GLP-1 Peptides

Healthy Fats Matter Too

The Big Idea

Fat quality affects your hormones, sa)ety, and metabolic flexibility — not just your calorie count.

Why It Matters

Seed oils and industrial plant-based oils are easy to over-consume without realizing it, especially in processed and restaurant food, and they're structurally different from the fats your body has evolved to use efficiently for hormone production and cell membrane health.

Swapping toward stable, whole-food fat sources supports hormone production and helps satiety signals work the way they're supposed to — which maPers directly for appetite regulation while you're on a GLP-1.

Fat also slows gastric emptying somewhat on its own, which is worth being mindful of alongside the gastric- emptying effects of your medication (see Module 11) — moderate, high-quality fat with meals is supportive; very high-fat meals can compound digestive slowness.

What This Means for You

● Favor butter, coconut oil, avocado oil, and extra-virgin olive oil.

● Minimize seed oils and industrial plant-based oils where you can — these are common in packaged and restaurant food.

● Include a source of healthy fat at most meals, but keep portions moderate if you're noticing fullness or digestive slowness.

Common Pitfalls

● Going very low-fat to cut calories — this can undercut sa)ety and hormone produc)on.

● Not checking labels on packaged foods, where seed oils are extremely common even in products marketed as healthy.
