Snacking on Weight Loss Meds? Here’s Why Protein Is Your New Best Friend

Let’s talk facts: weight loss meds like Ozempic and Wegovy are having a moment. And for good reason, they help curb appetite, keep blood sugar stable, and support weight goals. But here’s the catch: when your hunger takes a backseat, so can your nutrition.

That’s where protein-packed, knock-out snacking comes in.

At The Curators, we don’t just snack, we snack with purpose. High protein, low fuss, and full-on flavour. If you’re on weight loss meds and wondering how to fuel your day without force-feeding chicken breasts at 10am, we’ve got you covered.

First up - why does protein matter so much?

When your appetite’s MIA, every bite needs to do more. Protein helps you:

Hang onto lean muscle (because losing weight shouldn’t mean losing strength)
Feel fuller for longer (less grazing, more get-up-and-go)
Recover better after movement (even a short walk counts!)

And the best bit? Protein keeps your metabolism ticking over, even when you’re eating less. Pretty powerful stuff.

So where do snacks come in?

Let’s face it, when your appetite’s on holiday, full meals aren’t always happening. That’s where power snacks come in hot. We’re talking small, mighty moments of protein that work harder than your average biscuit.

Our snacks are built for this moment:

🥩 Biltong - Air-dried British & Irish beef, expertly seasoned and packed with protein (up to 14g per serving), and now Nitrate free. No sugar. No fuss. Just bold, savoury flavour that means business. Think steak, but snackable.
🐷 Pork Puffs - Light, crispy, and wildly satisfying. Made from prime pork rind and puffed to perfection, these bad boys are high in protein, low in carbs, and big on crunch. Perfect for all cravings.
🍟 Protein Chips - Crisps, but make them functional. These aren’t your lunchbox Walkers, we’ve dialled up the crunch and the protein, and left the empty calories behind. Crunchy, bold, and guilt-free. You're welcome.

✅ 10g+ protein per serving
