The Oatzempic Diet (Blender/Heath)
Resending this as I had failure messages Interesting article on oat based smoothie. I also like to make protein smoothies with milk, vanilla protein powder, chia seeds, and ice cubes plus additions. For the additionss I often use banana in combination with either peanut butter -OR- cold coffee. Fruit is a great addition too, per your taste. --Ginny https://www.webmd.com/obesity/what-is-oatzempic-diet How to make the “Oatzempic” drink Blend 1/2 cup oats, 1 cup water, and juice from half a lime until smooth. Add cinnamon if you like. The Oatzempic Diet Medically Reviewed by Zilpah Sheikh, MD on September 23, 2024 Written by Angela McPhillips What Is Oatzempic? Oatzempic — a blended oat drink — is a viral social media diet trend. It's also a clever reference to the popular weight loss drug, Ozempic (semaglutide, also known as Wegovy). Many claim that, like Ozempic, drinking Oatzempic daily decreases your appetite and helps you shed pounds fast. But does this viral trend live up to the hype? Read on to learn how to make Oatzempic, its potential benefits, and what to know about including this trendy drink in your nutrition journey. How to make the “Oatzempic” drink Blend 1/2 cup oats, 1 cup water, and juice from half a lime until smooth. Add cinnamon if you like. Oatzempic is a blend of oats, water, and lime juice. (Photo Credit: iStock/Getty Images) How Does Oatzempic Work? Oats, the key ingredient in this limey drink, contain lots of fiber, which helps you feel fuller for longer. This means you might be less likely to snack between meals. If you snack less, you’re consuming fewer calories than you’re used to. And this may naturally result in some weight loss. Plus, you’re swapping a meal (such as breakfast) to sip Oatzempic instead. At around 150 calories, this might be a lower-calorie alternative to your usual breakfast. Oatzempic Benefits “Everything about oats is really healthy and really good for you,” says Kathleen Zelman, MPH, RDN, a registered dietician nutritionist. She explains oats contain beta-glucan, a fiber that turns into a gel when combined with water, which helps slow digestion. Slower digestion leads to feeling full. This can help reduce your appetite. Oatzempic for weight loss Like most viral social media trends, there’s little research to back up Oatzempic weight loss claims. But scientific studies show that oats, when eaten as part of a balanced diet, are beneficial. They can regulate your appetite, lower blood cholesterol levels, and support gut health. When eaten as part of a balanced diet, oats can help you lose weight. Swapping processed foods with a blended oat drink helps you cut calories and provides vital nutrients, vitamins, and fiber — a choice you can feel good about, no matter your weight loss goal. Related:Understanding Obesity: Key Facts Oatzempic Considerations The CDC recommends slow and steady weight loss of 1-2 pounds per week. People who lose weight gradually are more likely to keep the weight off. Although the claim that Oatzempic can help you lose 40 pounds in 8 weeks may sound appealing, such rapid weight loss isn’t sustainable. Drastically cutting calories may lead to weight loss but can also cause extreme hunger and low energy levels, explains Zelman. This unsustainable approach will probably lead you back to your starting point because you haven’t formed any long-term healthy habits — a common result of quick-fix weight loss trends. Weight loss involves more than just the foods you eat. If you want to lose weight, focus on gradual improvements through healthy habits and smart nutrition choices in your daily routine. Zelman says it’s important to look at your current diet, lifestyle, stress levels, and exercise and sleep patterns. These factors contribute to health, including weight loss. Rather than relying on a diet trend to lose weight, take steps to improve your overall health, such as: Exercise regularly. Eat a balanced diet of nutritious foods. Get 7-9 hours of sleep a night. Manage stress by doing activities that help you relax and recharge. Oatzempic Alternatives Oatzempic

Place the second cake layer on top of the first, cut side down, so that you have a flat top to the cake. Cover the top and sides of the cake with the remaining frosting. Place 12 pecan halves evenly around the outer edge of the cake. If desired, add some chopped pecans around the bottom edge of the cake. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
