What’s the Best Diet When Taking GLP-1 Medication

GLP-1 medications like Ozempic and Mounjaro are revolutionizing type 2 diabetes management and weight loss. These powerful drugs work by mimicking the natural hormone GLP-1, which helps regulate blood sugar, slow digestion, and reduce appetite. But while these medications can be highly effective on their own, your results can be significantly enhanced with the right diet.

  1. What’s the Best Diet When Taking GLP-1 Medication? GLP-1 medications like Ozempic and Mounjaro are revolutionizing weight loss and type 2 diabetes management. These powerful drugs work by mimicking the natural hormone GLP-1, which helps regulate blood sugar, slow digestion, and reduce appetite. But while these medications can be highly effective on their own, your results can be significantly enhanced with the right diet. At Ongo Weight Loss, we believe in a comprehensive approach that combines medication, nutrition, and lifestyle changes for long-term success. If you're wondering what to eat while taking a GLP-1 medication, read on. Why Diet Matters with GLP-1 Medications While GLP-1 medications reduce appetite and improve satiety, they don’t work in isolation. Your body still needs nutrient-dense foods to fuel energy, support metabolism, and maintain lean muscle mass during weight loss. A poor diet can also lead to side effects like nausea, bloating, and fatigue while on GLP-1 treatments. Best Diet Tips When Taking GLP-1 Medication 1. Focus on Protein First Protein helps preserve muscle mass and keeps you feeling full longer. Aim to include a lean source of protein at every meal: ● Chicken, turkey, fish ● Tofu, tempeh ● Greek yogurt or cottage cheese ● Protein shakes (low-sugar) 2. Emphasize Fiber-Rich Foods Fiber slows digestion and supports healthy gut bacteria. It also helps prevent constipation, a common side effect of GLP-1 medications. ● Vegetables: broccoli, spinach, bell peppers

  2. ● Fruits: berries, apples, pears ● Whole grains: quinoa, oats, brown rice ● Legumes: lentils, beans, chickpeas 3. Limit Processed Carbs and Sugars Refined carbs can spike blood sugar and make GLP-1 drugs less effective. Reduce intake of: ● White bread, pasta ● Sugary drinks and desserts ● Processed snacks 4. Eat Smaller, Balanced Meals Because GLP-1 medications slow gastric emptying, large meals can cause nausea or bloating. Try: ● Eating 3 smaller meals with 1–2 snacks ● Chewing slowly and eating mindfully ● Drinking water between meals, not during 5. Stay Hydrated Proper hydration is crucial, especially as appetite decreases and you may naturally eat less. Aim for: ● 64–80 oz of water per day ● Electrolyte-rich fluids if you're very active What to Avoid While on GLP-1 Medications ● Greasy or fried foods: May worsen nausea ● Alcohol: Can lower blood sugar unpredictably

  3. ● Highly acidic foods: May irritate the stomach ● Overeating: Can cause stomach pain due to delayed digestion Where to Buy GLP-1 Medication Online Looking for a safe, reliable way to start your GLP-1 journey?
