What to Eat on GLP-1 Medications

Why Nutrition Matters Even More on GLP-1s

GLP-1 medications reduce appetite — which is how they work. But smaller appetites mean every bite counts more. If you’re eating less, the quality of what you eat becomes critical.

The Priority: Protein First

When your appetite is suppressed, protein is the first thing most patients under-eat. Aim for protein at every meal. Your body still needs the same amount of protein — you’re just eating it in a smaller total volume.

Hydration and Fiber

Many GLP-1 side effects (nausea, constipation) are worsened by dehydration and low fiber intake. Both are easy to address but frequently overlooked.
