What to Eat on GLP-1
Do not just eat less. Make the smaller appetite count.
Summary
Start meals with protein. Add fiber and fluids gradually. Use Alma to spot gaps before they become habits.
The plate order that works for many people
Start with protein, add a fiber-rich plant food, then add carbs or fat as tolerated.
- Protein: Greek yogurt, eggs, fish, chicken, tofu, beans, lentils, cottage cheese.
- Fiber: berries, greens, beans, lentils, oats, vegetables.
- Fluids: water, broth, or unsweetened drinks.
Foods that may worsen side effects
High-fat foods, spicy foods, added sugar, and highly processed snacks may worsen GI side effects for some people. Tolerance varies.
Muscle and micronutrients
Protect protein intake, micronutrients, fluids, and strength training while appetite is lower.
