To make the viral TikTok drink, combine the below ingredients in a blender:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One cup of water<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One-half cup of oats<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Juice of half a lime<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some people combine the blended oat drink with<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hopkinsmedicine.org\/health\/wellness-and-prevention\/intermittent-fasting-what-is-it-and-how-does-it-work\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">intermittent fasting<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or sip on \u201cOatzempic\u201d throughout the day in lieu of more solid food. While the trendy drink can be included in a healthy eating plan, it should not be consumed for every meal or all day long. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cOatzempic does not provide nearly enough vitamins, minerals, or protein to be considered an adequate meal replacement,\u201d says<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fcs.uga.edu\/people\/bio\/tracey-brigman\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tracey Brigman<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Ed.D., MS, RDN, a clinical associate professor of nutritional sciences at the University of Georgia.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"can-oatzempic-help-you-lose-weight\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Can \u201cOatzempic\u201d help you lose weight?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Experts note that there are a few ways that \u201cOatzempic\u201d could aid in weight loss, and they\u2019re the reasons you\u2019ve probably heard associated with oats in the past.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Better than skipping meals:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> If you\u2019re someone who often skips breakfast, it could lead to cravings or overeating later in the day. (Yes, even if you\u2019re not hungry in the mornings, says <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/amandasauceda.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Amanda Sauceda<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, MS, RD, a dietitian and gut health nutritionist based in Long Beach, California). In this case, drinking \u201cOatzempic\u201d to start your day could reduce how much you eat later in the day.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>A low-calorie swap:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> If you consistently eat a high-calorie breakfast, like a bagel loaded with cream cheese or syrupy pancakes, drinking \u201cOatzempic\u201d instead could lead to weight loss over time.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>The fiber factor:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Oats are <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/fdc.nal.usda.gov\/fdc-app.html#\/food-details\/1101825\/nutrients\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">high in fiber<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which can help you feel full longer, providing the potential to help with <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.health.harvard.edu\/blog\/making-one-change-getting-fiber-can-help-weight-loss-201502177721\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">weight loss<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. However, having <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">both<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> fiber and protein would make a bigger impact on feeling full, notes Sauceda.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 id=\"oatzempic-versus-oatmeal\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Oatzempic versus oatmeal<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the blended oat drink\u2019s benefits aren\u2019t that different than those of oats, it begs the question: Is \u201cOatzempic\u201d really any different than eating a bowl of oatmeal? It depends, say experts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Enjoying oats in any form, including as a drink or as a bowl of oatmeal, can provide benefits. \u201cOats are also a source of a special type of fiber called beta-glucan, which has been linked to helping with <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/34727805\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">weight management<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and is also considered prebiotic, which in turn helps your gut health, says Sauceda.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The biggest difference in whether your oats contribute to weight loss will be determined by what you add to them. \u201cIf your bowl of oatmeal <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hsph.harvard.edu\/news\/hsph-in-the-news\/oatmeal-whole-grains-breakfast\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">resembles a dessert<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, that\u2019s definitely not going to be your best bet for managing weight,\u201d says Newgent.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the flip side, a good, old-fashioned bowl of oatmeal may actually have some benefits over \u201cOatzempic.\u201d \u201cChewing can reduce your calorie intake by increasing the satisfaction you get from meals,\u201d says Brigman. Slowing down and savoring every bite of your oatmeal rather than drinking it in one go can boost your satiety. In turn, this satisfaction can tide you over between meals, leading to fewer calories consumed later in the day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Further, a bowl of oats (including rolled oats or old-fashioned oats) offers the opportunity to add additional protein in the form of protein powder, Greek yogurt, peanut butter, or healthy fats, which can help <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/medicine.illinois.edu\/news\/weight-loss-success-depends-on-eating-more-protein-fiber-while-limiting-calories-study-finds\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">keep you full longer<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Plus, when you add yogurt, not only do you get extra protein, you get the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/28945458\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">many benefits<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of fermented food, adds Sauceda. \u201cEven though a well-rounded oatmeal may have more calories, it can actually aid in weight loss by keeping you energized and fuller for longer, preventing unwanted mindless eating later on,\u201d says <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/nomadista_nutrition\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mascha Davis<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> MPH, RDN, a registered dietitian based in Los Angeles, California, and author of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eat Your Vitamins<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"oatzempic-versus-ozempic\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Oatzempic versus Ozempic<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The weight loss trend popularized on social media as an alternative to Ozempic may help you lose weight, but not in the way TikTok would have you think.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201c<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/my.clevelandclinic.org\/health\/treatments\/13901-glp-1-agonists\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">GLP-1s<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> like Ozempic stimulate insulin secretion, inhibit glucagon release, and slow gastric emptying, helping to regulate blood sugar levels and reduce appetite,\u201d says Davis. While oats can trigger the body to release GLP-1 naturally, they don\u2019t do so in the same way nor in the same amounts as Ozempic. Therefore, comparing \u201cOatzempic\u201d to Ozempic and large weight loss claims is unfounded and misleading, Brigman adds.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"tips-for-safe-weight-loss\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tips for safe weight loss<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While they may promise fast results, diet trends, and quick fixes often lead to temporary results that can negatively affect your metabolism and relationship with food, says Davis. Instead, experts recommend that you focus on creating lasting lifestyle changes and emphasizing the importance of eating consistent, balanced meals that incorporate high-fiber carbohydrates, lean proteins, and heart-healthy fats.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is important to lose weight gradually (one to two pounds per week) for weight loss to be <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/healthy-weight-growth\/losing-weight\/index.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">healthy and sustainable<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Brigman also suggests breaking your goals into smaller, more attainable ones. \u201cAchieving small goals helps to build confidence and encourages people to continue making lifestyle changes to move on to losing the next five pounds.\u201d She also cautions against changing all your eating habits at once.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\t\t<div class=\"singlecare-dynamic-newsletter-wrapper sin-newsletter-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"heading\">Get our weight management newsletter<\/span>\n\t\t\t<form class=\"form-wrapper\" data-newsletter-form=\"1\" data-subsource=\"Weight Management Newsletter\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"input-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<label for=\"dynamic-email\">Email<\/label>\n\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"email\" id=\"dynamic-email\" class=\"email\" required>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"input-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<input class=\"submit-form-btn\" type=\"submit\" value=\"Click to sign up\">\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/form>\n\t\t\t<p class=\"success-message\" aria-live=\"polite\"><\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to Brigman, safe weight-loss strategies include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Setting realistic and specific goals<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Making gradual changes<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Staying hydrated<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Getting enough sleep<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Prioritizing protein and fiber (25-30 grams per day)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Being patient with your progress<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Engaging in physical activity you enjoy<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Focusing on fruits and veggies<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Practicing portion control<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Being mindful of your eating habits and emotions around food<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Developing coping strategies for your triggers<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Choosing nutrient-dense foods that you enjoy<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Enjoying your favorite indulgence foods occasionally rather than eliminating them entirely<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While you need to be in a calorie deficit to lose weight, not eating enough calories can backfire, leading to weight gain or plateau. \u201cThe most supportive way to lose weight is to structure your meals with <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/blog\/high-protein-foods\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">protein<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, healthy fats, and fiber.
