Working with a Registered Dietitian while on Weight Loss Medications (Ozempiz, Mounjaro, Wegovy, etc)

GLP-1 agonists are medicines that help people with type 2 diabetes and those who need to lose weight. These medicines work by helping your body control blood sugar levels and make you feel full longer. But to get the best results, it's important to also follow a healthy diet. A registered dietitian can help you make a meal plan that works well with your GLP-1 medicine. Sometimes, people taking GLP-1 agonists may feel nauseous or have upset stomachs. A dietitian can suggest foods that are easy on your stomach and help you get all the nutrients you need.

​

Dietitians also teach you how to make healthy food choices that you can stick with for a long time. They can show you how to control your portion sizes, pick foods that are good for you, and balance different types of foods like proteins, carbs, and fats. This makes sure you are eating in a way that helps your medicine work better and keeps you healthy.

​

Working with a dietitian also means you have someone to help you adjust your diet as needed. They can check your progress and make changes to your meal plan if you're not getting the results you want. They make sure you're eating a balanced diet so you don't miss out on important nutrients. In short, a dietitian helps you get the most out of your GLP-1 medicine and stay healthy.
