Tips for GLP-1 users
If your appetite is low on GLP-1 medication, eat this slowly and stop when comfortably fullβits mix of protein, healthy fats, and complex carbs is dense enough that even a half portion can support energy and help reduce fatigue.
To make it even gentler on the stomach, mash the lentils lightly in the pan so the texture is softer and easier to digest.
