The Super Simple GLP-1 Diet Slow Cooker Cookbook

You decide at 8am. Dinner shows up at 6.

The Super Simple GLP-1 Diet Slow Cooker Cookbook is a cookbook by certified health coach Jess Perkz with 101 gluten-free, high-protein slow cooker recipes for women on a GLP-1 medication. Most dinners take ten minutes of prep in the morning and cook while you are out.

GLP-1 medications change hunger fast. Portions shrink, appetite goes quiet, and rich or very sweet food can start sitting badly. The part nobody warns you about is dinner. At six o’clock, with no appetite and no ideas, the frozen pizza wins.

This book moves the cooking to the morning, when you still have something in the tank. Ten minutes of prep, lid on, and dinner cooks itself while you get on with your day. At six you don’t cook. You lift a lid.

• Make It Ahead: bone broth, shredded chicken, beans from scratch, marinara, and four slow cooker desserts
• 20 quick sides and sauces that never need the pot, because the pot is busy making dinner
• Slow cooker basics and a troubleshooting guide for when things go sideways

One pot for the whole table

Protein first, fiber second, fat to satisfy, starch only if there’s room. Every recipe is already built in that order, so there’s nothing to track. Rice, potatoes and pasta go on the side, which means everyone eats from the same pot and takes as much as they want. Keep it in your back pocket for the busy nights.
