Natural Wegovy is a meal that naturally activates GLP-1, your body’s satiety hormone, through real food rather than Ozempic or Wegovy injections. Total time: 10 minutes. Serves 1. Built around a soft-boiled egg, ricotta cheese, almonds, olive oil, and raspberries, this healthy egg breakfast was popularized by a Korean doctor and is currently one of the trendiest natural GLP-1 foods in Korea right now. I’m adding my own twist from the same approach that helped me lose 20kg and today I’m sharing this wellness morning plate I’ve been completely obsessed with.

Natural Wegovy? And Why Koreans Named It That

Natural Wegovy is a wholesome meal that naturally stimulates your body’s GLP-1 hormone using real food instead of Wegovy or Ozempic injections. GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) is a hormone released by your small intestine after you eat. It sends a fullness signal to your brain, slows digestion, and stabilizes blood sugar. Wegovy and Ozempic are injections that artificially mimic this hormone.

But did you know that certain foods can stimulate GLP-1 secretion on their own without any injection? A well-known Korean doctor(Woo Chang-yoon) pointed out that eating protein-rich eggs together with olive oil, high in unsaturated fat, can activate GLP-1 release and help regulate food intake. That’s exactly what this healthy breakfast does. And that’s precisely why it’s called Natural Wegovy.

The dr.Woo recommended eating boiled eggs with olive oil, and suggested that adding Greek yogurt and gold kiwi would give you healthy fats, protein, and dietary fiber all in one plate.

I put my own spin on it. I kept the eggs and olive oil exactly as the doctor suggested, but swapped Greek yogurt for ricotta cheese, because it keeps me fuller for longer. Then I added low-GI berries on the side. This time, I went with raspberries.

What Goes Into My Natural Wegovy Plate

1 egg: Egg protein stimulates GLP-1 secretion and helps lower post-meal blood sugar.
1 tbsp ricotta cheese: The combination of healthy fat and protein further activates GLP-1 secretion.
3 raspberries: A great source of soluble dietary fiber.
4 almonds: Almonds are a superfood packed with protein, unsaturated fat, and fiber all in one. I add these as my own twist to the original recipe.
1 tbsp olive oil: Cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil is the most well-researched healthy unsaturated fat for natural GLP-1 activation.
1 pinch salt + 3 pinches black pepper: Adjust to your taste. Even when I’m watching what I eat, I always make sure it tastes good. That’s just my philosophy haha😄

How to Make Natural Wegovy: Healthy Egg Breakfast

Step 1. Boil the Egg

Bring water to a rolling boil. Lower the egg in gently using a spoon. Set a timer for 8 minutes for a soft boiled egg. If you prefer fully hard-boiled, go 10 minutes. When the timer goes off, transfer immediately to cold water.

Mistakes I Made When I First Developed This Recipe 😱

I Overcooked the Egg

When I first started making this natural wegovy breakfast, I used a 10-minute fully hard-boiled egg. But I realized that a softer, 8-minute egg pairs so much better with the creamy ricotta.

I Chopped the Almonds Too Fine

At first, I chopped the almonds very finely. The result? Chalky and textureless. The pieces need to be large enough that you’re actually biting down on something, that’s when the nutty flavor really comes through and the texture becomes part of the experience. Plus, chewing more thoroughly is better for digestion overall.

Substitutions & How to Adapt This Recipe

Ricotta cheese: If you want to rank by protein content, cottage cheese comes first, followed by Greek yogurt, then ricotta. Swap based on your taste preference or protein goals.

Raspberries: I chose raspberries over the doctor’s recommended gold kiwi because they have an exceptionally low glycemic index (GI). I usually pair this breakfast with low-GI berries. Swap freely based on your preference.

Almonds: Pistachios or walnuts.

Dairy-free version: Soy yogurt.
