A doctor has shared five Christmas foods that can aid weight loss by naturally boosting GLP-1 levels, the hormone targeted by appetite-suppressing drugs like Wegovy
A health expert has shared a festive tip for those looking to maintain their waistline over the Christmas period, revealing five yuletide treats that can naturally replicate the effects of weight loss drugs such as Wegovy by stimulating GLP-1 . This hormone is key in slowing digestion and increasing satiety, aiding in appetite control.
Five Christmas foods that could aid in natural weight loss Turkey - As a lean source of protein, turkey helps release GLP-1, extending feelings of fullness. Prof Joseph advises, "Protein takes longer to digest, keeping GLP-1 levels elevated and reducing hunger," suggesting that for a healthier holiday meal, one should forgo rich gravies and sauces and instead pair turkey with roasted veggies or a light cranberry sauce.
"Chestnuts offer fibre and steady energy, preventing overeating later," Prof Joseph explained. They make an excellent, lower-calorie option for snacking during festive gatherings where indulging in richer foods is common.
