GLP-1 Phase 1 Nausea Window Meal Plan
This meal plan is specifically designed for the initial days following a GLP-1 injection, often referred to as the nausea window. It focuses on easy-to-digest, protein-forward, and hydrating foods to minimize digestive discomfort while ensuring adequate protein intake. By utilizing chilled proteins, liquids, and warm bone broth, this menu supports your metabolism and satiety without overwhelming your system.
Ingredients
- 1 scoop Whey Isolate or Collagen protein
- 8 oz Unsweetened almond milk
- 16 oz Water
- 1 scoop Electrolyte powder
- 4 oz Low-fat cottage cheese
- Sea salt to taste
- 1 cup Low-sodium bone broth
- 3 oz Cooked shrimp (chilled)
- ΒΌ Avocado
Instructions
- Blend one scoop of protein powder with eight ounces of almond milk for a breakfast smoothie.
- Mix electrolyte powder into sixteen ounces of water and drink mid-morning.
- Serve four ounces of chilled cottage cheese seasoned with a light dusting of sea salt for lunch.
- Warm one cup of bone broth and sip slowly in the afternoon.
- Serve three ounces of chilled cooked shrimp with a side of avocado for dinner.
Notes
Ensure all proteins are kept cold to improve palatability during periods of nausea. If whey isolate feels heavy, swap for collagen peptides. Maintain slow eating speeds to respect the medication's effect on gastric emptying.
