Novo Nordisk, the maker of Ozempic and Wegovy, recommends not eating "fried" or "greasy" foods to avoid some of the drugs' most common side effects.
"High roughage" means that there's a lot of fiber in something—and fiber takes a long time for the body to digest.
Refined carbs and added sugars are also best avoided while taking weight loss drugs.
Because of the slowed gastric emptying on Ozempic, foods that cause bloating could impact you for longer than usual.
Many people find that weight loss drugs curb their cravings for booze and other stimulants, making it easier to cut back on their alcohol consumption.
Spicy foods are a crowd favorite—but beware before diving into a full plate of it.
"Long-term ingestion of a high-salt diet is also associated with obesity, insulin resistance, and metabolic syndrome through unknown mechanisms," the researchers write.
