What’s the Deal with Oatzempic?
Oatzempic is a TikTok trend where people blend oats, water, and lime juice, claiming it helps with rapid weight loss. The name is a play on Ozempic, a medication known for appetite control and weight loss.
According to some TikTokers, drinking Oatzempic daily can lead to weight loss of up to 40 pounds in just 8 weeks. Sounds impressive, right? But here’s the reality check: losing that much weight that quickly isn't considered healthy or sustainable. In fact, health experts, including myself, a Registered Associate Nutritionist, recommend aiming to lose 1 to 2 pounds per week for safe, long-term results.
Let’s be honest - any diet or trend that promises a specific amount of weight loss in a short, specified time should raise red flags. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
Oats themselves are a brilliant, versatile, and nutritious food. They are high in fibre, support gut health, help you feel fuller for longer, and may help reduce cholesterol and control blood glucose levels. Enjoy oats as part of a balanced diet, such as in homemade oat pancakes with plain, natural yogurt and fruit, porridge with milk and nuts or seeds, or overnight oats.
Consuming a healthy balanced diet, combined with regular exercise, good sleep, and stress management, is a much better and healthier way to achieve and maintain weight loss.
