Recommendations on What to Eat
Eat Lean Protein at Every Meal:
Lean proteins, such as skinless chicken breast, white fish, lean meat, or plant-based proteins, is a good way to get your protein and feel fuller for longer. These types of foods are low in saturated fand and calories, which can help you lose weight.
Consume More Fruits and Vegetables:
Eating a diet rich in fruits and vegetables can help you consume fewer calories and get more vitamins, minerals, and fiber. Fiber helps slow the breakdown and absorption of carbohydrates in your bloodstream. Nutrient-rich fruits and veggies can boost satiety, making you feel fuller. Try to fill half of your plate with vegetables and fruits. Opt for low-glycemic fruits and veggies like greens, lentils, chickpeas, grapefruit, and berries.
Snack on Seeds and Nuts:
Seeds and nuts are full of healthy fats. Protein, and fiber. Snacking on pumpkin seeds, walnuts, or hemp seeds while taking Semaglutide can help you feel satiated, which can help with your weight loss efforts. Nuts and seeds are also high in essential minerals like zinc and magnesium, which boost energy and support a strong immune system.
Prioritize Complex Carbohydrates:
Complex carbohydrates, like brown rice, quinoa, and whole wheat pasta, are high in fiber and digested and absorbed more slowly into the bloodstream than refined carbohydrates. As a result, this produces a slower, lower rise in blood sugar levels and can help you feel full for longer. Aim to fill ¼ of your plate with complex carbohydrates. Doing so is a great way to maximize your results when taking Semaglutide.
Stay Well Hydrated:
Staying hydrated is important when taking Semaglutide and Tirzepatide. Your small and large intestines help absorb water from your food. Therefore, the longer gastric emptying takes, the drier your solid waste will be. Dry, hard stools are uncomfortable and difficult to pass. Drinking plenty of water is a great way to prevent constipation. A general guideline is to consume 30 mL of fluids per kilogram of body weight, or about 0.5oz/lbs of your body weight.
What Not to Eat While on Program:
No foods are completely prohibited. However, some foods should be reduced or avoided altogether if possible. This is because certain foods can increase side effects such as bloating, nausea, and abdominal cramping. Additionally, fatty, or saturated foods can contribute to weight gain. Limiting the following foods below reduces the chances of increasing side effects that you experience with Semaglutide or Tirzepatide.
