• Gradual Dose Escalation: Start with a lower dose of your injectable or oral GLP-1 medication and gradually increase to the maintenance dose, allowing your body to adjust comfortably.

• Dietary Adjustments: Avoid high-fat, spicy, or overly sweet foods that can worsen side effects. Focus on smaller, balanced meals rich in protein, fiber, and whole grains, and stay well-hydrated.

• Symptom Management: For persistent nausea, antiemetic medications such as domperidone may be recommended. Constipation can often be managed with increased hydration, dietary fiber, and physical activity. In some cases, stool softeners may be advised.

• Monitoring and Adjustment: Regular follow-ups with your healthcare provider are essential. If side effects continue or intensify, dose adjustments or alternative treatments may be considered.

Understanding Your Body’s Hunger Signals

Recognizing natural hunger cues is important for distinguishing between potential side effects of injectable or oral GLP-1 medications and genuine nutritional needs. These medications often reduce appetite, which can lead to unintentionally skipping meals. Signs such as headache, lightheadedness, or mild nausea that resolve after eating are likely due to hunger rather than medication effects.
