit with nut butter, or veggies with avocado keep digestion steady and hunger hormones calm.
- Stay consistent. Irregular eating and stress throw GLP-1 off. Three balanced meals (plus snacks when needed) signal safety and stability to your body.
- Check in with your hunger cues. If you’re reaching for food when you’re not truly hungry, your body might be asking for something else, rest, connection, or calm.
Small, consistent shifts add up to fewer cravings, steadier energy, and a metabolism that feels like it’s finally working with you.
That’s why I created the GLP-1 Recipe Pack, a free resource filled with simple, blood-sugar-friendly meals to help you support your GLP-1 naturally. Imagine fewer afternoon crashes, steady energy, and feeling full for hours after eating, without cutting calories or chasing quick fixes.
PS: Whether you’re on a GLP-1 medication or simply want to stabilize hunger and energy, these meals make it easy to start supporting your biology with every bite.
Send this to someone who keeps saying “I’m starving again already!” or feels like they’ve “tried everything. Their hormones might just need a little love, and this is where it starts.
