High-fiber foods for when your gut slows down<\/h3>\n<p>GLP-1s are known to slow digestion, which can help you feel full longer. But that can also lead to constipation (<a href=\"https:\/\/ajcn.nutrition.org\/article\/S0002-9165(25)00240-0\/fulltext#:~:text=GLP%2D1s%20delay%20gastric%20emptying%2C%20leading%20to%20bloating%2C%20fullness%2C%20and%20nausea%20%5B43%5D\">3<\/a>). Foods rich in fiber (like oats, chia seeds, lentils, fruits and vegetables) can help regulate your digestion and support healthy blood sugar levels (<a href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC9268622\/\">6<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Just go slow and be sure you\u2019re drinking enough water. Too much fiber too fast and not enough fluids can lead to digestive discomfort. You might have to deal with gas, bloating, and other gastrointestinal side effects (<a href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC9268622\/#sec10-nutrients-14-02641:~:text=Finally%2C%20dietary%20restrictions%20and%20excess%20fiber%20are%20addressed%2C%20which%20can%20cause%20episodes%20of%20diarrhea%20and%20dehydration%20and%20increase%20the%20likelihood%20of%20bloating%20and%20flatulence%20or%20even%20bowel%20obstruction.\">6<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen digestion slows, fiber becomes your friend, but you have to ease into it,\u201d says Jaeger. \u201cA gradual increase in fiber, along with fluids, may help support regularity and reduce the chance of uncomfortable side effects.\u201d She recommends logging your meals and your water in MyFitnessPal to see what your intake looks like today and identify meals or snacks where you can make adjustments to meet your goals.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-hydrating-foods-and-fluids\">4. Hydrating foods and fluids<\/h3>\n<p>Nausea, diarrhea, and reduced appetite can all increase the risk of dehydration (<a href=\"https:\/\/ajcn.nutrition.org\/article\/S0002-9165(25)00240-0\/fulltext#:~:text=dehydration%20caused%20by%20nausea%20and%20vomiting\">3<\/a>). \u201cHydration is often overlooked, but it plays a huge role in how you feel on GLP-1s.

It can sometimes lead to vomiting or discomfort. Eating small meals and snacks every few hours may help you feel better throughout the day (<a href=\"https:\/\/ajcn.nutrition.org\/article\/S0002-9165(25)00240-0\/fulltext#:~:text=Smaller%2C%20more%20frequent%20meals%20and%20avoiding%20fatty%20or%20high%20fiber%20foods%20during%20the%20first%20few%20days%20of%20treatment%20can%20help%20alleviate%20symptoms%20%5B45%5D.\">3<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBigger meals can backfire on a GLP-1. Smaller, more frequent meals may be easier to tolerate and can help you stay energized throughout the day,\u201d says Hernandez.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re used to three square meals a day, consider gradual changes at traditional meal times like downsizing your plate and serving yourself smaller portions. To make up for any nutrient gaps, you can add one or two small, nutrient-dense snacks when your appetite allows for it.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-sugary-ultra-processed-snacks\">3. Sugary, ultra-processed snacks<\/h3>\n<p>Even though you may be eating less, your body still benefits from steady blood sugar levels (<a href=\"https:\/\/diabetes.org\/food-nutrition\/understanding-carbs\">9<\/a>). Candy, soda, pastries, and white bread can cause sharp spikes and drops in blood sugar (<a href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC8792817\/\">10<\/a>). Plus, they might also be harder to tolerate if your stomach is sensitive.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGrabbing a small candy bar or can of soda may seem easy when you\u2019re short on time and not very hungry, but they don\u2019t offer lasting energy. Try pairing a fiber-rich carbohydrate with a protein to stay fuller longer,\u201d says Katherine Basbaum, a registered dietitian and Food Data Curator with MyFitnessPal.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, choose:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Whole fruits over fruit juice<\/li>\n<li>Nut butter paired with fruit or hummus and veggies over cookies and chips<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-carbonated-beverages\">4. Carbonated beverages<\/h3>\n<p>Sparkling water might seem refreshing, but carbonation can lead to gas and bloating (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0022316622109600\">11<\/a>). If you\u2019re already feeling some gastrointestinal side effects from your GLP-1 medication it may be best to skip your sparkling water for the time being and swap for a still beverage (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tandfonline.com\/doi\/full\/10.1080\/00325481.2021.2002616#d1e438:~:text=Patients%20should%20be%20advised,of%20nausea%20and%20dyspepsia).\">12<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCarbonation may make bloating and nausea worse. Still drinks, particularly those without added sugars, are usually a safer choice while your gut adjusts,\u201d says Basbaum. Try infusing still water with lemon or cucumber slices for a refreshing twist.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-alcohol\">5. Alcohol<\/h3>\n<p>Alcohol is known to irritate the stomach and add empty calories. It may also impair judgment around food, making it harder to listen to your body\u2019s hunger and fullness cues (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.niaaa.nih.gov\/alcohols-effects-health\/alcohols-effects-body\">13<\/a>). The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dietaryguidelines.gov\/resources\/2020-2025-dietary-guidelines-online-materials\">Dietary Guidelines for Americans<\/a> recommend that those of legal drinking age choose not to drink or do so in moderation (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/alcohol\/about-alcohol-use\/moderate-alcohol-use.html\">14<\/a>).&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>While there are currently no warnings against drinking alcohol while taking GLP-1 drugs, you should know that your body&#8217;s response to alcohol may be different while on the drug. You may feel stronger effects of the alcohol or experience blood sugar changes (<a href=\"https:\/\/healthyliferecovery.com\/can-you-drink-alcohol-while-taking-glp-1-medications\/#:~:text=Be%20Aware%20of%20Reduced%20Tolerance,even%20with%20very%20little%20consumption!%E2%80%9D\">15<\/a>). \u201cAnd while most of your calories should ideally come from nutrient-dense foods, if you do choose to drink alcohol, do so in moderation and make sure to speak with your physician about any medication interactions from food or drink before starting a new prescription,\u201d says Basbaum.<\/p>\n<p>Consider swapping your go-to cocktail for a refreshing <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.myfitnesspal.com\/mocktail-recipes\/\">mocktail<\/a>!&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-frequently-asked-questions\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\">\n<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1754667986932\">\n<h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\" style=\"font-weight: 600;margin-block-start: 8px;margin-block-end: 16px\">Should I eat less while taking a GLP-1?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">\u201cYou don\u2019t need to force yourself to eat less.
