I'm a dietitian, and these are the 10 Costco groceries I'd stock up on if I were on a GLP-1
If I were taking a GLP-1 or weight-loss medication, as a dietitian, I'd buy these easy meals and snacks at Costco to still hit my nutrition goals.
As a registered dietitian, Lauren Manaker knows that maintaining proper nutrition is essential when taking GLP-1 weight-loss medication. She shares the top 10 Costco groceries she would stock up on to hit her nutrition goals while still benefiting from the medication's appetite-curbing effects.
First on the list are pistachios, a protein-packed snack that also delivers 3 grams of fiber per serving. Manaker suggests pairing them with nut butter for an even more satisfying snack. Next, bone broth is recommended for its protein content and hydration benefits. With 11 grams of protein per serving, it can be easily sipped or used as a base for soups and grains.
Kimchi, a fermented food, is another essential addition to the cart. It supports gut health and adds flavor to various dishes, making smaller meals more enjoyable. Moving on to fish, Kirkland Signature blackened Atlantic salmon is a protein-rich option with 29 grams of protein per serving. It's also packed with omega-3 fatty acids, which are beneficial for heart and brain health.
For a convenient and protein-packed snack, RxBars are suggested. Each bar contains 12 grams of protein, 5 to 6 grams of fiber, and no added sugar, making them an ideal choice for maintaining energy levels and satiety. Lastly, Manaker emphasizes the importance of whole, unprocessed foods and encourages individuals to consult their medical team before making any dietary changes.
