Everyday Health: On A GLP-1? These Cookbooks Can Make or Break Your Nutrition
Taking a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonist might seem like a low-effort way to manage health conditions and lose weight, but without adequate nutrition and lifestyle shifts, it can lead to significant muscle and bone loss, nutritional deficiencies, and the worsening of side effects like nausea.
Managing nutrition while on these medications means not only understanding your new nutritional needs but also finding support systems to meet those needs consistently. Dietitian and GLP-1 specialist Gretchen Zimmermann, RD, CDCES, recommends turning to a time-honored source for preparing food: cookbooks.
