Before You Start

1. Hydration First 💧
GLP-1s slow down digestion — so drink at least 2–3 liters of water daily to help reduce bloating, nausea, and constipation. Keep a bottle nearby all day!

2. Start with Light, Balanced Meals 🥗
Go for smaller portions of high-protein, low-fat food. Eat slowly and chew well — your body digests more gently while adjusting.

3. Avoid Alcohol and Heavy, Greasy Meals Early On
These can worsen nausea during your first few weeks. Choose lighter options like broth, fruits, or grilled protein.

4. Move Gently 💪
Light walks or stretching help with energy and digestion. Don’t push hard workouts during your first few days — ease into it.

5. Rotate Injection Sites 🔄
Switch between areas (abdomen, thigh, upper arm) to avoid irritation or swelling. You can use the Injection Rotation Tracker for this.

6. Watch for Body Cues 👂
If you experience dizziness, vomiting, or prolonged nausea, contact your healthcare provider. Most early symptoms improve within 1–2 weeks.

7. Sleep & Recovery 💤
Aim for 7–8 hours of rest. Your body’s adjusting to new hormone signaling — sleep helps regulate appetite and healing.

8. Be Patient & Consistent 🌿
GLP-1s are tools, not magic. Sustainable results come from steady nutrition, movement, hydration, and self-care.
