Struggling to “be good” at restaurants, scanning every barcode, or wondering why your GLP-1 isn’t moving the dial? In this practical, myth-busting episode, Leanne and Susie unpack three big topics that drive real-world results:

1) Head vs body hunger (how to order smarter when eating out)

• Ditch “shoulds” that trigger later overeating and learn a simple decision flow to feel satisfied without blowing your goals.

• Real menu tweaks that reduce calories while keeping satisfaction high, plus how to balance the rest of your day when a meal is heavier.

2) Ultra-processed foods (UPFs): what the labels miss

• Why some cereals, breads, and convenience options can be smart choices despite scary ingredient lists, and when UPFs truly become a problem.

• A quick guide to reading labels without panic: fibre first, added sugars down, protein where it counts, and context over fear. Recent critiques of NOVA and simplistic scoring apps are pushing for more nuance.

3) GLP-1 reality check: “I’ve only lost a couple of kilos — is it working?”

• What matters most alongside medication: strength training to protect muscle, appetite awareness to actually reduce intake, and realistic timelines by starting weight.

• Why results vary, and the red flags that signal you need tailored nutrition support, not just a script. Real-world data and 2025 trend reports show usage is surging — but habits still drive sustainable outcomes.

Product watch (no endorsements): we analyse a new supermarket mini muffin aimed at kids. It’s still a packaged treat, but the fibre profile and ingredient order make it a comparatively better pick than many lunchbox snacks — and a handy freezer back-up for busy families.
