Diet While Taking Wegovy

Updated

Hello. My Dr. prescribed Wegovy today. I have not started it yet as I'm still waiting on insurance approval. I was wondering if anyone's Dr. told them a specific diet plan to follow? I have been eating extremely low carb for almost 2 years with some success in weight loss but not consistent. While talking to my Dr. she said to keep following that low carb diet. However, that doesn't make much sense to me knowing that she wants me to work out daily. I feel I need more substance than 50 carbs a day to be able to work out. Am I wrong? Even when I asked about adding back healthy carbs such as beans potatoes etc she advised against it. Anyone have their own experiences in this department?

It is always best to follow your doctor's instructions, and keep her updated, so you can discuss it, and adjust your carb intake, if necessary.

Wegovy Information

The FDA warns that this medication may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, abdominal pain, and constipation.

How much fuel you need will also vary depending on the intensity of your workout, so if you are starting slow, you won't need as much as when you start to ramp things up.

Are you on any other medications?

My doctor advised 20g of protein at every meal so (a) I feel full and (b) I don’t lose muscle mass while losing weight. It was hard at first because when you are first adjusting to each dose you I barely wanted to eat. I bought a cheap nutribullet blender and protein meal replacement powder to make sure I could get the protein if I couldn’t eat (usually evening meal). Keep track of your adjustment and don’t increase your dose until you feel like your GI has adjusted. It has been an amazing benefit for me but I could barely make myself eat when I first started. You have to concentrate on protein and nutrition pretty hard if you can’t eat much.

I've completed 9 weeks of Wegovy shots. Since starting, my appetite has depleted. I have to force myself to eat something so that I don't pass out. I don't seem to like any foods no matter what I try. When we go out to eat, a kid's meal is too much food. I'm done after 3 bites. Has anyone felt this way??
