Cutting ultra-processed foods doesn’t mean eating plain steamed vegetables for every meal. Most UPF swaps are surprisingly easy — and some taste better than what you’re replacing.

The Swaps

What food swaps should I make on Tirzepatide or Retatrutide?

1. Velveeta → Credo Oat Milk Queso — Same use case (nachos, mac and cheese, dipping), completely different ingredient list.

2. Easy Cheese → Credo Spray Cheeze — Same fun format, oat milk-based instead of canola oil.

3. Jarred Alfredo → Credo Roasted Garlic Alfredo — Cashew-based cream instead of canola oil and modified starch.

4. Ranch dressing → Tahini drizzle with lemon and salt.

5. Ketchup → Mustard. Zero sugar, zero seed oils.

6. BBQ sauce → Hot sauce. Cuts 10+ grams of sugar per serving.

7. Flavored yogurt → Plain Protein yogurt with berries.

8. Granola bars → Nuts and dried fruit.

9. Frozen pizza → Homemade flatbread with marinara and vegetables.

10. Sugary cereal → Oatmeal with nut butter and banana.

The 80/20 Rule

If you swap out the condiments — which you eat with almost every meal — you eliminate a huge source of daily UPF exposure with minimal effort.
