The Nutrition Couch – Details, episodes & analysis

Are you relying on the latest weight loss medications, or have you ever wondered if there’s a better way? In this episode of The Nutrition Couch, dietitians Leanne Ward and Susie Burrell break down new research revealing how a diet rich in protein and fibre can deliver results that rival popular medications like Ozempic—without the unwanted side effects.

Join us as we explore:

• Surprising findings from a recent study that compares the effectiveness of lifestyle changes versus weight loss drugs.
• Practical tips on how to naturally enhance weight loss and improve your overall health by making small but impactful tweaks to your daily habits.
• When it’s actually okay to skip a meal and how to listen to your body’s true hunger signals.
• The truth behind the rise of processed meat snacks in supermarkets: are they a convenient choice or just another marketing gimmick?

Plus, we answer a listener’s question about why your weight can fluctuate by up to two kilos in a day and what it really means for your progress.

Whether you’re currently using weight loss medications or exploring natural alternatives, this episode is packed with actionable advice to help you achieve sustainable results.
