Nutrition Plans

Why is nutrition an essential aspect of weight loss?

When you lose weight, you consume less food, so it's essential to ensure you still take in all the nutrients you need for good health. Your food choices also play a fundamental role in how effectively you lose weight and how good you feel during treatment.

An evidence-based nutrition plan contains all the nutrients you need while also helping you adopt healthier eating long-term. The MetFit-Rx team pairs medication with customized nutrition plans so you can build sustainable habits, support your metabolism, and maintain your results long-term.

What is a high-protein diet, and does it work well with GLP-1s?

Protein helps you feel full longer, stabilizes energy levels, and supports muscle maintenance during weight loss. A high-protein plan focuses on lean protein sources, such as:

• Poultry

• Fish

• Eggs

• Tofu

• Greek yogurt

• Legumes

GLP-1 medications naturally reduce appetite, so getting enough protein becomes especially important to ensure you're nourishing your body even when you eat less.

Can I follow a ketogenic (keto) diet while on GLP-1 medication?

Some patients do well with the keto diet, but it depends on their health profile. Keto is a very low-carb, high-fat approach that encourages your body to burn fat for fuel.

Some people see strong early results, but others may struggle with fatigue or digestive changes. MetFit-Rx only recommends keto when it's safe for you, and they closely monitor your progress to ensure you're meeting your nutrient needs.

Why do weight loss experts recommend the Mediterranean diet?

The Mediterranean diet is one of the most well-researched and heart-healthy nutrition patterns. It emphasizes:

• Vegetables

• Fruits

• Whole grains

• Lean proteins

• Nuts

• Olive oil

It's easy to follow, anti-inflammatory, and works perfectly alongside GLP-1s by supporting digestion, stabilizing blood sugar, and promoting long-term weight maintenance.

What is a low-glycemic diet, and how can it help?

A low-glycemic nutrition plan focuses on foods that don't spike your blood sugar, including:

• Whole grains

• Beans

• Berries

• Leafy greens

• Minimally processed carbs

This approach pairs especially well with GLP-1s because it helps keep hunger steady and energy levels even throughout the day.

To help you choose the right plan, your provider analyzes your medical history, eating habits, and goals, then guides you toward the plan that best supports your GLP-1 therapy.
