GLP-1
Your prescriber runs the medication. This just runs the notebook.
An informal food log to keep alongside your treatment — what you ate, what stayed down, how portions changed, and what the fortnight after a change actually looked like. None of it is monitoring, and none of it has an opinion about your prescription.
Why this isn't filed under diets
Because it isn't one. A GLP-1 is a prescribed medication with a clinic
behind it, not a protocol somebody picked off the internet, and a
/diets/ URL would be making that claim on every page in
front of exactly the readers most likely to notice. The pages here are
about eating — which is the part the clinic can't see, and the part
nobody can reconstruct at a ten-minute review.
The division is simple enough to state in a sentence and worth stating on every page: they run the medication, the dose, the schedule, the bloods and the reviews. This runs the notebook. It's an informal record you keep because appetite stopped being the thing that tells you whether you ate, and because "what does a typical day look like now?" turns out to be an impossible question three months in.
What this section will never do
- Advise on dose, timing, brand or formulation
- Suggest starting, stopping, pausing or changing anything
- Help anyone obtain medication, in any form
- Present itself as monitoring, or as a substitute for a review
- Treat appetite suppression as a licence to eat as little as possible
What's left after all of that is a food diary — which is the thing people on these medications keep asking for and mostly can't find.
Pages in this section
The parts worth writing down
Each with what's actually worth recording, what the log tends to show, and when to stop logging and phone somebody.
Food Diary
A line per meal when you can. A tick when you can't
Protein
A sentence a meal. No weighing, no packets
Side Effects
When something happens. Ten seconds, at the time
Portion Changes
A photo when it's a proper plate of food. Not every sip of soup
Titration Weeks
Mark the date, then carry on logging as normal
Coming Off
Much lighter than while you were on it. A few entries a week is plenty
Questions
The things people ask before signing up
Does this track my medication?
Only in the sense that you can mark the date something changed, so the weeks either side can be compared. It doesn't hold a schedule, doesn't remind you, doesn't advise on dose or timing, and has no view about what you're taking. That's your prescriber's territory and we stay out of it.
Will it tell me what to eat while I'm on it?
No. It records what you did eat. Where the honest answer is that a dietitian should be looking at this — protein while you're losing weight quickly is the usual one — the page says that rather than inventing a target.
Isn't a food diary pointless when I'm barely eating?
It's the opposite, and that's the reason this section exists. When meals are small and irregular, nothing about them registers as an event, so three months later you genuinely can't say what you've been eating. The log is also the fastest way to notice you've been eating far too little for a fortnight, which is the actual risk here.
What happens if I stop taking it?
There's a page for exactly that, because the months afterwards are the least documented part of this whole experience and the one people are most anxious about. Appetite returns gradually and portion sense follows it, and both are far easier to see in a record than from inside.
Is my log private?
It's yours, exportable in full including photos, not sold, and not used to train models. Given what's in a log like this, the privacy page sets out specifically what a chat message sends and when.
Can I take this to my clinic?
That's what it's for. Export the window you were asked about, photos included. It answers the first question at every review — what a normal day looks like now — which is otherwise reconstructed from memory in the waiting room.
