A practical GLP-1 diet guide: best foods, foods to limit, meal ideas, and tips to reduce nausea/constipation while supporting steady weight loss.
GLP1 dietary guidelines recommend proteins, healthy fats, fiber, and whole foods while also advising that you keep away from simple carbs, sugars, and excessive saturated fats. Your food choices directly affect how well GLP-1 medications work and how you feel while taking them.
When you take a GLP-1 agonist, food stays in your stomach longer. Because of this, certain foods can contribute more to the GI side effects, like spicy and high-fat foods. GLP-1s also reduce your appetite, so you end up eating less. But your body still needs a variety of nutrients to be healthy.
