Navigating holiday diets while on GLP-1 meds

As the holiday season kicks into high gear, maintaining a diet can be challenging, especially for those using GLP-1 medications for weight loss. Insiya Klapper, who has been using the medication Zepbound for nearly two years, has lost about 85 pounds and is determined not to let the holidays slow her progress. “I personally just prefer to be comfortable with what I’m eating. Because if I’m not, I’m going to be dealing with the symptoms,” Klapper said.
Klapper also highlights the potential social awkwardness that weight loss can bring during holiday gatherings. “You might have expectations that people recognize your weight loss and they may not feel comfortable saying anything or they may not stop talking about it and it can feel really uncomfortable,” she said.

Despite the side effects, Klapper believes the benefits outweigh the challenges. Among the improvements in her weight, sleep, energy, and overall health, she values the most the elimination of “food noise”—the constant thoughts about food and eating.
“That itself feels like a miracle because I can think and dream things that I didn’t realize I wasn’t able to do because I was wasting so much time fixating on food,” Klapper said.

Insiya Klapper, who has been taking Zepbound for a year, expressed her hope for FDA approval of the drug to treat sleep apnea. Her wish was granted shortly after, and she shared her excitement on Instagram, highlighting the financial relief it could bring. “A lot of us now have a chance of getting our medication approved.,” she said in an Instagram video. “Oh my goodness. I’m just imagining already having that money back into my pocket. $550?” Klapper said.

About Coach Insiya
Coach Insiya is a GLP-1 Strategist and Mindset Coach who started her weight loss Journey on Zepbound in January 2024. She has a total of ~50% of her starting weight to lose, and this inspired her to dive deep into the research and best practices on GLP-1 medications.
After speaking with hundreds of women on this weight loss journey, she found patterns emerge and solutions built on the foundation of mindset, sustainability and strategy.
Coach Insiya initially began by coaching here and there between her full time hours. Soon she realized that she couldn’t support the women who wanted to learn from her with her already full schedule. She launched her signature course in January 2025 called The GLP-1 Mindset Reset.
Since then, she has continued on to teach / coach/ support 50 women through their weight loss journey. Currently, her flagship membership The GLP-1 Strategy Lab where she teaches the GLP-1 Mindset Reset, The Shot Strategy and offers monthly coaching to support her members.
