On TikTok, a woman blends a half cup of rolled oats with a cup of water and the juice of half a lime. She forces a smile and then hesitantly takes a sip. \u201cThat,\u201d she says<\/a> with a colorful flourish, \u201cis nasty.\u201d<\/p>\n

The drink isn\u2019t meant to taste good; it\u2019s supposed to be a weight loss hack.<\/p>\n

Drink it every day, some influencers on social media claim, and you can lose a staggering 40 pounds in two months. \u201cOatzempic,\u201d as it\u2019s called, is a reference to the diabetes drug Ozempic<\/a>, which belongs to a class of medications that have surged in popularity for their remarkable ability to help people lose weight.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s riding \u201con the coattails\u201d of these drugs, said Colleen Tewksbury, an assistant professor in nutrition science at the University of Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n

But while oats are certainly nutritious, \u201cthere is nothing magical\u201d about them for weight loss, said Emily Haller, a dietitian at Trinity Health Lifestyle Medicine in Michigan.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
