Best Diet for GLP-1 Patients: Semaglutide & Wegovy Nutrition Guide

By Juanderful Aesthetics | Brookhaven, GA

🌿 Optimizing Your Health with Every Bite

If you’re using a GLP-1 medication like Semaglutide, Wegovy, or Ozempic, you’re already taking a powerful step toward long-term weight loss and metabolic health. But while these medications help reduce appetite and regulate blood sugar, your diet determines how well they work.

At Juanderful Aesthetics, we help you pair powerful treatment with smarter nutrition. Here’s the ultimate guide to what to eat—and what to avoid—while taking GLP-1 medications.

🥗 GLP-1 Friendly Foods: What to Eat and Why

GLP-1 medications slow digestion and suppress hunger. That means smaller portions, but also smarter choices. Your body still needs essential nutrients to thrive, recover, and burn fat efficiently.

✅ Prioritize These Foods:

• Lean Proteins: Chicken breast, turkey, tofu, salmon, eggs, protein shakes

• Non-Starchy Veggies: Spinach, kale, zucchini, cucumbers, peppers

• Clean Carbs: Quinoa, steel-cut oats, berries, sweet potatoes

• Healthy Fats: Avocado, chia seeds, olive oil, almonds

  
  

🧠 Why it works: These foods promote satiety, muscle repair, and consistent energy without spiking blood sugar.

🚫 What to Limit or Avoid on GLP-1s

While your appetite may be lower, it’s still important to avoid foods that can cause discomfort, nausea, or weight regain.

❌ Cut Back On:

• Fried and greasy foods (can worsen nausea)

• Sugar-sweetened drinks and processed snacks

• Alcohol (can increase side effects and dehydration)

• Large or fast meals (GLP-1s slow digestion—eat slowly!)

  
  

💧 The Importance of Hydration & Meal Timing

Because GLP-1s slow stomach emptying, big meals = big discomfort. Instead, aim for:

• 3 small meals + 1–2 snacks daily

• Hydration goal: 64–80 oz of water per day

• Try: Electrolyte-enhanced water or caffeine-free herbal tea

  
  

Pro Tip: Add lemon or cucumber slices to water to curb cravings and support digestion.
