It\u2019s injected once daily and should be used in addition to a reduced-calorie diet and exercise to aid with losing weight. Saxenda works by regulating your appetite, making you feel fuller and less hungry. Some people can be prescribed it by the NHS, you can find out more from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.simpleonlinepharmacy.co.uk\/health-advice\/weight-loss\/saxenda\/can-you-get-saxenda-on-the-nhs\/\">our post on the topic<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There isn\u2019t any detailed information in the patient information leaflet on what diet to follow. This can make it difficult to know what to eat while using Saxenda. In this post, we\u2019ll take a look at what diet advice you should follow when using Saxenda, and what foods you should try to avoid.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"page\" data-elementor-id=\"7549\" class=\"elementor elementor-7549\" data-elementor-post-type=\"elementor_library\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f691d71 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"f691d71\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fc7aefa cta-heading elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"fc7aefa\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Take an assessment and order Saxenda from \u00a369<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0ab8dcd elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"0ab8dcd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/www.simpleonlinepharmacy.co.uk\/online-doctor\/weight-loss\/saxenda\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Start assessment<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-diet-did-patients-have-during-the-clinical-studies\">What Diet Did Patients Have During the Clinical Studies?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Clinical studies involve hundreds or thousands of patients taking a drug and being observed by scientists for beneficial effects, as well as any side effects. During clinical trials of Saxenda, patients were given diet and exercise advice as well as injecting Saxenda (or a placebo) every day.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nejm.org\/doi\/full\/10.1056\/nejmoa1411892\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">results of one trial<\/a> showed that 63% of patients who used Saxenda daily lost 5% or more of their body weight over 56 weeks. Only 27% of patients who injected a placebo daily lost 5% or more of their body weight.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nejm.org\/doi\/suppl\/10.1056\/NEJMoa1411892\/suppl_file\/nejmoa1411892_appendix.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">dietary advice patients<\/a> were given was to have 30% of energy from fat, 20% from protein and 50% from carbohydrates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The diet plan also advised the patients to have a calorie deficit of 500 calories a day. This means that they should eat 500 calories less than their daily energy requirements. For example, the average woman needs around 2000 calories a day. To eat at a 500 calorie deficit, she would have to eat 1500 calories a day.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Everyone will have different energy requirements due to a variety of factors such as age, weight and physical activity. The scientists in the trial calculated each patients\u2019 energy requirements based on World Health Organisation guidelines. You can find a basic <a title=\"Calorie Calculator\" href=\"https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/nutrition\/how-many-calories-per-day\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">energy requirement calculator here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Patients were told to complete a 3-day food diary every second month to help them with their diet. They were also told to increase their physical activity to at least 150 minutes a week and given pedometers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you decide to follow this advice and get 30% of your calories from fat, make sure that you try to cut down on saturated fat. Saturated fat can increase the amount of cholesterol in the blood and increase the risk of getting heart disease. Foods high in saturated fat include fatty meat, butter, cream, cakes, and sausages.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-saxenda-foods-to-avoid-if-you-re-nauseous\">Saxenda: Foods to Avoid if You\u2019re Nauseous<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the most common side effects of Saxenda is nausea. This gradually improves over time in most people as the body gets used to the medicine. It might be useful to avoid certain foods if you feel nauseous with Saxenda. This includes<\/p>\n\n\n\n<li>Strong-smelling foods<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Greasy, fried or hot food<\/li>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, if Saxenda makes you feel nauseous you may find it useful to:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<li>Eat bland, low-fat foods, like biscuits, rice, and toast<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Eat foods that contain water, like soups and gelatin<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Drink ginger or peppermint tea<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Eat foods containing ginger, such as ginger biscuits<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Don&#8217;t lie down after you eat<\/li>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you find your nausea is severe, contact your doctor or pharmacist for advice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-nhs-diet-advice\">NHS Diet Advice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The NHS recommends a balanced diet and follows the government <a href=\"https:\/\/assets.publishing.service.gov.uk\/government\/uploads\/system\/uploads\/attachment_data\/file\/528193\/Eatwell_guide_colour.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Eatwell chart<\/a>. This provides a guide of how much food from different food groups we should eat. It advises that we eat at least 5 portions of fruit and vegetables a day. It also states that a third (33%) of calories should come from fruit and vegetables and 33% from starchy carbohydrates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The NHS also discusses <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhs.uk\/live-well\/healthy-weight\/managing-your-weight\/understanding-calories\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"dofollow noreferrer noopener\">calories and energy requirements<\/a>. The information mentions that to lose weight, you need to use more energy than consume. This is the same concept as the calorie deficit that the scientists in the Saxenda studies used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-authorship\">Authorship<\/h3>\n\n\n\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"container\" data-elementor-id=\"14942\" class=\"elementor elementor-14942\" data-elementor-post-type=\"elementor_library\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ec8f702 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"ec8f702\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-73a1dc0 elementor-position-left elementor-vertical-align-middle elementor-widget__width-auto elementor-widget elementor-widget-image-box\" data-id=\"73a1dc0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image-box.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-box-wrapper\"><figure class=\"elementor-image-box-img\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.simpleonlinepharmacy.co.uk\/health-advice\/hywel-mcglinchy\/\" tabindex=\"-1\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.simpleonlinepharmacy.co.uk\/health-advice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/hywel-mcglinchy-150px.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail wp-image-13861\" alt=\"Hywel McGlinchy - Pharmacist and Medical Writer\" \/><\/a><\/figure><div class=\"elementor-image-box-content\"><h4 class=\"elementor-image-box-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.simpleonlinepharmacy.co.uk\/health-advice\/hywel-mcglinchy\/\"><h4>Authored by Hywel McGlinchy<\/h4><\/a><\/h4><p class=\"elementor-image-box-description\"><b>Pharmacist \/ Content Writer<\/b><\/br>\n<b>GPHC: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pharmacyregulation.org\/registers\/pharmacist\/registrationnumber\/2215744\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2215744<\/a><br><\/b>\nHywel started with Simple Online Pharmacy in 2020.
