'The ultimate guide to eating well when your appetite is small.' – Nichola Ludlam-Raine, specialist weight management and bariatric dietitian

The Perfect GLP1 Companion

What do you eat when your appetite disappears — but your body still needs fuel?


Whether you're taking GLP-1 medications like Ozempic or Mounjaro, or facing appetite loss due to illness, recovery, hormones or stress, eating well with a reduced appetite takes a different kind of strategy.

When food feels like a chore, portions are small, and motivation is low, this book is here to help.

The Low Appetite Cookbook offers a flexible, practical guide to eating well when you're eating less. With nutrient-rich recipes, smart food pairings and no-fuss ideas, this book helps you to still meet your nutritional needs in fewer bites — without pressure or overwhelm.

Inside you’ll find:

  • Nutrient-dense recipes built around quality, not quantity
  • Easy, protein-rich meals and snacks tailored to your energy and appetite
  • No-cook options and speedy meals for low-effort days
  • Tools to simplify cooking and boost motivation
  • Strategies to support immunity, energy and muscle strength

Low appetite eating is about eating smarter, when every bite counts and every meal matters.

Small portions. Big nutrition. Real results.
