13. Tropical Fruits High in Sugar
Fruits like pineapple, mango, and ripe bananas are high in natural sugars, which can spike blood glucose levels. While these fruits are nutrient-rich, overconsumption can counteract the glycemic benefits of GLP-1 medications. Some individuals may also experience mild digestive discomfort due to rapid fermentation of sugars in the gut.
What to Take Instead Low-sugar fruits such as berries, apples, and pears provide antioxidants, fiber, and vitamins without overwhelming blood sugar. Pairing with protein or healthy fats helps improve satiety and digestive comfort.
