OrderlyMeds has released a guide on nutrition during GLP-1 therapy. The resource includes a 7-day meal plan with recipes to help guide food choices during medical weight loss programs.
-- OrderlyMeds has released a daily wellness guide and downloadable meal plan for patients on a medical weight loss program. Both resources were developed by Kristin Kirkpatrick, MS, RDN, and designed to provide individuals currently taking GLP-1 medications with the appropriate nutrition during their treatment.

GLP-1 medications were traditionally used for blood sugar management in type 2 diabetes, but the FDA has now approved certain brands for use in medical weight loss. As explained by the Cleveland Clinic, these drugs work by reducing hunger and delaying the emptying of the stomach, in addition to stimulating the pancreas to produce insulin and suppress the release of glucagon; this results in an overall reduction in appetite, which can help reduce weight.
However, OrderlyMeds says that because of the effect these medications have, individuals on GLP-1 therapy will eat less than their usual amount and have fewer opportunities to provide their body with the nutrients it requires. For this reason, the company has developed a guide specifically for patients on the medications, with meal plans that focus on achieving critical targets for protein, fiber, and hydration while managing appetite changes and other challenges related to medication.
The 7-day meal plan contains easy-to-make meal ideas for a balanced breakfast, lunch, and dinner and includes detailed recipes and grocery lists to help readers with preparation. While the guide prioritizes lean proteins, healthy fats, and complex carbs from a variety of sources, it also offers vegetarian options to suit individuals with dietary restrictions or those who prefer a purely plant-based diet.
Additionally, the meal plan includes a list of dietitian-approved snacks that are rich in proteins and low in sugar, which are effective at satisfying cravings and maintaining energy and satiety throughout the day.
The meal plan also includes daily “wellness intentions” that can serve as wellness goals for participants each day. These intentions are intended to help foster meaningful habits that support long-term weight management and focus on specific health aspects, such as gut health, physical activity, electrolytes, and more.
