Best fiber sources for semaglutide users: Leafy greens (spinach, kale, Swiss chard) Cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts) Berries (raspberries, blackberries, blueberries) Chia seeds (10g fiber per 2 tablespoons) Ground flaxseed (4g fiber per 2 tablespoons) Lentils (15g fiber per cup cooked) Black beans (15g fiber per cup cooked) Oats (4g fiber per half cup dry) For detailed food lists and specific recommendations, see our comprehensive guide on foods to eat while on semaglutide
