"Unveiling the Oat Smoothie Hack: A New Trend in Hunger-Killing Weight Loss"

The latest diet trend, known as 'Oat-Zempic', involves consuming blended oats to achieve hunger-suppressing effects similar to the drug Ozempic. Experts suggest that various foods can elicit similar effects by triggering the release of the 'fullness' hormone GLP-1, including lentils, beans, minestrone soup, apples, sprouts, broccoli, cottage cheese, and lean proteins like eggs and fish. These foods are high in protein, fiber, and water, making them filling while costing few calories, and may help manage weight and reduce future appetite.

"Blitzed-Up Oats: A Weight Loss Alternative to Ozempic?"

Dieters are claiming that a blend of oats, water, cinnamon, and lime, dubbed "Oat-Zempic," can mimic the weight loss effects of the drug Ozempic. Social media users have reported weight loss success with this trend, but experts caution that it's essentially just consuming a bowl of oatmeal and may not replicate the drug's effects. While the oat drink may help with weight loss by keeping individuals fuller for longer, nutritionists warn against replacing meals with it, as it may lead to nutrient deficiencies and inadequate calorie intake.

The Science Behind the 'One Meal a Day' Diet: Risks and Rewards

The "one meal a day" diet (OMAD) has gained popularity among celebrities, but there is limited scientific evidence on its effects. While intermittent fasting and time-restricted eating have shown some health benefits, the impact of OMAD remains unclear. A study found that participants who ate one meal a day experienced weight and fat loss, but also reductions in lean mass and bone density. Animal studies have shown conflicting results. Meeting nutritional requirements can be challenging with OMAD, potentially leading to muscle loss, constipation, and poor gut health. This diet is not recommended for children, pregnant or breastfeeding individuals, or those at risk of eating disorders. For most people, OMAD may be unsustainable and potentially harmful in the long run.

"Nutritionist's Guide: TikTok Diet Trends for Safe and Effective Weight Loss"

A nutritionist warns that many diet trends on TikTok lack scientific evidence and can promote unhealthy relationships with food. She debunks the claims of lettuce water aiding sleep and lemon coffee aiding weight loss, stating that there is no conclusive evidence to support these claims. While dipping cucumber in stevia may taste like watermelon for some, it is better to opt for the fruit itself. Juice diets can lead to initial weight loss but may result in weight gain once regular eating resumes. The nutritionist recommends trying the TikTok trend of making Kimchi, which has been shown to benefit gut health. Swapping bagels for cucumber may be suitable for those following a ketogenic diet, but wholegrain or rye bagels are a better choice for gut health.
