The Oatzempic Challenge, a TikTok trend involving a blended oat drink, has gained attention for its purported weight loss benefits, with claims of significant weight loss in a short period.

Additionally, fizzy, sugary drinks and alcoholic beverages should be avoided, with experts recommending adding fruits and herbs to sparkling water or mixing it with a dash of hard liquor.

Nutritionists and dietitians reveal that they generally avoid beverages and processed foods high in added sugar and salt in their own lives. They opt for whole foods like vegetables, fruits, and whole grains instead. Sweet drinks, including sodas and sports drinks, are highly caloric and linked to obesity and heart disease. Foods high in sodium, such as cured meats and canned soups, can lead to heart health issues. Ultraprocessed foods containing saturated fat, like packaged cookies and crackers, raise the risk of obesity, heart disease, and other chronic diseases.
