Minimizing Side Effects During Medical Weight Loss
Vancouver, WA Semaglutide Weight Loss
Foods that Can Worsen Side Effects:
- High-Fat Foods: These can slow down digestion and may worsen gastrointestinal side effects such as nausea, diarrhea, or constipation.
- Fried Foods: Fried foods are typically high in fat and can aggravate digestive issues (heartburn, reflux, indigestion).
- High-Sugar Food and Drink: Consuming high-sugar items can affect blood sugar levels.
- Processed Foods: Frequently contain additives and preservatives, such as emulsifiers, artificial sweeteners, and antimicrobial agents. The consumption of processed foods can negatively impact gut bacteria by reducing microbial diversity, promoting the growth of harmful bacteria, and compromising gut barrier function.
*By avoiding larger, heavier meals that are high in fat and sugar, you can help minimize gastrointestinal discomfort and other side effects during medical weight loss. Opting for lighter, smaller meals that are easier to digest can contribute to overall well-being and support the weight loss journey.
