How to Enjoy Takeaways on GLP-1s + Win Hub Membership

17 Sept

Being on a GLP-1 often means smaller appetites, food aversions, and a stronger focus on protein. As I found this weekend that can make choosing a takeaway tricky especially when menus are packed with high-calorie, low-nutrient options.

The good news? Takeaways can absolutely fit into your journey. It’s about choosing meals that:

✅ Prioritise protein first (chicken, fish, lean meats, beans)
✅ Include veg where possible
✅ Keep portion sizes manageable
✅ Avoid excess fried sides, creamy sauces, or oversized portions

So to help you out here’s a quick guide to some of the UK’s most popular restaurants and what to order:

💡Hub Tip

If your appetite is reduced, consider:

Ordering a starter instead of a main
Sharing a meal or saving half for the next day
Asking for grilled instead of fried where possible

Enjoying a takeaway doesn’t mean you’re “off track.” It’s about making informed choices that still work for your body and your journey.
