What to Eat on Wegovy: A Food Guide

Wegovy (semaglutide) is a GLP-1 medication that lowers appetite, so people usually eat much less while taking it. It is the same active ingredient as Ozempic. Eating well on Wegovy comes down to the same priorities as any GLP-1 medication: enough protein to help protect muscle, enough fiber and fluids for comfortable digestion, and nutrient-dense foods so smaller portions still do the job.

Foods to prioritize on Wegovy

• High-protein foods to prioritize on GLP-1
• Most protein per calorie
• High-protein, high-fiber foods
• High-fiber foods for digestion
• Lean, gentle high-protein foods

Foods many people find harder to tolerate on Wegovy

Very greasy or fried foods, large amounts of added sugar, fizzy drinks, and alcohol are the items people most often report worsening nausea. This is individual, so notice what sits well for you.
