Eating for Thanksgiving while on Ozmepic or GLP
The 5 Best and Worst Thanksgiving foods while on Ozemic or GLP
1. Roasted Turkey
- Low in fat
- High In Arginine and Tryptophan
- Dark is superior to white
Turkey is one of the most superior of all meats for its nutrient density . Roasting turkey can maintain the juicees and nutrients. I recommend using a cheese cloth, some butter and LOTS of herbs such as rosemary.
Protips: Using dark meat contains myoglobin, which helps bring oxygen to the muscles. It is found in the legs of the animal, thus giving the turkey legs its dark color. It is also richer in zinc
Pros:
- Low in fat
- High in Protein, Zinc, Iron :
- Versatile
Cons:
- Low in fat causes a blander flavor:
- Gravy helps with flavor but can cause uncomfortable side effects.
A MUST HAVE for GLP USERS
2. Mashed Potatoes
- High in Potassium
- High in fiber from skins
- Helps with swelling
- Eat plan with lots of pepper
The potato is an underrated source of nutrients. Its been giving a bad rep, but they are so nutritious.
Protip:
- Top with fat free yogurt for a sour cream taste
- Season with a lot of rosemary or herbs
- Fill up 25%$ of your plate with the carb!

"Beyond food, thanksgiving should be a time to engage all your senses: Sight, Smell, Sound. Appreciate the visual beauty of Thanksgiving now that the Food Noise is lessened. "
3. Green Bean Casserole (minus the Onions)
- Fill up 25% of your plate with Greens
- This will add fiber and micronutrients
This is a perfect dish to bring to a Thanksgiving dinner. My favorite way to make it is cooking with 2 bell peppers and boiling it in unsalted chicken broth for a lot of flavor.
Protip:
- Remove the onions if eating the Green Bean casserole
