Oatzempic, the viral weight loss drink.

Yes, this "weight loss drink" is going viral, not just on TikTok, but now appearing as "news" in outlets like Forbes and the New York Post.

Some people claim that you can lose up to 40lbs in 2 months.

40lbs in 2 months? That’s wild. What is the secret?

Oatzempic is made of oats, water, and lime juice.

That’s it.

Except it has a catchy name, that sounds like "Ozempic" lol. (Ozempic is the brand name for semaglutide, also sold as Wegovy).

As far as viral weight loss crazes go, this is simply a case of eating a tiny bit of something nutritious and exaggerating the holy ball bags off it to make it sound incredible.

If you substitute a meal with this, of course you can lose weight. That is precisely how meal replacement diets work, and also that old Special K diet where you were told to replace two of your biggest meals with a small bowl of cereal lol.

Yes, oats are nutritious and can be a great thing to consume, especially if replacing more refined grains. But they are not, never have been, and never will be, a replacement for a weight loss/diabetes pharmaceutical.

Once again, this viral weight loss trend is a swing and a miss.
