🥗 What to Eat on Mounjaro (Tirzepatide) for Better Weight Loss Results

🥦 The Mounjaro-Friendly Diet: What to Focus On

✅ 1. Protein First at Every Meal

Eating protein first helps reduce nausea and keeps you fuller, longer — key when you’re eating less.

• Great options: eggs, lean chicken, Greek yogurt, tofu, salmon, tempeh
• Aim for 15–30g per meal
• Protein slows digestion, stabilizes blood sugar, and supports muscle mass retention

🔬 Studies show GLP-1 meds work best when combined with protein-forward diets.

✅ 2. Non-Starchy Vegetables (Fiber is Your Friend)

Fiber supports digestion and helps prevent constipation, which can be a side effect of Mounjaro.

• Great options: spinach, bell peppers, zucchini, broccoli, cauliflower, snap peas
• Eat at least 2 servings per meal
• Steam, sauté, or roast with olive oil for healthy fat support

💡 The more color on your plate, the more nutrients you're likely getting.

✅ 3. Slow-Digesting Carbohydrates

Skip the quick sugars and refined carbs. Choose low-glycemic carbs that won’t spike blood sugar.

• Best options: sweet potatoes, quinoa, oats, chickpeas, black beans
• Watch your portions — your appetite may be smaller on Mounjaro
• Pair carbs with fiber and protein to stay full longer

✅ 4. Healthy Fats in Moderation

Fats help with satiety and nutrient absorption but should be balanced carefully.

• Go-to fats: avocado, olive oil, nuts, seeds, chia, flax
• Avoid fried foods and heavy cream sauces
• Aim for a thumb-size portion per meal

❌ Foods to Avoid While on Mounjaro

🚫 1. High-Fat, Greasy Meals

These can trigger nausea, bloating, or diarrhea — especially early in treatment.
Examples: fried fast food, fatty cuts of red meat, creamy sauces

🚫 2. Sugary Snacks & Beverages

Sugar undermines your progress and can interfere with blood sugar control.
Watch out for: soda, juice, candy, pastries, sweetened yogurts, and cereals

🚫 3. Alcohol (Use Caution)

Alcohol can increase your risk of low blood sugar (especially if you’re diabetic) and worsen GI side effects.
Limit or avoid completely, especially in the first few months.
