GLP-1 weight loss drugs like Ozempic? and Wegovy? have become widely-used tools for people to manage their weight through metabolic support. But a concern is that the loss of appetite experienced by people using the drugs may negatively impact their nutritional intake. A recent webinar conducted by USA Pulses explained how dry beans and dry peas support a rich and sustainable approach to health for GLP-1 users.
Side effects of GLP-1 use include constipation, reflux and muscle loss. A ? cup of pulses include a range of nutritional benefits to offset these effects. They provide 6-8g of dietary fiber, so consuming them should help to ease constipation. They also have 9g of plant-based protein, helping balance the risk of muscle loss on GLP-1 drugs. Pulses also promote gut health because they have a mix of soluble, insoluble and resistant starch types that offer broad digestive benefits.
