What Makes This Plan GLP-1 Friendly

This plan emphasizes balanced, low-glycemic meals that support blood sugar stability, satiety, and sustained energy — whether or not you’re using a GLP-1 medication. You’ll see an intentional focus on:

Protein to preserve lean muscle and curb cravings
Fiber from vegetables, fruits, and whole grains for fullness and gut health
Healthy fats like avocado, olive oil, and nuts to slow digestion and support hormone balance
Steady carbohydrates from nutrient-rich sources such as quinoa, brown rice, and sweet potatoes

Simple Prep Tips

Pre-cook proteins like chicken, turkey, or tofu to save time during busy weeknights.
Batch cook grains (quinoa, brown rice, lentils) early in the week for easy mix-and-match meals.
Wash and chop vegetables in advance — store in containers for quick assembly.
Make extra portions of dinners like chili or sheet pan meals for easy lunches the next day.
Keep snacks simple: Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, nuts, or a small shake work perfectly to bridge hunger.
