Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Caddy and getting started.

What should I eat while on a GLP-1 medication in India?

Focus on protein-forward meals - dal, paneer, eggs, chicken, fish, Greek yogurt - alongside fiber-rich vegetables and fruit. Appetite is reduced, so each meal needs to work harder nutritionally than before.

How much protein do I need daily on a GLP-1?

Protein needs are higher than usual while on a GLP-1, since reduced appetite raises the risk of muscle loss alongside fat loss. Exact targets vary by body weight and goals - this is worth confirming with a nutritionist rather than following a single generic number.

What foods should I avoid on GLP-1?

Nothing is strictly off-limits, but very fatty or heavy meals can worsen nausea and digestive discomfort for some people on GLP-1s, especially early in treatment. Smaller, more frequent, protein-forward meals tend to sit better than large ones.

How is a GLP-1 diet different from a normal weight-loss diet?

The core difference is appetite: a GLP-1 significantly reduces how much you naturally want to eat, so the diet has to prioritize protein and fiber density per meal - there's less room to make up nutrition later in the day.

Can I follow this diet plan before starting GLP-1 medication?

Yes - the same protein-and-fiber-forward approach works for general weight loss too. If you're specifically wondering whether you're a candidate for GLP-1 medication itself, check your eligibility first.
