Right from the start of my taking Zepbound or Tirzepatide meds I did not feel hungry and eating became a chore. The food tasted good but I just did not want it. However, it is important to have three small meals a day, each with a bit of protein. This keeps your blood sugar levels stable plus manages any nausea you may experience as a side effect. Often nausea is caused by what you eat or by not eating at all.
Remember that you need protein to fuel your body to burn its stored fat! That is why it's important to keep a few foods on hand that are easy to eat and appealing that can easily supply your protein base.
Good Culture Cottage Cheese is one of the best protein finds I can offer you! What is different about Good Culture cottage cheese? It's smoother and thicker than other cottage cheeses with an almost a whipped cream cheese texture and flavor. It tastes so good because Good Culture is made from dairy, enzymes, and salt, and doesn't include thickeners or other ingredients that most brands use in making their products.
It even tastes fresh, with a clean mouth feel, like it doesn't have a lot of fillers or things that should not be in your food. I now use Good Culture in place of cream cheese on a bagel with my smoked salmon tomato and red onion, a classic Sunday Brunch food. I slather a thick layer of this super creamy fresh cheese on the Everything half of the bagel and don't have to worry about adding a thousand calories in cream cheese.
A slice of sourdough toast with Good Culture and sliced avocado sprinkled with Everything Bagel Seasoning is a heavenly breakfast or lunch. A small scoop in a custard cup with sliced strawberries is a delicious evening dessert. In the afternoon I grab a spoon, open the container and have a couple heaping spoonfuls right out of the container for 15 grams of protein in a flash.
It is available in my neck of the woods at Safeway and Target, but you can click here to go to the Good Culture Website and add your zip code to find it near you!
Find it near you and give it a try! I think you will LOVE it. You can thank me later.
