🌿 Expert-Level Semaglutide Diet & Food Recommendations

For Maximum Weight Loss, Blood Sugar Balance, and Side Effect Minimization

​

Overview:
Semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy, or compounded versions) works by mimicking GLP-1, a hormone that regulates insulin and appetite. To enhance its effectiveness and minimize gastrointestinal side effects, it’s essential to follow a targeted dietary protocol that supports the drug's mechanism while preserving muscle mass and stabilizing energy.

🧠 Phase 1: Adaptation & Tolerance Building (Weeks 1–4)

• Cooked Vegetables: Zucchini, green beans, carrots, squash, spinach.

• Low Glycemic Fruits: Blueberries, green apples, grapefruit (if no med conflict).

• Easily Digestible Carbs (if needed): Steamed quinoa, jasmine rice (1/4–1/2 cup).

• Hydration Support: Electrolyte water, herbal teas (ginger, fennel, peppermint).
