Focus areas: Establish hydration habits now, before higher doses make GI symptoms more pronounced Track protein intake for at least one week to establish a baseline Begin or maintain light exercise (walking 20 to 30 minutes daily) Get bloodwork done if you do not have recent results (ferritin, B12, vitamin D, metabolic panel) Start an electrolyte supplement if experiencing any nausea or GI symptoms The goal at this stage is building habits that will protect you at higher doses
1) Lean proteins (build every meal around one) Eggs, egg whites, Greek yogurt, cottage cheese Chicken, turkey, fish, shrimp Tofu, tempeh, beans, lentils, chickpeas Protein shakes when appetite is very low (choose options that fit your clinicians guidance) 2) Fiber-rich plants (increase gradually) Berries, apples, pears Leafy greens, cucumbers, carrots, peppers Beans and lentils (start small if gas is an issue) 3) Gentle carbs for energy Oatmeal, whole-grain toast, brown rice, quinoa Potatoes or sweet potatoes Soups and stews for hydration plus calories when appetite is low 4) Easier fats in smaller amounts Olive oil, avocado, nuts, nut butters in measured portions If fat worsens your nausea, use smaller servings and spread them out
