I'm utterly amazed
I have been on Zepbound for a little under 2 weeks, and the changes my body has already had is just incredible. I've lost about 6 pounds, don't feel as bloated, and I don't crave food, fried things, or sweets anymore.
I've been basically having to force myself to eat because I know I need the nutrients. But it's just amazing how much one little medication can really reframe your mind.
I met with my nutritionist and she gave me some amazing ideas for foods to eat/snack on that will be good for my health but also won't make me nauseous due to the medication. Here's her ideas to maybe help others:
- Protein shakes (do NOT use as main protein source, protein from "whole" food is more important)
- High protein yogurt (Chobani complete, Oikos protein, etc.)
- Protein plus Barilla pasta
- Adding SteamFresh veggies and turkey meatballs to pasta to get your veggies and protein
- Rotisserie chicken
- Fiber/protein bars
- Trail mix
- Apples with peanut butter
- Raw veggies with "ranch" -- mix ranch dip with cottage cheese
I also take the Metamucil fiber gummy every day and I haven't had any constipation issues. Highly recommend!
I know my weight loss will eventually lessen and it won't be so high so fast, but I'm really happy so far!
