The GLP-1 Fast Food Survival Matrix & Acute GI Rescue Protocols
Engineered specifically for patients on Semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy) and Tirzepatide (Mounjaro, Zepbound). Keep total fat under 12g per meal on injection days to prevent gastroparesis nausea, hit your 1.6–2.2g/kg protein floor, and neutralize sulfur burps in under 30 minutes.
1. High-Protein Fast Food Orders (Under 12g Fat)
How to order: Lifestyle base, Double Chicken, Fajita Veggies, Light Black Beans, Tomatillo Green-Chili Salsa. NO rice, NO cheese, NO sour cream.
How to order: 12-count Grilled Nuggets + Side Kale Crunch Salad (use half dressing) or Fruit Cup. Sauce: Honey Roasted BBQ or Light Italian.
How to order: Egg White & Roasted Red Pepper Egg Bites + Tall Nitro Cold Brew with 1 pump sugar-free vanilla or splash of nonfat milk.
How to order: Citrus Warm Bowl with Double Chicken, dressing on the side (use 1 tablespoon). Substitute apple chips instead of the baguette.
2. Acute GI Symptom Rescue Protocols
Protocol: Stop forcing solid meat. Switch immediately to 250mL chilled clear whey isolate shake (20g protein, 0g fat). Chilled liquids empty the stomach up to 3x faster than warm solids. Sip 200mL ginger tea (containing 1,000mg natural gingerol) to stimulate gastric fundus motility.
Protocol: Take 262mg bismuth subsalicylate (Pepto-Bismol) to chemically bind free sulfur gas in the stomach lumen. Eliminate cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower), eggs, and garlic for 48 hours. Drink 1 tbsp organic apple cider vinegar in 150mL water 10 minutes before meals.
Protocol: Take 400mg Magnesium Citrate or Glycinate before bed with 400mL water + pinch of pink Himalayan sea salt. Maintain 35–45 mL/kg fluid intake daily. Never allow more than 48 hours to elapse without bowel movement on GLP-1s.
3. Sarcopenia Protein Floor Formula (ESPEN Standard)
Daily Protein Floor = Body Weight (kg) × 1.6g to 2.2g
Example: A 75 kg patient requires 120g – 165g of high-leucine protein daily divided into 3–4 meals of ≥30g each. This activates muscle protein synthesis (mTOR) and prevents the catabolic loss of lean muscle mass.
