Can I Follow the New You Plan if I Have Been Prescribed Antibiotics?

If you’ve been prescribed antibiotics, it’s important to follow the instructions carefully, as this may affect your ability to follow the Total Plan. Your health always comes first, and we’re here to help you make the right decision for your situation.


💊 Guidelines for Taking Antibiotics While on Plan

If your antibiotics must be taken on an empty stomach:

You can continue with the Total Plan.
Simply take your antibiotics between meals, as directed by your GP or pharmacist.


⚠️ If your antibiotics must be taken with food:

We recommend pausing the Total Plan if your medication requires food to aid absorption.

However, if you are only required to take one antibiotic per day, you may consider temporarily switching to the Switch Plan, which allows for:

  • A low-calorie meal alongside your New You products
  • Greater flexibility to accommodate your medication needs while staying on track

🩺 Why Pausing the Total Plan Might Be Necessary

Shakes and soups are digested quickly, potentially affecting the absorption of antibiotics. This may:

  • Reduce the effectiveness of the medication
  • Increase the risk of side effects

Following your doctor’s instructions and the guidance provided with your medication is essential to ensure proper treatment and recovery.


🧑‍⚕️ Consult Your GP for Personalised Advice

If you’re unsure whether to pause or adjust your plan:

  • Speak to your GP or pharmacist for tailored guidance
  • They can help you decide whether to continue, pause, or switch your plan
  • Always prioritise your medical treatment and recovery
