“What should I eat when on weight loss medication?”
One of the best dietary patterns I recommend? 🫒 The Mediterranean Diet
What is the Mediterranean Diet?
Inspired by traditional eating patterns in countries like Greece and Italy, this diet focuses on:
🥗 Vegetables & fruits (high fiber = helps fullness!)
🌾 Whole grains (oats, quinoa, brown rice)
🫘 Legumes (beans, lentils, chickpeas)
🐟 Lean proteins (especially fish like salmon & sardines)
🫒 Healthy fats (olive oil, nuts, seeds)
🧀 Moderate dairy
🍰 Minimal processed foods & added sugars
💡 Why it works well:
• Easier on the stomach (helps reduce nausea)
• High fiber keeps you fuller longer
• Balanced protein supports muscle retention
• Heart-healthy benefits ❤️
• Sustainable long term (not a crash diet!)
🚫 What to limit:
• Greasy/fried foods (can worsen nausea)
• Large portions
• Sugary drinks
• Highly processed snacks
Remember: medication is a tool ……. nutrition is the foundation long term!!
Save this post for later & share with someone starting their weight loss journey! 💚
