Some general diet and lifestyle changes that might be suggested include:
Balanced Diet:
Focusing on a diet rich in whole foods and low in refined sugars and processed foods is important for managing blood sugar and glucose fluctuations. Food Color Counts: Fuel up and manage this disease with a variety of colorful, nutrient-dense foods. Enjoy a rainbow of fruits and veggies, including dark leafy greens, blueberries, oranges, and tomatoes, which are rich in vitamins, fiber, and minerals. Pair with whole grains and protein, like brown rice with salmon, for a nutritional boost! Carbohydrate Awareness: Being aware of carbohydrate intake can help to
manage post-meal blood sugar spikes. This doesn't mean avoiding carbohydrates entirely but rather choosing complex carbs and being mindful of portion sizes.
Regular Physical Activity:
Exercise helps improve insulin sensitivity and can also contribute to weight loss. For overall health, adults need at least 150 minutes a week
of moderate-intensity aerobic activity. This could be brisk walking 22 minutes a day, 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week, or what works for your schedule. Alternatively, you could do 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity aerobic activity each week, such as swimming laps. Or you could do an equivalent combination of moderate- and vigorous-intensity aerobic activity each week. Adults also need at least 2 days a week of muscle-strengthening activity. (CDC)
Limit Alcohol:
Some GLP-1 medications may increase the risk of pancreatitis. Alcohol is also a known risk factor for pancreatitis, so avoiding or limiting alcohol
consumption can be a wise precaution.
Stay Hydrated:
Some GLP-1 medications can lead to dehydration, especially in the beginning. Drinking adequate water and monitoring for signs of dehydration can be important.
Limiting Fatty Foods:
Some people experience gastrointestinal side effects when they consume large amounts of fatty foods while on GLP-1 medications. It might be
helpful to limit the intake of such foods. The information available through this portal provides general information about
potential lifestyle changes for participants taking GLP-1 medications and is basedon input from affiliated licensed clinicians. It is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always consult your healthcare provider for personalized guidance regarding your health.
