A doctor from Yale School of Medicine said that while taking Ozempic (semaglutide), you should limit fatty foods, coffee and alcohol, and avoid protein deficiency, which can cause rapid muscle loss. This was reported by health day.
Ozempic (semaglutide) belongs to a new generation of drugs for type 2 diabetes and obesity that mimic the GLP-1 hormone. It is produced naturally in the intestines during food intake, and in response, the brain suppresses appetite. Some people experience no side effects while taking Ozempic, and for most people the side effects will be temporary. Following certain rules can reduce the risk of unpleasant reactions.
When people lose weight on Ozempic, they also lose muscle mass, which increases the risk of many diseases in the long run. To prevent this, patients need to do strength training at least twice a week. They should also focus on eating high-protein foods rather than high-fat foods. Therefore, it is useful to add more beans, nuts and seafood to your diet and exclude french fries, chips and other fatty foods.
Both coffee and alcohol can cause severe heartburn because the drug causes food to stay in the stomach longer. If you are not feeling well, you should limit coffee to two cups a day. You should also not eat large portions due to slow digestion: they can cause nausea, bloating or heaviness in the stomach.
Because people taking Ozempic experience loss of appetite and eat less overall, it is important that they eat foods that contain many nutrients. Choose starchy vegetables (like sweet potatoes, corn, or peas) and whole grains (whole-grain bread, brown rice, and whole-grain pasta) over refined carbohydrates (desserts, baked goods). The latter is high in calories but rich in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, etc. It is relatively low in health-promoting nutrients such as. Fruits, vegetables, beans, nuts and seeds also add nutritional value to the diet.
