On the Willow program, there are no strict dietary restrictions imposed. Our approach focuses on empowering you to cultivate a sustainable and adaptable relationship with food.
Rather than prescribing specific meal plans or calorie counts, we aim to provide guidance to help you make informed choices that align with your health goals. Through personalized support and education, we strive to foster a balanced and enjoyable approach to nutrition that promotes long-term success and well-being.
While there are no foods that are completely off-limits, certain types of foods are recommended to be limited or avoided while taking GLP-1 medication, as they can worsen common side effects such as nausea or indigestion. These include:
High-fat or greasy foods (e.g., fried foods, heavy sauces)
Highly processed or sugary foods (e.g., candy, pastries, soda)
Large portions or very heavy meals
Alcohol, especially on an empty stomach
Choosing smaller, balanced meals rich in lean proteins, fruits, vegetables, and whole grains can help your body adjust more comfortably and support the medication’s effectiveness.
