Unlike Ozempic, “Oatzempic” isn't medication or scientifically-proven. Here's what a doctor and dietitian think of TikTok's viral 'Oatzempic' drink.
So-called “wellness” hacks may come and go, but unfortunately diet culture is forever. And it's trends like TikTok's latest obsession with the “Oatzempic” drink that can—and do—perpetuate the latter. Oatzempic—a mixed beverage that social media users claim helps with weight loss—isn't anything new or groundbreaking. Nor does the TikTok disinformation cycle have any shortage of controversial or unsubstantiated beauty fads and nutritional claims.
“There is very limited research to support the efficacy of the diet for weight loss and other health benefits,” she says. “It can also be difficult to sustain in the long term: Often, it can lead to rapid weight loss and regain. This sort of weight cycling can cause metabolic abnormalities that make it even harder to lose weight later on.” Dr. Cardel also notes that while intermittent fasting can work in theory, it's not at all necessary for weight management.
