11. High-Salt Processed Foods
Processed snacks, canned meals, and fast foods often contain excessive sodium. High salt intake can contribute to water retention, bloating, and increased blood pressure. GLP-1 medications slow digestion, which can amplify discomfort from salty foods. Over time, high sodium can also contribute to cardiovascular stress, undermining overall health goals while on weight-loss therapy.
What to Take Instead Choose fresh or minimally processed foods with natural sodium content. Herbs, spices, and lemon juice can enhance flavor without adding excess salt. Focus on vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains to create balanced meals.
