Your GLP-1 Bestie
When Food Tracking Is Helpful vs Harmful On Your GLP-1 Journey (Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, Zepbound)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Tracking your food can be an incredibly helpful tool, but it is not something everyone needs to do forever.
In this episode, Registered Dietitian, Certified Personal Trainer, and GLP-1 Bestie Gianna Beasley talks about when tracking calories or macros can be useful, especially for people taking GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, Zepbound, semaglutide, or tirzepatide, and when tracking may become harmful.
Gianna also shares life updates, including the return of the podcast, her upcoming GLP-1 membership, and her book The GLP-1 Solution, coming September 23, 2025.

- Why the podcast took a short summer break

Reminders From This Episode:
Tracking can be a tool, but it should never control your life.
For some people, tracking can help identify under-eating, low protein intake, inconsistent meals, or nutrition gaps on a GLP-1 journey.
But if tracking starts to impact your mental health, create food fear, trigger obsessive thoughts, or make you feel like your worth is tied to numbers, it is no longer serving you.
The goal is not to track forever. The goal is to learn, build awareness, and use the information in a way that supports your health.
