Frequently Asked Questions

What macronutrient ratio works best with Wegovy?

A 35–40% protein, 30–35% fat, 25–30% carbohydrate ratio optimizes satiety and muscle preservation. High protein reduces ghrelin rebound and supports metabolic recovery post-weight loss.

Can I eat normal portion sizes on Wegovy?

No. Wegovy reduces functional stomach capacity by 30–40%. Our recipes emphasize nutrient density per ounce, delivering complete nutrition in smaller volumes that feel satisfying.

Which foods trigger nausea most commonly?

High-fat fried foods, heavy red meat, spicy dishes, and carbonated beverages are frequent culprits. Our recipes favor lean proteins, cooked vegetables, and gentle spices.

How often should I eat on Wegovy?

Most patients thrive on 2–3 meals daily with 1 optional snack. Appetite suppression may eliminate breakfast or midday hunger—listen to hunger cues rather than forcing meals.
