How this plan supports you

This Greek-inspired seven-day plan provides a balanced mix of lean proteins, seafood, eggs, dairy, legumes, whole grains, fruits, and vegetables to support your weight-maintenance calorie target and steady energy needs. Protein is distributed throughout the day from foods such as chicken, turkey, fish, yogurt, beans, and lentils, which may help support fullness and muscle maintenance. The frequent inclusion of vegetables, fruit, beans, whole grains, nuts, and seeds makes this plan a good source of fiber and a range of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Olive oil, fish, nuts, olives, and tahini contribute mostly unsaturated fats, while the variety of classic Greek flavors can help keep meals satisfying and enjoyable.

Food is the foundation. A GLP-1 can help when hunger fights you.

This meal plan is built to support your goal. Many people also use clinician-guided GLP-1 medications — such as semaglutide — through Okapy Care.

  • Quieter “food noise” and easier fullness between meals
  • Steadier appetite, which makes a calorie target more realistic
  • Works with a meal plan — not instead of one
