Starting a GLP-1 medication like Ozempic®, Wegovy®, or Mounjaro® often changes the way you shop for groceries.

Because these medications help reduce appetite, it's important to make every meal as nutritious as possible. Choosing foods that are high in protein, rich in fiber, and packed with vitamins can help support healthy weight loss while making it easier to meet your nutritional needs.

This grocery list is filled with simple foods that work well for many people following a GLP-1-friendly eating plan.

Keeping a variety of lean protein sources on hand makes it easier to build balanced meals, even on days when your appetite is low.

Tips for Grocery Shopping on GLP-1

A few simple habits can make grocery shopping easier while taking GLP-1 medications:

• Shop after eating rather than when you're hungry.
• Focus on protein first.
• Choose frozen vegetables and berries for convenience.
• Buy pre-cut vegetables if it helps you eat more produce.
• Keep healthy snacks ready to grab.
• Don't buy more fresh food than you can realistically eat while your appetite is reduced.

Small, frequent shopping trips may also help reduce food waste if you're eating smaller portions than before.
