Anna-Lena Klapp, Head of Research, ProVeg International Quote – “GLP-1 medicines are changing the weight-management landscape in the UK, but reduced appetite does not automatically mean improved nutrition. As more people use these treatments, we need to ensure they have access to practical, evidence-based support that protects diet quality, muscle health and long-term wellbeing.
“This is not about prescribing one way of eating. It is about helping people make every mouthful count with enough protein, fibre and vital micronutrients, while recognising that a well-planned, plant-rich diet can offer useful tools for many patients.”
