GLP-1 Meal Planner

GLP-1 medications significantly slow gastric emptying and increase satiety, often reducing appetite by 60-80%. This means smaller, more frequent meals work better than large portions. Our meal planner adjusts portions and suggests foods that are easier to digest and won't trigger nausea or other side effects.

GLP-1 medications can cause side effects like nausea, constipation, and decreased appetite. Standard meal plans often include portions and foods that can worsen these symptoms. Our GLP-1-specific plans focus on foods that help manage side effects while ensuring adequate nutrition for your health goals.

This is very common, especially in the first few weeks. Focus on protein-rich foods first to preserve muscle mass, then healthy fats, and finally carbohydrates. Consider protein shakes or Greek yogurt if solid foods are difficult. Never force yourself to eat, but ensure you're getting at least 800-1000 calories daily minimum.

Yes, but you may need to adjust your approach. With reduced calorie intake, focus on strength training to preserve muscle mass rather than intense cardio. Ensure adequate protein intake (0.8-1g per pound of goal weight) and stay well-hydrated. Exercise 1-2 hours after meals when possible.

Follow GLP-1-optimized eating patterns for as long as you're on the medication. Many people continue these portion sizes and food choices even after stopping medication as they've formed healthy habits. However, you may be able to gradually increase portions as your medication dose stabilizes.

Avoid high-fat, greasy foods (increase nausea), very high-fiber foods initially (can worsen bloating), carbonated drinks (increase stomach discomfort), and alcohol (can cause severe nausea). Focus on lean proteins, cooked vegetables, and simple carbohydrates instead.
