What diet works best for Medicated Weight Loss?
The answer isn’t as simple as following one strict diet such as a Mediterranean or keto-based diet. Instead, you should aim to eat a diet filled with non-starch rich vegetables (spinach, mushrooms, leafy greens), lean protein (turkey, chicken breast, fish, eggs), and whole grains (rice, quinoa, millet). Remember, GLP-1 agonists aim to slow down the digestion process. This is great for nutrient absorption, but terrible for overeating or eating foods that take longer times to digest fully. Greasy high-fat fried food, alcohol, and processed carbohydrates are likely to exacerbate problems such as bloating, nausea, GI problems, and just generally make day-to-day activities less comfortable while medicated. Building a successful diet is about avoiding bad foods as much as it is picking healthy ones.
