About GLP-1 Prep

Eating less is easy. Eating well takes a little more thought.

Medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro and Zepbound can change your relationship with food dramatically. You might feel full after just a few bites, lose interest in meals you used to enjoy, or simply forget to eat.

That's where things get tricky.

When you're eating less, what you eat matters more. Getting enough protein, fibre and essential nutrients becomes especially important — and not always easy when your appetite has other plans.

GLP-1 Prep is here to make that part easier.

Good food. Smaller portions. No unnecessary complications.

We collect and develop recipes for people taking GLP-1 medications, with an emphasis on protein, fibre, sensible portions and food that actually tastes good.

Not every meal needs to be a nutritional masterpiece. Sometimes you just want something you can cook in 20 minutes, eat half of, and enjoy again tomorrow.

That's the kind of cooking we're interested in.

You'll find quick dinners, make-ahead lunches, breakfasts, snacks and desserts. Every recipe includes nutritional information, so you can see what you're eating without having to calculate everything yourself.

And because eating should still be enjoyable, we don't believe that healthy food has to mean bland chicken, steamed broccoli and endless protein shakes.

A practical approach, not another diet philosophy

We're not here to tell you how much weight to lose, what your body should look like, or whether GLP-1 medication is right for you.

Those decisions belong to you and your healthcare professionals.

Our focus is much simpler: helping you make good food choices when your appetite is smaller than it used to be.

We aim to keep our information accurate, draw on reliable nutritional evidence, and be clear about what we know and what we don't. Recipes and nutritional calculations are useful tools, not medical prescriptions.

Who's behind GLP-1 Prep?

GLP-1 Prep is an independent project built around a simple idea: people using these medications deserve better food inspiration than another list of things they shouldn't eat.

We use technology to help research, develop and organise recipes, but the goal isn't to make food more complicated. Quite the opposite.

It's to help you find something good to eat, make it without too much effort, and get on with your day.

Hi, I'm Gerald.

I'm Gerald, an Austrian entrepreneur, technology enthusiast, and someone who genuinely loves good food.

I've spent much of my professional life building digital products and exploring what technology can do to make everyday life easier. GLP-1 Prep is one of those projects where technology meets something much more personal: my love of cooking.

And yes, I actually cook the recipes you'll find here. I eat them, experiment with them, and genuinely love them. If a recipe isn't something I'd look forward to eating myself, it has no business being on this site.

I'm not a doctor, dietitian, or nutrition scientist, and I won't pretend to be one. What I bring to GLP-1 Prep is curiosity, a practical mindset, a love of cooking, and the belief that eating well should still be a pleasure — even when you're eating less.

I hope you find a few new favourites here. I certainly have.
