Social media never ceases to amaze us. Whenever something starts trending on social media, it needs to be properly vetted.

Masu.
One such trend at the moment is about “Oatzempic”.

Oat-en-pick is a drink made from oats, water, and lime juice. Social media trendsetters claim this will help you lose 20 kg in 2 months.
Oats are good for your health. But are oat-enriched drinks good for your health?
Oats are considered to be good for your health as they are rich in dietary fiber. But health experts warn that oats are not the only solution to weight loss.
“Blended oat drinks are not the same as prescription drugs, and they seem like a dangerous trend that promotes poor eating habits. They are not nutritionally sound and are not based on science,” says R.D.N. editor Lisa Valente told CBS News.
Instead, add oats to your diet along with other nutritious foods. Choose whole-grain oats, such as rolled oats or steel-cut oats, over the instant variety. This is because they are rich in fiber and nutrients, which keep you feeling full for longer. Watch portion sizes to avoid excess calorie intake. Start with a modest serving size, such as 1/2 to 3/4 cup of cooked oats, and adjust as needed depending on your hunger and energy levels. Make oatmeal more filling by adding protein sources like Greek yogurt, nuts, seeds, and protein powder. Add flavor and texture to your oatmeal and add vitamins and minerals by adding nutritious toppings like fresh fruit, berries, sliced almonds, and chia seeds. Avoid excessive sweeteners like sugar and honey, and instead sweeten your oats naturally with fruit or small amounts of natural sweeteners like stevia or maple syrup.
