Tide Wellness • GLP-1 Nutrition Plan

Designed for patients using GLP-1 agonists (e.g., semaglutide, tirzepatide). Focus: lean protein, fiber-rich carbs, hydration, gentle textures when needed, and smaller portions eaten slowly.

Why this works (quick evidence-based tips)
  • Protein first: Prioritize lean protein at meals to preserve muscle during weight loss and support satiety. Clinical guidance for GLP-1 therapy emphasizes higher protein and resistance training.
  • Fiber & quality carbs: Vegetables, legumes, oats, quinoa, and whole grains help fullness and glycemic control.
  • Gentle when nauseated: Choose low-fat, bland, smaller meals (e.g., yogurt, eggs, rice, soups), sip fluids, avoid greasy/spicy foods during flares.
  • Portion & pace: Smaller portions, slow eating, and stopping at comfortable fullness reduce GI side effects.
