Frequently Asked Questions
How many vegetables should I eat daily while on Wegovy?▾
Aim for 7-9 servings (1 cup per serving) of mostly non-starchy vegetables. On Wegovy, this volume satisfies without overeating—our recipes make hitting this target delicious and effortless.
Do raw or cooked vegetables work better on Wegovy?▾
Both. Raw vegetables provide enzymes; cooked are gentler on a Wegovy-slowed stomach. We provide both options—rotate them based on your tolerance and hunger cues.
What if vegetables cause bloating on Wegovy?▾
Cook vegetables thoroughly, introduce them gradually, and prioritize low-FODMAP options (zucchini, spinach, carrots) initially. Our gentle recipes prevent bloating while supporting nutrition.
Can vegetable sides replace whole meals on Wegovy?▾
No—vegetables lack adequate protein and fat for satiety. Pair them with 25-35g protein and healthy fat; our recipes show exact combinations for balanced, satisfying plates.
