Instructions for Optimizing Your Weight Loss Journey
Support Metabolism + Minimize Side Effects
✅ DO:
- Eat small, protein-rich meals to prevent nausea
- Chew food slowly and stop eating when full — your appetite may change quickly
- Include high-fiber foods (chia seeds, broccoli, apples, lentils) to stay regular
- Stay hydrated — dehydration can worsen fatigue and constipation
🚫 AVOID:
- Greasy, spicy, or heavy meals — they may trigger nausea
- Skipping meals — this can lead to low blood sugar or fatigue
- Alcohol, especially on injection days — it can lower blood pressure and dehydrate you
- Overeating “just because you can” — you won’t feel hunger cues the same
🌟 Lifestyle Support for Best Results
Nutrition Tips:
- Meal prep to avoid impulsive choices
- Mindful eating: focus on food texture, flavor, and fullness
- Prioritize nutrient-dense foods (whole, colorful, balanced plates)
- Limit sugary snacks and ultra-processed carbs
- Your provider will give you more information about specific meal plans
Exercise Tips:
- Strength training 2–3x/week to support muscle retention
- Cardio or walking most days to boost fat metabolism
- Listen to your body — some fatigue is normal initially
Wellness Habits:
- Sleep 7–8 hours nightly for metabolic regulation
- Manage stress (meditation, journaling, therapy)
- Consider professional support: health coaching, nutritionist, therapist
🚨 When to Contact Your Provider
- Severe nausea, vomiting, or dehydration
- Dizziness, lightheadedness, or signs of low blood sugar
