4. Acidic Foods
Highly acidic foods, such as citrus fruits, tomatoes, vinegar-based dressings, or pickled products, can irritate the gastrointestinal tract when combined with GLP-1 medications. Some users may experience increased heartburn, bloating, or nausea after consuming these foods. Acidic meals may also slow digestion, causing discomfort and discouraging the consumption of nutrient-dense foods needed for balanced nutrition.
What to Take Instead Choose lower-acid fruits and vegetables, such as berries, melons, cucumbers, and leafy greens. Gentle cooking methods like steaming or roasting can further reduce acidity while preserving nutrients. Pairing these foods with a protein source, such as lean chicken or tofu, can aid digestion and support satiety. Small adjustments like this help users comfortably maintain a balanced, GLP-1-supportive diet.
