Frequently Asked Questions

Can I eat regular food while on Wegovy, or do I need special recipes?

You can eat regular food, but strategically-designed recipes enhance Wegovy's effectiveness by optimizing protein intake, meal timing, and portion control—reducing nausea and maximizing satiety signaling.

What's the ideal macronutrient ratio for Wegovy recipes?

Aim for 35-40% protein, 35-40% healthy fat, and 20-30% carbohydrates from whole grains and non-starchy vegetables. This ratio supports appetite suppression and prevents energy crashes.

How often should I meal prep for optimal Wegovy results?

Weekly prep (Sunday) of 3-4 core proteins and roasted vegetables allows flexible daily combinations. Consistent meal structure reinforces hunger cues that Wegovy is already suppressing.

Are there foods I should avoid while taking Wegovy?

Avoid high-fat, processed foods, excessive caffeine on an empty stomach, and foods that previously triggered reflux. Our recipes exclude these while maintaining palatability and satisfaction.
