A practical, encouraging guide to navigating GLP-1 medications with nutrition, muscle, and mindset in mind, written by a veteran sports nutritionist. It turns a loaded, headline-heavy topic into something calm, kind, and actionable.

Warm-up questions

1 What is a food that has always felt like care to you, the thing someone made when you needed looking after?
2 When you picked this book up, what were you quietly hoping it would say to you?

Digging in

1 The book treats protein and muscle as a form of long-term kindness to your future self. Did reading that change how you think about feeding yourself, and did it feel freeing or like one more thing to manage?
2 Skolnik writes about appetite getting quieter on these medications. How did that idea sit with you, strange, enviable, a little sad, or something harder to name?
3 Which small, doable suggestion in here felt the most comforting, like something you could start on a Tuesday without rearranging your whole life?
4 The book keeps circling back to sustainability instead of speed. Where in your own life have you learned that slower actually held better?

Going deep

1 So much of the public conversation about these medications is loud and moralizing. Did this book soften anything you were carrying, judgment of others, or of yourself?
2 By the time you reached the later chapters, what did you feel the author ultimately wanted you to hold onto? Share the feeling she leaves you with rather than the specifics.

On the table

Slow-simmered chicken and white bean stew

Protein-forward and nourishing exactly as the book recommends, but it arrives as a warm bowl in your hands rather than a macro target. One pot, minimal fuss.

Greek yogurt bar with warm honey, toasted walnuts, and roasted pears

Creamy, high-protein, gently sweet. It nods to the book's protein-first mindset while feeling like a treat, and guests build their own small portion.

Soft scrambled egg and herb bites, served warm

Little two-bite servings that respect smaller appetites, a quiet echo of the book's emphasis on eating well rather than eating a lot.

To sip

Spiced ginger and mint tea (non-alcoholic) No alcohol

Ginger and mint are the classic comfort for an unsettled stomach, which the book addresses with real tenderness. Serve in mugs, pot refilled all night.

Warm vanilla protein cocoa (non-alcoholic) No alcohol

Cozy mug, actual protein, zero lecture. The most on-theme indulgence of the night.

Hot spiced cider with a splash of bourbon

The optional grown-up pour, kept small and warm. Offer the cider plain alongside so nobody has to explain their choice.

Soft, unhurried, acoustic warmth. Kitchen-light music that lets people keep talking.
