Clear Chicken and Vegetable Soup Best Foods to Eat on GLP-1
The night before your Ozempic or Mounjaro injection, the simplest meal is the most powerful — a fat-skimmed clear chicken broth with soft vegetables is the most universally tolerated pre-injection meal on GLP-1. Clear broth sodium, potassium, and warmth calm the digestive lining and prepare it for the medication's effects the following day. Eating a heavy, high-fat meal the night before your injection is the single biggest controllable risk factor for severe post-injection nausea — this recipe eliminates that risk. Avoid cream soups, fatty meat stews, and rich noodle soups on pre-injection day.
