Intro: It might sound simple, but hydration is one of the most overlooked parts of a successful GLP-1’s journey. Because medications like Semaglutide and Tirzepatide slow digestion and sometimes blunt thirst cues, many people accidentally end up drinking less water than their body needs—leading to constipation, fatigue, and headaches.
When you first begin GLP-1s treatment, with medications like Semaglutide or Tirzepatide, it’s normal to experience a few digestive changes—after all, these medications work by slowing how quickly your stomach empties. But certain foods can make those effects feel much stronger, leading to nausea, bloating, or discomfort.
One of the biggest surprises for many people starting GLP-1s medications like Semaglutide or Tirzepatide is how different eating feels. Suddenly, your appetite is smaller, your meals are lighter, and you might even forget to eat at times. While that can sound like a win, it also means your body may not always get the nutrition or steady energy it needs throughout the day. That’s where smart snacking comes in.
