Dose increase week is a terrible time for your only dinner option to be "whatever is in the freezer from 2021."

Many GLP-1 medications increase gradually under a prescriber's direction. During dose changes, some users notice appetite shifts or digestive symptoms. A simple meal plan can reduce decision fatigue.

SmashMeals helps by giving customers ready-to-eat options before the week gets complicated.

Dose increase week checklist

• Order meals before the dose change
• Choose protein-focused options
• Keep meals simple
• Avoid testing new heavy foods that week
• Keep fluids available
• Have small meal portions ready
• Track what foods feel best
• Contact your prescriber if symptoms are difficult

Why this helps

If appetite drops sharply, you still need nutrients. If nausea shows up, you will want gentle options. If you are busy, you need a plan that works without a kitchen production line.
