Foods to Eat to Optimize Your Diet on GLP-1's

When using GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, or Mounjaro, your dietary needs and responses to food may change. Here's a food guide that focuses on enhancing the effectiveness of your medication, managing common side effects, and supporting your overall health.

1. Proteins to Preserve Muscle and for Satiety

  • Lean poultry (chicken breast, turkey)
  • Fish (salmon, tuna, cod) - also provides omega-3s which can help with inflammation
  • Egg whites - easy to digest for those experiencing nausea
  • Greek yogurt - probiotics can aid digestion, which is often slowed by GLP-1 medications
  • Lean beef - iron-rich, important for those experiencing fatigue
  • Plant-based options (tofu, tempeh, legumes) - high in fiber, which can help manage constipation

Protein is so important for GLP-1 users as it helps preserve muscle mass during rapid weight loss and promotes long-lasting satiety. Aim for around 0.75 grams of protein per pound of body weight daily.

2. Non-Starchy Vegetables for Nutrient Density and Gut Health

  • Leafy greens (spinach, kale) - rich in folate and iron, important for energy levels
  • Broccoli and cauliflower - high in fiber to combat constipation
  • Bell peppers - high in vitamin C, which can aid iron absorption
  • Zucchini and cucumber - high water content to help with hydration
  • Asparagus - natural diuretic that can help with fluid retention
  • Fermented vegetables (sauerkraut, kimchi) - probiotics to support gut health

These vegetables provide essential nutrients and fiber while being low in calories. The fiber content is particularly important for managing the constipation that some GLP-1 users experience.

3. Healthy Fats for Hormone Balance and Nutrient Absorption

  • Avocado - creamy texture can be appealing if experiencing taste changes
  • Nuts and seeds - provide satiety and can help with blood sugar control
  • Olive oil - anti-inflammatory properties can help with overall health
  • Fatty fish - omega-3s support heart health and may help with mood regulation

While GLP-1 medications reduce appetite, including healthy fats is important for hormone production and nutrient absorption. They also add flavor, which can be helpful if you're experiencing taste changes.

4. Low-Glycemic Fruits for Blood Sugar Management

  • Berries - high in antioxidants and fiber
  • Apples and pears - the pectin fiber can aid in feeling full
  • Citrus fruits - vitamin C can help with iron absorption and immune function

These lower-glycemic fruits provide essential nutrients without causing rapid blood sugar spikes, which is crucial for GLP-1 users who are often managing diabetes or prediabetes alongside weight loss.

5. Complex Carbohydrates for Sustained Energy (in moderation)

  • Quinoa - complete protein source, important for vegetarian GLP-1 users
  • Oats - beta-glucan fiber can help with feelings of fullness
  • Sweet potatoes - provide steady energy and are often well-tolerated
  • Lentils and beans - high in both protein and fiber

While carbohydrate intake should be monitored, small portions of these complex carbs can provide sustained energy and support gut health. The fiber content is particularly beneficial for managing the slowed digestion often experienced with GLP-1 medications.

"The goal of a GLP-1 diet isn't just weight loss—it's metabolic health. We're aiming for stable blood sugar, reduced inflammation, and improved overall well-being."~ Dr. K. Huffman, Bariatric Physician




Foods to Limit or Avoid on GLP-1 Medications

  • High-fat foods - can exacerbate nausea and slow gastric emptying
  • Spicy foods - may increase gastrointestinal discomfort
  • Sugary foods and drinks - can counteract the blood sugar-regulating effects of the medication
  • Alcohol - may increase the risk of low blood sugar and can interact with the medication
  • Highly processed foods - often high in calories and low in nutrients, counteracting weight loss efforts

These foods can intensify side effects, interfere with the medication's effectiveness, or hinder your weight loss.

For a comprehensive list of foods to avoid while on GLP-1 medications, see our article on foods to avoid while taking Ozempic.


Special Considerations for GLP-1 Medication Users

Concern Dietary Strategies
Nausea Eat smaller, more frequent meals; focus on bland, easily digestible foods like bananas, rice, and toast; stay hydrated with clear fluids
Constipation Increase fiber intake gradually; stay well-hydrated; include probiotic-rich foods; consider a fiber supplement if needed
Rapid fullness Eat protein-rich foods first; use smaller plates; eat slowly and mindfully; consider liquid nutrition like protein shakes or Biocare Beverages
Taste changes Experiment with herbs and spices; try cold foods if hot foods are unappealing; focus on nutrient-dense foods even if appetite is reduced
Nutrient deficiencies Focus on nutrient-dense foods; consider fortified foods; discuss supplements with your healthcare provider

Remember, individual responses to GLP-1 medications can vary. You'll need to work closely with your doctor or a registered dietitian to tailor these recommendations to your specific needs and medication regimen. Regular monitoring of your nutritional status and adjustment of your diet plan may be necessary as your body adapts to the medication and your weight changes.
