TikTok’s viral oatmeal drink for weight loss is a challenge for experts.

Doctors shared their views on the Oatzempic challenge and whether it actually works amid the growing craze for oatmeal shakes.

Various social media platforms constantly introduce new fashion trends, but TikTok is renowned for generating the most viral ones. A new trend has recently taken the video-sharing platform by storm- the Oatzempic challenge. The name of the trend is a healthier version of the popular weight loss drug Ozempic. TikTokers are spotted sipping on oatmeal drinks to shed pounds instead of grabbing those fancy shots, which often come with a bunch of nastiness.

How does the Oatzempic challenge work on TikTok?

The new challenge involves people attempting to shed up to 40 pounds in two months by drinking a smoothie, which consists of instant oats, water, and lime juice, with the aid of a fitness tracker. TikTokers who are participating in the Oatzempic challenge are urged to drink the drink every day for eight weeks. Many claim that they have successfully dropped several dress sizes.

The second day of the Oatzempic Challenge saw 2.7 million views thanks to a TikTok user’s update. A fitness coach who uses the TikTok handle @believeandachievefitbodi also lauded the viral concoction. The results surprised Anne, she said. Anne said in a video posted on Day 6 of the challenge that her appetite was suppressed. Absolutely, absolutely.

I didn’t feel hungry all day…It makes me feel full and doesn’t make me want anything. It’s cutting out the blasting and regulating everything in my digestive system, she said.

Do you lose weight by sipping oatmeal water?

The Oatzempic challenge and whether it actually works were discussed by doctors amid the growing craze for oatmeal shakes. A fun way to get people to eat a healthy, nutritious breakfast is what the oatzempics are doing, according to the New York Post.

Martin gave the challenge a green light for its health benefits, but he explained that 40 pounds is a lot of weight to lose. Martin added that, unless you go from eating an extremely high-calorie breakfast to this Oatzempic drink, you will only see some weight loss, but probably not 40 pounds.

It is possible that you will move your bowels more frequently if you eat oatmeal and drink more water. Losing weight can be helped by pooping more. Martin cautioned those taking on the challenge to be cautious of overly ambitious targets.

OatZempic doesn’t compare to Ozempic in any way. Ozempic has multiple mechanisms of action that help people lose weight and live healthier lives, and oatmeal is just a health food that might help put you into a calorie deficit.
