Let’s talk about something your doctor might’ve forgotten to mention when prescribing that shiny new GLP-1 drug: fiber.
Yep, if you’re using GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, or Mounjaro or Tirzepatide to crush your weight loss goals, you NEED fiber like Wall Street needs coffee—desperately and daily.
Here’s the deal: GLP-1 drugs slow gastric emptying (aka, how fast food leaves your stomach). Sounds great for staying full longer, right?
Sure... but without enough fiber, you’re basically setting up a traffic jam in your gut. Cue the bloating, constipation, and feeling like you swallowed a brick.
Why Fiber is Your New Best Friend:
- Keeps you regular (because nobody wants to feel backed up while crushing their fitness goals)
- Feeds your gut microbiome (hello better immunity, mood, and energy)
- Stabilizes blood sugar (helping those GLP-1 drugs work even better)
- Supports healthy cholesterol (yes, your heart matters too!)
- Promotes satiety naturally (fuller for longer without that weird sluggishness)
How Much Fiber Should You Eat?
Aim for at least 25–30 grams per day as a female and almost 50 as a male, minimum. Think of it like your daily health insurance policy—easy and essential.
Pro Tip: Not all fiber is created equal. Soluble fiber (like the kind in oats, apples, chia seeds, and Hona Fiber + Greens) is your gut's BFF.
It forms a gel in your digestive tract that slows absorption, stabilizes blood sugar, and keeps you feeling satisfied.
Enter: Hona Fiber + Greens
Instead of choking down giant fiber pills or chewing through ten pounds of kale, grab Hona Fiber + Greens.
It’s delicious (no swampy aftertaste), packed with fiber, prebiotics, and greens, and easy to mix into your morning or post-lunch routine.
Plus, it’s clean, high-quality, and actually tastes GOOD—unlike some of those other greens powders that, let’s be real, taste like lawn clippings.
Bottom Line:
If you’re riding the GLP-1 wave, fiber is your not-so-secret weapon for smoother sailing, better results, and feeling AMAZING while you do it.
Happy gut, happy life—and happy you.
Stay regular, stay winning. 🏆
