Oatzempic is a simple blended drink made with half a cup of rolled oats, one cup of water, cinnamon and lime juice. The name is a play on words for Ozempic, a diabetes medication.
Ozempic is a weekly injection that helps lower blood sugar by helping the pancreas make more insulin. It is not approved for weight loss, but it has a side effect of slowing down digestion and convincing your body it’s full faster.
Research indicates that the beta-glucan fiber in oats may regulate hunger hormones, potentially aiding in long-term weight management and reducing obesity rates. However, losing up to 40lbs in just two months is extreme. You may be drawn to trying out this drink once or twice, but remember, a diet is all about a healthy balance. Stay safe!
