GLP-1 Semaglutide Meal Plan Series

Description

The Importance of a Nutrient-Dense Dietary Plans plays a key role while Taking GLP-1 Receptor Agonists Wegovy (semaglutide), Mounjaro (tirzepatide), and Ozempic (semaglutide) are weight loss drugs that belong to a class of medications known as glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists. These drugs work by increasing the release of insulin, reducing appetite, and slowing down the digestion process, which can lead to weight loss. While they can be effective in helping individuals lose weight, there are potential risks associated with their use, including the risk of malnutrition. Some of the symptoms include dehydration, cramping, diarrhea, fatigue, difficulty focusing and more severe risks including pancreatitis and thyroid cancer.

The GLP-1 Semaglutide Series of Meal Plans is focused on nutrient density. They include the following:

GLP – 1 High Cholesterol
30% carbs, 40% protein & 30% fat
Calorie Ranges 1200, 1400, 1600, 1800, 2000 and 2200

The High Cholesterol meal plan is for anyone who has been diagnosed with hypercholesterolemia, has heart disease or has a risk of developing heart disease. Patients taking statins, may also benefit from following this plan. This meal plan is high in fiber, rich in anti-inflammatory food such as fruit, vegetables and high Omega-3 foods such as fatty fish, nuts and seeds. This plan is rich in both soluble and insoluble dietary fiber due to its ability to improve “bad” serum cholesterol.

GLP – 1 Hypertension
25% carbs, 50% protein & 25% fat
Calorie Ranges 1200, 1400, 1600, 1800, 2000 and 2200
Creator: Suzanne Fisher, LD RD

The Hypertension meal plan was developed for individuals diagnosed with high blood pressure. Key components are low sodium foods with a daily recommended n=intake of less than 2,300 mg/day.
This plan combines balanced and varied food options such as omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidant rich foods and lean protein. This plan is devoid of processed foods which can contain large quantities of sodium.

GLP – 1 Diabetes
25% carbs, 35% protein & 25% fat
Calorie Ranges 1200, 1400, 1600, 1800, 2000 and 2200
Creator: Suzanne Fisher, LD RD

The Diabetes meal plan was developed to maintain glycemic control for insulin and non insulin dependent diabetics. Individuals who are showing signs of hyperglycemia or have a family history of diabetes may benefit from following this plan. Key aspects are high fiber, lean protein, whole grains, non-starchy vegetables, and low glycemic index fruit to promote improved blood glucose balance.

GLP – 1 Diabetes and Hypertension
25% carbs, 50% protein & 25% fat
Calorie Ranges 1200, 1400, 1600, 1800, 2000 and 2200
Creator: Suzanne Fisher, LD RD

The Diabetes and Hypertension meal plan was developed to maintain glycemic control and prevent hypertension for insulin and non insulin dependent diabetics. Individuals who are showing signs of hyperglycemia or have a family history of diabetes in addition to hypertension may benefit from following this plan. Key aspects are low sodium, high fiber, lean protein, whole grains, non-starchy vegetables, and low glycemic index fruit to promote improved blood glucose balance and a healthy blood pressure.

GLP – 1 Diabetes and High Cholesterol
30% carbs, 40% protein & 30% fat
Calorie Ranges 1200, 1400, 1600, 1800, 2000 and 2200
