If you’re using Saxenda, Mounjaro, or Ozempic, you’ve taken a great step toward controlling appetite and supporting your weight loss journey. But while these medications can help curb hunger and manage blood sugar, healthy habits are still essential for sustainable results.
Here are five practical tips to maximize your success - safely and effectively, always under your doctor’s guidance.
1. Stick to a Structured Meal Plan
GLP-1 medications can reduce appetite, but skipping meals or eating irregularly may limit your results. A structured meal plan helps:
-
Keep calories in check
-
Ensure proper nutrient intake
-
Prevent overeating during times of higher hunger
Our Herbal Magic meal plans provide personalized allotments of all food groups, making it simple to eat balanced meals that complement your medication.
2. Focus on Protein and Fibre
Protein and fiber are your allies while on Saxenda, Mounjaro, or Ozempic:
-
Protein supports muscle maintenance and keeps you feeling fuller longer
-
Fibre aids digestion, stabilizes blood sugar, and can help reduce cravings
Incorporate lean proteins, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes - all staples in Herbal Magic’s meal plans.
3. Stay Hydrated
Some GLP-1 medications can cause mild dehydration or dry mouth, especially as appetite decreases. Proper hydration:
-
Supports metabolism
-
Reduces fatigue
-
Helps with digestion
Aim for at least 8 cups of water daily and include hydrating foods like cucumbers, tomatoes, and watermelon.
4. Include Gentle Physical Activity
Exercise is not only great for overall health - it also helps maximize weight loss results. Even light activity like walking, stretching, or strength training can:
-
Boost metabolism
-
Preserve lean muscle mass
-
Improve mood and energy
Herbal Magic encourages activity tailored to your level, helping you integrate movement safely alongside your medication.
5. Track Your Progress and Adjust as Needed
Logging meals, water intake, and activity helps identify patterns and keeps you accountable. Your Herbal Magic coach can help:
-
Adjust your meal plan based on your results
-
Offer motivation and tips
-
Ensure you’re meeting nutrient needs safely alongside your medication
Tracking ensures you maximize the benefits of both your GLP-1 medication and your structured nutrition plan.
