Started watching your content 3 weeks ago when I started on compound semaglutide. I am a nurse and I appreciate the knowledge that you share for doing the right things to be successful while on the weight loss meds. They have been eye opening and life saving .Thank you so much for all that you are doing to help and educate people on their weight loss journey. Love and blesdings🙌🙏💛💛💛💛💛💛💛.
Thank you! Great video, especially because you point out that some generally healthy products may cause side effects - but not for everyone. Usually the recommendations regarding food are just black and white.
Thank you so much for the info and explanations. I’m glad that you spoke about peppers, I watched a video from another Dr who said that peppers were considered a night shade veggie and to avoid them especially when on glp1. I had stopped eating them for a while because my weight loss has slowed on Ozempic and he left me with the impression that all night shade veggies should be avoided but man I love peppers and have had difficulty finding something to replace them so that I can have a better variety of veggies in my diet. So I’m going out to buy some tomorrow. 😊 Appreciate all the info that you share, my dr is good with writing the script for Ozempic but provides no other support - so I’m on my own but down 83 lbs so I am doing something right! Thanks again!
nightshades like peppers, chilli, eggplants, tomatoes, potatoes and sweet potatoes MAY cause digestion problems in some people. If you have problems like heartburn, sulfur burps, cramps, diarrhea after eating nightshades and this happens repeatedly then you better not eat them. Same is true for the cauliflower, brokkoli, romanesco, cabbage … as well as peas, lentils and beans: if you notice that they cause you flatulence, sulfur burps or other digestive problems, you better not eat them while on glp-1 agonists. In the end, each of us has to find out which food is good for us individually and what to avoid.
We start every morning with overnight chai oats with yogurt berries and some granola sprinkled in. It feels like a great start to the day. It’s a little high in carbs and natural sugars but eating it in the morning we have plenty of time to work it off. I find when I start my day with this come lunch time I’m really not hungry so I will have a protein shake. I’m on week 2 of ozempic and although my official scale check is tomorrow I’m down about 4 lbs.
Oooo new content. Just in time as I'm on my very first dose of Zepbound. My body is adjusting to this medication...along with the Diarrhea side effect :(
I appreciate you find value in them! Trust me its definitely not my comfort zone talking to a camera in a grocery store but I had to do it since I got so many email requests! Thankfully it was a good time and even met some cool people who asked me some questions in the store!!
Great advice! I usually go to Costco food is too expensive. I had made meal prep this week Chili with sweet potato, and Spanish for fiber. All fresh ingredients is key. Blessings 💜
@@deniseshorten9443 I actually do not. Trust me you don’t want to eat something I bake. I was merely suggesting to the previous commentor if you do not like the quality of the bread available and still want it you can certainly make your own.
Great video! I am on week 11 of my Mounjaro journey and your videos and shorts have been extremely helpful in steering me to better choices. We have similar issues of needing to shop several places to get our complete grocery list here in CT as the chain stores really don't have the freshest at times.
@kishwoodward756 haven't found one yet. Tried chicken pea pasta. Nobody liked it at all. Best option for me is a whole grain l, light brown color. Somewhat nutty taste and slightly chewy, giving it the Al dente texture I prefer. Lower on the glycemic scale, so spikes BG less That said, it is as caloric as most all pasta products. That's why I only cook a small amount about once a month, with a pesto & dry parmesan topping or classic red sauce made of grass-fed, no antibiotic ground beef and herbs.
@@kishwoodward756 Barilla's Protein+ pasta is delicious. The texture is like a cross between regular and whole grain pasta and the tastes very similar to regular pasta. I had tried Banza chickpea pasta and hated the taste and texture.
EXCELLENT video. So educational as im just starting to take ozempic and i want food advice. Vegies can make me feel uncomfortable and gassy. Lactose is a problem. Fresh food . Good quality meat. New Subscriber from South Africa.
Hello!!! Look for alternate forms of fiber and add micronutrient supplements to your daily routine. Consume at least 2g protein per Kg body weight on a daily basis. If you need a consult feel free to reach out to and set up a consult. 👍🏾✊🏾 good luck!
@@nalaamourI'm confused. I shouldn't have made this video and No one in the world should see this video because you have poor dentition and I am not a dentist?
Bulgur wheat is a great option as well! Relatively Low carb and a decent protein source packed with micronutrients. Being a WHOLE grain it has the added benefits of being high in fiber, cholesterol lowering, controls glucose, and heart healthy! I do have to confess, I am not a fan of bulgur week. 🤦🏾♂️

Can I ask you this concern that I have? Well, I started today with Tirzepatide, and I was taking various supplements like Berberine with ceylon cinnamon 1200mg and for the night one supplement that contains this 2: L-arginine HCI with L-lysine HCI. Is it okay for me to continue taking them, or should I stop both or one of the two? Also, I am doing 16 hours fasting. Should I adjust? Thank you so much in advance

I appreciate this video very much. I am on 1.0 mg semaglutide right now and I have no appetite. I've been living on Greek yogurt and protein shakes while trying to figure out what's best to eat in order to meet protein goals and to eat enough calories. I want to make sure I don't get any nutrient deficiencies while losing weight.
Not every time but it does cost a little more to eat whole foods which are much better for us. I find prices are better at farmer's markets if you have one near by especially if you can form relationships with the owners of the spots you frequent.
@@ShowsNReviewsTuneIn I love it! You have found a solution where many will only see the problem and moan. Most us fail to recognize impatience is often barrier to reaching our goals.

Amazing how much money I save on groceries now that I'm on Zepbound.

What about celery, and is peanut butter ok?

What’s your take on air fryers to fry things instead of using oil?
@@shairacorona3670 air fryers to me have been an amazing innovation for those who like crunchy food without adding extra fat to the mix. Use it!

Very informative! Thank you!
I don't eat any bread. I can't the way it affects me isn't good. I get inflammation from any "bread". I honestly don't miss it.
Makes sense for you if it makes you feel bad you should stop.
Most of today's bread is garbage and has been so for a long time.
@@mrofnocnon make your own.
@@GoodDrG do you have a good recipe to share for "bread"?
@@deniseshorten9443 I actually do not. Trust me you don’t want to eat something I bake. I was merely suggesting to the previous commentor if you do not like the quality of the bread available and still want it you can certainly make your own.
Ezekiel bread is a great choice. Its in the frozen section. Its pricey about $7 but 1 lasts me 2 months.

I like getting protein pastas instead of regular pastas now that that is an option in most grocery stores

Can you recommend a protein pasta brand you like?

I feel the same way about the three pepper packages. I want to choose my OWN red/orange/yellow pepper assortment, thankyouverymuch. 😂

Welcome to the channel! I address just about everything in the “11 Things to Avoid” video including stomach upset. Take a look around!
Isn't rice high in carbs and what are you cooking w black beans
Pretty much anything I feel like eating. I have lunches with skirt steak, black beans, and sautéed veggies for instance.

Wut 😮 i have type 2 diabetes and i didn’t know about nightshade veggies 🥕
So no meat or did I miss it
@@avillan610 😞😞😞 you didn’t watch to the end. It’s all good. Didnt pick up meat at the grocery store. I prefer a butcher.
Is yogurtland mango flavor ok every once in a while
Hey! I’m not familiar with the product. I suggest checking the label.
Plastic packaging acts like a Instagram filter. Everything looks shiny and perfect.
Never thought of that. Then again it’s my first and very likely only time filming in a grocery store!!!
Can a diabetic eat banana?
The short answer is yes. Pick less ripe (greener) Bananana and monitor your response by checking your glucose levels.
