    GLP-1 friendly lorem ipsum dolor sit amet...juuust kidding! But we got your attention, right? GLP-1 dialogue is taking the world by storm, and this trend is here to stay. With these drugs reshaping how we think about food and nutrition, we thought that a Better-for-You episode on GLP-1 compatible meals would be apropo. Our first GLP-1 themed episode is on Health Choice Steamers - a staple in the frozen food aisle that has recently launched an "On Track" label on the meals considered to be "GLP-1 friendly" In this episode, we discussed the history of GLP-1 drugs and the Healthy Choice brand, tried the GLP-1 friendly meal under conditions to mimic reduced appetite, and go in depth on the nutritionals.
