Dietary recommendations for patients on tirzepatide include: Balanced, calorie-controlled diet : Focus on nutrient-dense whole foods including vegetables, fruits, lean proteins, whole grains, and healthy fats Smaller, more frequent meals : This approach may help manage the gastrointestinal side effects and work synergistically with the medication's effect on satiety Adequate protein intake : Aim for 1.21.6 g per kg of body weight daily to preserve lean muscle mass during weight loss (individualised advice from a dietitian is recommended) Hydration : Maintain good fluid intake, particularly important given potential gastrointestinal side effects Limiting ultra-processed foods : Reduce consumption of foods high in added sugars, saturated fats, and sodium Low-fat meals : Particularly helpful for reducing gastrointestinal symptoms Physical activity guidance includes: Aerobic exercise : Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity activity (brisk walking, cycling, swimming) per week, as recommended by UK Chief Medical Officers Resistance training : Include strength-building exercises 23 times weekly to maintain muscle mass and metabolic rate Gradual progression : Start at a comfortable level and progressively increase intensity and duration Incorporate movement throughout the day : Reduce sedentary time with regular activity breaks Behavioural support is equally important
