Some foods that can help you increase your intake of healthy fats include: Grass-fed butter or ghee: rich in fat-soluble vitamins and conjugated linoleic acid Coconut oil: contains medium-chain triglycerides, which are believed to potentially enhance metabolic function Coconut milk: an alternative to dairy along with providing beneficial fats Avocado oil: higher in monounsaturated fats and can be used for cooking at higher temperatures Flaxseed: contain omega-3 fatty acids and lignans, which may potentially aid weight management Fruits: Selecting Lower Glycemic Options While fruits contain natural sugars, certain varieties offer lower glycemic impact and high nutrient density, making them suitable to include in a diet when taking Ozempic (semaglutide), Wegovy (semaglutide), or compounded semaglutide: Avocados: full of health fats along with fiber Blueberries: have a lower glycemic index but are high in antioxidants Tart cherries: may possibly provide anti-inflammatory benefits along with supporting sleep quality Structured Meal Planning When designing meals and considering what to eat when taking Ozempic (semaglutide), Wegovy (semaglutide), or compounded semaglutide, aim for a balance of proteins, healthy fats, and fiber-rich vegetables
For some, previously tempting treats may suddenly feel too rich, heavy or even unpleasant
Managing side effects through diet Nearly every semaglutide user experiences some gastrointestinal side effects, particularly in the first two to four weeks and after dose increases
Switching should be medically supervised and based on clinical need
The result: you feel full faster, eat less, and lose weight more effectively
