Why this works on GLP-1
Omega-3s reduce inflammation often associated with GLP-1 GI side effects. Lentils provide slow-release energy without glucose spikes. High satiety per calorie.
Ingredients
- 6 oz salmon fillet
- ½ cup dry green lentils (cooks to ~1.5 cups)
- 2 cups water or low-sodium broth
- 1 tsp olive oil
