185. How to Eat Well on GLP-1s – Part 2: Gut Health, Protein Strategy & Stopping GLP-1s
The Obesity Doctor PodcastShow Notes
In Part 2 of this series, we're diving into the practical nutrition strategies that can help you feel your best while taking medications like Ozempic, Mounjaro, and Zepbound.
From constipation and digestive changes to hitting your protein goals with a low appetite, this episode focuses on the habits that support long-term success and help you maintain your results.
We'll cover:
• Why constipation is so common on GLP-1 medications and how to prevent it • How to reach your protein goals when you get full quickly • What to do when protein foods don't sound appealing • How GLP-1 medications change hunger and fullness cues • What to expect if you need to temporarily stop your medication
GLP-1 medications can be powerful tools, but they work best when paired with the right nutrition and lifestyle habits. Learning how to fuel your body, support digestion, and adapt to your changing appetite is key to protecting your health while achieving sustainable weight loss.
