Nutrition While On GLP-1
GLP-1 medications can significantly reduce appetite, which makes the quality of your food especially important.
Our nutrition guidance is straightforward and practical. Rather than complicated meal plans or overly restrictive diets, we help you focus on the fundamentals that support healthy weight loss.
Protein First
Protein helps support lean muscle, strength, fullness, and recovery.
Aim to include a quality protein source with meals whenever possible.
Choose Nutrient-Rich Foods
Prioritize foods that are rich in protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals, and healthy fats. Simple, balanced meals can help you obtain the nutrition you need, even when your appetite is diminished.
This approach will help prevent hair loss, muscle loss, and constipation.
Portion Control
GLP-1 medications may help you feel full more quickly. It’s important to maintain a healthy diet, no matter how full you feel.
Stay Hydrated
Drinking enough fluids can help support digestion, energy, physical activity, and overall health.
Build Healthy Habits
The goal is not an extreme diet.
We focus on realistic habits that support your weight-loss results during treatment and help you maintain them long-term.
GLP-1 and Weight Loss FAQ’s
What are GLP-1 medications?
GLP-1 medications work with hormonal pathways involved in appetite, fullness, digestion, and blood sugar regulation. They may be prescribed as part of a medically supervised weight-management program for appropriate patients
Will GLP-1 medication help control hunger?
Many patients use GLP-1 therapy specifically because of its effects on appetite and fullness. Treatment may help reduce persistent hunger, decrease cravings, and make smaller portions more satisfying.
How quickly will I lose weight?
Weight-loss results vary from person to person. Your starting weight, treatment response, nutrition, activity, health history, medication tolerance, and consistency can all influence your progress.
Does MD Koru offer Semaglutide and Tirzepatide?
Yes. Semaglutide and Tirzepatide may be considered for patients who are appropriate candidates following a medical evaluation.
Do I still need to watch what I eat?
Yes, but we don’t focus on extreme dieting. Because appetite may decrease, we emphasize eating enough protein, staying hydrated, choosing nutrient-dense foods, and maintaining balanced nutrition.
Is GLP-1 weight loss appropriate for everyone?
No, prescription weight-loss medications are not suitable for all patients. We review your medical history, current medications, lab results, and individual risk factors before initiating treatment.
