GLP-1 medications can cause digestive side effects for some people, including constipation. This can be affected by eating less food, drinking too little fluid, getting less fiber, and moving less.

SmashMeals does not treat constipation. Customers with ongoing symptoms should talk with their healthcare provider.

How meal planning may support a better routine

• Eat consistent meals rather than skipping all day
• Include fiber-containing foods as tolerated
• Drink fluids as directed
• Move regularly if approved
• Avoid huge heavy meals
• Track what foods help or hurt
• Ask a clinician before using laxatives or supplements

SmashMeals can help by making regular meals easier. If customers are eating very little, having prepared protein-focused meals with vegetables or other tolerated sides can help bring structure back to the week.
