  1. Goodness I can hardly eat anything, good or bad lol. I’m down to 135 pounds, scared to death to go off Ozempic, for fear of gaining all my weight back. I have had days I was so dehydrated I’d take liquid IV & try hard to pay more attention to my water intake. I can’t do breakfast at all, I try to eat something around 1 or 2:00, it’s usually 2 eggs & toast or the Coconut Cult yogurt. Sometimes that’ll be my only meal.

  2. Great information on healthy eating. Started Ozempic today. Thanks for all the key points! Your video was just what I needed to get off on the right track. Thanks again!

  3. This is good info, but the main reason i am on Ozempic is for my diabetes. I see so many videos regarding weight lose and not nearly as much info for those of us who's primary concern is diabetes.

  4. I like VERY FEW of these foods.

    I like eggs

    Carrots

    Sweet potatoes

    Lamb

    Turkey

    Lean beef.

    Lemons

    Oranges

    I'm SKREWED.

    The only legumes I like are Bush's baked beans. With brown sugar and pork.

    Greek yogurt tastes like s***. I tried, it was awful.

    Not only are berries too sour, but they make me sick.

    Not only do green vegetables taste awful although I loved them when I was a kid, but they make me sick. I used to just get nasty diarrhea. Now I throw up too. I find salmon rather boring in sardines scare the crap out of me. This is awful news. In short the only way I can lose weight is to eat crap I don't like. Talk about sucking all the joy out of your life.

  5. The best way to have Greek yogurt is put in a little packet of ranch powder mix it in and you have gotten the most delicious sour cream taste ever you get some low-calorie tortilla chips and mix it in there and I’m telling you it’s definitely a great snack.

  6. I started Semaglutide today.
    I'll forego all my details – just say : I'm 85 yrs young! I finally hit the bottom with all diiets, etc.
    Do you honestly feel I can change what year(s) I have left to reasonably healthy and happy ones.
    I've spent my last 35 years trrying to get through to negative and welling meaning professional people that: if genuine hunger isn't addressed with long-term solutions you will fail!!
    ❤Thankyou for being here. I'm looking forward to try to catch up on youtr vidios❤ my new friend.
    God Bless.

  7. Thank you, I am on Ozempic and struggle with food. I know I don’t eat enough. I am at 15lbs and I have been on it for more than a year and a half. This is very helpful… so hoping this change will help me

  8. Thank you so much. I just started Zepbound a few days ago. I'm have prioritized protein because I already heard it was important. The numbers are intimidating, though…I'm just not hungry enough to eat 130 grams (or more) of protein. I've been getting in between 80 and 90 grams, approximately, per day. I'm also eating Greek yogurt, berries, cooked veggies and avo. I haven't yet added oats or beans but will definitely do so. I've been taking bone broth in protein powders but I will get some to sip as well as lentil soup. I was married to an Indian man from Punjab at one time and he made the best lentil soup I ever tasted, so the bar is high. lol. I truly appreciate all this good information and would love to hear more. I have a lot, lot of weight to lose and have severe arthritis in my hips so any movement for me is excrutiatingly painful. I'm hoping and praying that I can lose a lot of weight and regain my mobility and my active life.

  9. PEOPLE ARE ON GPL-1, INCLUDING MY SELF ARE LOSING THEIR EYE SIGHT, EVEN GOING BLIND, I NOW HAVE STOPPED MY $700 OZEMPIC INJECTIONS WORKING WITH MY ENDOCRINOLOGIST SINCE THIS STARTED HAPPENING. THERE IS A CLASS ACTION SUITE OF PATIENTS OVER 600, PLEASE DO YOUR RESEARCH, I DONT KNOW IF I WILL REGAIN THE EYE SIGHT IVE LOST ON OZEMPIC, SOME HAVE GONE COMPLETELY BLIND. I DID THE HIGH PROTEIN STILL HAD MUCIL WEEKNESS, ABDOMINAL PAIN, DIAREAH, OR CONSTIPATION, I DEALT WITH IT BUT LOOSING MY EYE SIGHT THAT WAS THE GAME CHANGER!

  10. Thanks for this information. I’m just getting started on trizepatide. What about beef – particularly locally grown grass fed corn finished beef? Maybe a steak once a week?

  11. Thank you, Dr. I enjoyed watching your video. I have just started Zepbound and need some help. I do not cook and want to ask if any of these Home delivery all inclusive meals would be an option.. I think this would be the only way that I could get a balanced meal. If so, do you have a preference of which brand to choose?
    Thank you, kindly, JanO

  12. I'm about to start a GLP-1 med. This was very helpful. However I noticed very limited fruits besides berries. I love watermelon and apples, are they not good with these meds?

  13. Worse mistake I've ever made. I lost the weight but now aches and pain on my back, hair loss, lost muscle mass. If your thinking about using O or GLP-1 shot don't do it!!! The companies are making so much 💰 money.

  14. Unfortunately , for those of us who are suffering from GI issues due to these medications- specifically sulphur burps. many of the foods on this list are simply not an option because they are high in Sulphur (eggs) or when broken down turn into Sulphur, like dairy products (yogurt) and many of the vegetables that were made reference to or pictured in this video (broccoli, cauliflower. asparagus).
    Furthermore it's possible that if you eat too many of the foods I mentioned, you may risk developing GI issues like nausea, diarrhea, freakishly felrequent flatulence or the deadly dreaded Darth Sulphur burps. Drugs in the GLP/GIP/Glucagon Agonist (Retatrutide) all function mechanistically by slowing down the digestion of your food. Hence it sits longer in your gut, rotting and creating excess hydrogen sulfide gas. Sulphur-rich foods feed that fire and can exacerbate your GI issues so use selective discretion when choosing foods off of this list. Most of them are excellent choices nutrient-wise and for other ancillary benefits, but those on the list which are high in Sulphur content need to be eaten with moderate discretion.

  15. Hello doctor Khalid, new follower here I Love your videos they are ver informative and helpful. I started compounded tirzepatide 6 weeks ago so far I have lost 18 lbs. I wanted to ask you is it ok to have sugar free creamer and splenda in my coffee ? I really hate drinking black coffee by itself.
