Pdf Summary
Campbell University Health Center's dietary recommendations for patients on GLP-1 medications like Wegovy, Saxenda, and Zepbound emphasize a strategic approach to eating that prioritizes nutrient-dense foods while avoiding others that may hinder health goals. 1. <strong>Protein First</strong>: Prioritize high-protein foods early in your meals. This includes both animal-based proteins like beef, chicken, fish, and eggs, and plant-based options such as tofu, tempeh, and protein powders or bars. 2. <strong>Vegetables Next</strong>: After proteins, focus on non-starchy vegetables such as broccoli, kale, and spinach, which are low in calories but high in volume and nutrients. 3. <strong>Include Healthy Fats</strong>: Allow for some healthy fats in your meals, like those from nuts, seeds, olive oil, and avocado, but try to limit processed seed oils found in many commercial foods. 4. <strong>Carbohydrates Last</strong>: If still hungry, opt for some fruits and complex carbohydrates like berries, apples, beans, or low-carb bread options, which provide essential nutrients without spiking blood sugar levels. 5. <strong>Avoid High-Fat and Fried Foods</strong>: These can be calorie-dense and may contribute to weight gain or other health issues. 6. <strong>Skip Processed Meats</strong>: These are often high in salts and preservatives that are not conducive to a healthy diet. 7. <strong>Refined Carbohydrates</strong>: Avoid these, including white bread and sugary desserts, which can quickly increase blood sugar levels and often lack nutritional value. 8. <strong>Consider Carbonation</strong>: Limit carbonated beverages as they can cause bloating. 9. <strong>Monitor Alcohol</strong>: Keep alcohol intake low to maintain energy balance and avoid unnecessary calorie consumption. 10. <strong>Eat Mindfully</strong>: Eating slowly can help in recognizing satiety cues, preventing overeating and excessive fullness, aligning with the slower digestion associated with GLP-1 medications. These guidelines aim to promote overall wellness while managing conditions treated by GLP-1 medications.
