Miso Soup with Silken Tofu and Seaweed Best Foods to Eat on GLP-1
This is one of the best meals to eat the day before your Wegovy or Ozempic injection. The night before your shot, your gut needs to be calm and ready — fermented miso supports gut microbiome balance, silken tofu provides gentle zero-fat plant protein, and warm broth hydrates without adding any digestive burden. Eating a light, warm, low-fat meal the day before your injection significantly reduces post-shot nausea and bloating. Avoid heavy cream soups, fatty meat broths, and high-sodium ramen that can worsen GLP-1 side effects on injection day.
