Low Cal beverages

One easy swap is to not drink your calories. But it does help to stay hydrated, especially if you work out a lot.

Liquid calories are often not satisfying so why waste the cals?.... if this is you, here are some things I am trying:

Water. Iced water, warm water.

Broth- 5 cal bouillon cubes

Tea- Cold brew & hot. Try everything & find your favorites.

Monster ultras- 10 cals

Water mix-ins like Mio.

Crystal light or similar packs

LMNT electrolyte replacements- YUM

Ultima-another electrolyte brand

Coffee- Yum.

Skinny coffee syrups. I'm Boujee.

TrueLime packets. Quite refreshing.

Boost shots (transform-Chris & Heidi Powell's company)

Instead of booze, I have been drinking NA beverage replacements. My favorites are hiyo, recess, & moment

I do diet soda too. 1 can of like a Dr pepper zero strawberry n cream in the afternoon, when I crave a sweet. I used to go to an ice cream replacement or a protein (candy!) Bar. I do non caffeinated in the evening, especially helpful for CBD time.

Try everything. Use whatever works to stay hydrated. I realize in my old age that I was definitely not hydrated most of my life.

I realized that for whatever reason, I could not drink alcohol, even on just a weekend basis and be successful on a weight loss journey.

Any drinks at all- even a moderate 2 white claw evening Friday or Saturday would completely stall me.

Sometimes you have to figure out what is holding you back.

my job is reactivating and rehabilitating patients in post surgery care and one of the first things i tell them once they've tried to drink some juice and stand on their legs without throwing up is "every bite is a good bite" and i think that's a good sentiment for everyone

#i tell them “if you have to eat 5 panacottas and nothing else today then that's a win” and then i give them panacottas #actually it's not a win bc they need way more than that #5 panacottas and a few supplementary nutritional drinks and then we're all set #caramel flavoured chocolate pudding is also a good option #an option anyone outside a hospital would discourage to be the only thing you eat in a day. but we will nag and bug you until you eat 2 #ive seen a lot of people here on tumblr talk about the need for a neutral food view #that morals don't exist in food #and it's true #to become healthy after your body has kind of been under the greatest toll ever (stomach open wide) there is no such thing as bad food #pickapost #tho of course you will develop some health issues if you don't have a proper diet #like scurvy or kidney stones #that's no good #or blood fats that will lead to health issues later in life #but compared to malnutrition those are irrelevant #nutrition comes first otherwise you cannot live #and when it comes to nutrition every bite is a good bite

A nice story! Previously, Lawson's policy was that its hot-case foods had to sell within several hours of cooking or they'd be thrown out, despite still being good to eat. Now, food that's past its sell-by time (but within its shelf life) gets popped into the freezer right away to preserve freshness and is donated to facilities for food-insecure children.

#another point toward lawson being my favorite conbini #(though 7-11 has better bento #and famima has better chicken)#however!#1. natural lawson #(sister chain with healthy/organic options)#2. lawson 100 #(discount sister chain with decent grocery options!)#3. they generally have good drinks #4. now this!

that quiz that's like what's your relationship to alcohol has the most reductive options

#the only options for not having a drinking problem are abstinence and 'i drink socially'#do people think that drinking by yourself sometimes means you have a drinking problem #or that drinking socially inherently means you have a healthy relationship with alcohol

Good on the WHO for holding Coca Cola accountable in some way, but I don't want to see anyone giving people who still drink it a hard time. Some people are diabetic. Some people find it helps them with migraines. Some people desperately need caffeine and find it their least objectionable option. If you wouldn't give someone crap for drinking a beer every day, don't jump in to "Um actually" people who choose to drink diet soda

#this may be early for a complaint about it but the 'aspartame causes cancer' factoid has been a thing for a long time now #this is not new information #chances are that ppl drinking diet soda are making an informed choice #I have spent years having to justify drinking diet cola over sugared options bc people keep bringing this up to me #they only lay off when I tell them I have a family history of diabetes #I shouldn't have to disclose my medical history to be left alone over a soda #maybe inform them if they have explicitly expressed concern over finding healthy drink options #but if they haven't brought it up just let them drink

Investigating “Oatzempic”

This Controversial New Diet Drink Is The Talk of TikTok, But Does It Actually Work?

— By Peta Bee | July 5, 2024

It was never going to be long before social media invented a natural alternative to the much-hyped “miracle” weight-loss injectable of the drug semaglutide, best known by its brand name Ozempic. And indeed hot on its heels comes a wellness trend in the form of an oat-based drink that will supposedly curb your appetite and lead to dramatic weight loss. “Oatzempic,” as the DIY drink is being dubbed, is made by blending half a glass of rolled oats, a glass of water, a dash of cinnamon and a squeeze of lime juice. As rudimentary and unlikely as it sounds, it has amassed a cult following, with 40 million views on TikTok as well as before-and-after posts on Instagram. Some are claiming it has helped them to shed several pounds in time to achieve a “summer bod.”

All you need to do, Oatzempic converts claim, is to drink it a few times a day and it will fill you up, keeping hunger pangs at bay and miraculously melting away the pounds.

Is this a literal solution to the impact that obesity is having on the nation’s workforce, with a study reporting recently that severely obese adults were more than twice as likely to have had at least one week off with poor health in the past year, compared with those of a healthy weight? Of course not. Dr. Linia Patel, a registered dietitian and spokeswoman for the British Dietetic Association, describes the craze as “madness,” and Rhiannon Lambert, a registered nutritionist and author of The Science of Plant-Based Nutrition, says, “It’s a bizarre phenomenon and there’s nothing miraculous that’s going to come from drinking a glass of blended oats and water.”

However, there is a kernel of scientific truth hidden in the hype.

“Oats are rich in soluble fiber, particularly beta-glucan, which forms a gel-like substance in the digestive tract that may then help to slow down your digestion,” Patel says. “This can lead to an increased feeling of fullness and satisfaction after eating. Oats can help regulate hunger and appetite, but they are by no means a miracle weight-loss aid.”

Significant studies suggest otherwise, though. In 2016 a large review of 58 published papers in the BMJ reported that eating 3.5g a day of oat beta glucan fiber—equivalent to the amount in a bowl of oatmeal and a couple of oatcakes—lowered markers of cardiovascular disease. These included a 4.2 percent reduction in “bad” LDL cholesterol levels. And two years ago an analysis involving nearly 5,000 overweight people with raised cholesterol conducted by a team of European cardiologists concluded that an oat-eating habit resulted in better blood fat profiles.

“It is well documented that the consumption of beta-glucan within oats significantly reduces LDL cholesterol profiles,” Lambert says. “And since that is a determinant of someone’s risk of developing cardiovascular disease we can conclude that, for most of us, oats are good for our hearts.”

One Dietitian Calls The Craze “Madness.” Another Says It “Can Help Regulate Hunger and Appetite.”

Oats have also come under fire for causing sugar spikes in those monitoring their blood sugar levels. But Dr. Duane Mellor, a registered dietitian and senior teaching fellow at Aston University medical school, says that anti-oat messages have no basis in science. It’s “a normal part of digestion” for blood sugar to rise after we eat carbohydrate-rich foods including oats, Mellor says, and they are classified as a medium glycemic index (GI) food, meaning they are absorbed more slowly than white bread and refined cereals. Any food with a medium or low GI is thought to sustain appetite and reduce hunger pangs better than ultra-processed and high GI foods.

“Most research overwhelmingly shows that oats are beneficial for our health in many ways,” Mellor says. “No food is perfect and no food is a magic bullet for health, but in general oats fit neatly into a well-balanced diet.” Here’s what they can (and can’t) do.

Will Eating Oats Really Help You To Lose Weight?

With their medium GI and beta-glucan fiber content, “adding oats in your diet can help regulate hunger and appetite,” Patel says. Oats contain about 380 calories and about 0.2oz of unsaturated fat per 3.5oz, and a bowl of oatmeal made with 7oz of skim milk provides about 280 calories, but the fiber means you are less likely to snack or overeat after consuming them.

One of the reasons people following the oatzempic trend may have lost weight is because they used the drink as a meal replacement and it filled them up. But you don’t need to blend oats into a drink to get the benefits—overnight oats, oatmeal and oatcakes will all bring benefits. A review of evidence in the journal Current Nutrition Reports last year found oat consumption to be beneficial for weight management and appetite control. That paper also highlighted oats as benefiting a healthy gut microbiome, which has been associated with weight loss and a reduced risk of obesity by other researchers.

“Beta-glucans are also a prebiotic and support the ‘good’ bugs in your gut to grow,” Patel says. “There is more and more evidence showing that a healthy, diverse community of gut bugs not only help with better digestion but are involved in appetite control as well as hormone regulation and risk of diseases.”

Do Oats Contain “Anti-Nutrients?”

So-called anti-nutrients are compounds naturally present in plant-based foods that reduce the body’s ability to absorb nutrients from food. Oats do contain phytic acid, found in abundance in the bran part of the oat grain, which binds to minerals including zinc, magnesium, calcium and manganese, making it difficult for your body to absorb them. However, this is not problematic if you eat an otherwise healthy diet. Lambert says the health gains from oats being a medium GI and high-fiber wholegrain outweigh any potential effects of nutrient malabsorption.

“As oats are not a natural source of these micronutrients, there is less of a reason to worry about this inhibition,” Lambert says. “A top tip is to pair your bowl of oats or granola with a fresh orange, as the vitamin C found in oranges is known to aid iron absorption and therefore cancels out the effect of the phytic acid.” You can also try soaking oats overnight, which reduces anti-nutrient levels.

Is Oat Milk a Healthy Option?

Unless you opt for oat milk because you have a cow’s milk or lactose intolerance, choosing an oat milk latte may have fewer health benefits than you think. Commercial oat milks are made from the liquid left when oats are soaked in water. They can be highly processed and some are sweetened. All are lower in protein than cow’s milk. While oat milk does contain some fiber, it is not in impressive amounts. An average serving of a commercial oat milk provides 0.07oz of fiber, less than 10 percent of the daily requirement for adults (1oz). Lambert suggests you look for an oat milk that is fortified with iodine, calcium and, preferably, vitamin B12 and vitamin D.

Are Some Oats Better For You Than Others?

Instant oatmeal and sachets are more highly processed and some contain high levels of added sugar, which cause more pronounced blood sugar spikes. Coarse, jumbo or steel-cut oats (also known as Irish oats) are minimally processed and have a slightly lower glycemic index than rolled oats, so will have less impact on blood sugar levels. The addition of a little fat or protein will cause a less dramatic rise and fall in blood glucose levels, keeping you feeling fuller for longer.

“In my clinical practice I find that many people begin the day with a low protein intake,” Patel says. “Since protein also has a positive impact on glycemic index, if you opt for oats in the morning make sure you take them with milk, some nuts or seeds, or stir in some Greek yogurt or even an egg to boost the overall protein content of your breakfast.”

It is worth paying extra for organic oat products. “They typically will have much lower glyphosate contaminates from herbicides put on the crop to kill weeds,” Patel says.

Are Oats OK if You Have a Gluten Intolerance?

According to the National Health Service, oats do not contain gluten. However, they are often avoided by people with celiac disease, a serious medical condition in which the immune system attacks the body’s own tissues when gluten is consumed. This avoidance is largely because oats are often produced in the same factories as wheat, barley and rye, which carries a risk of gluten contamination.

Oats do contain avenin, a protein similar to gluten, and according to the charity Coeliac UK this can cause sensitivities in a small percentage of people with the condition. For most people with a non-celiac gluten sensitivity, choosing gluten-free oats is an option, although you will need to check labels carefully. Oat products described as “gluten-free” will have passed tests to prove they contain 20 parts per million or less of gluten, and thus meet the UK’s legal standards for gluten-free labeling.

Been playing Vampyr lately (not a recommendation)

#Sel talks #I wouldn't call it good per-say. But I am having fun #Love picking apart the options it gives for the main character #“None of these options are good/what I want him to say; but I can see where he's coming from”#Love picking apart the moral quandries of vampires instead of my own 👍#I have Chosen Wrong when dealing with the pillars in the surrounding communities and are essentially dead.#This makes it difficult to keep said communities “healthy” and more likely that they'll “fall”#Which made it tempting to make it fall and get the exp from it (which I wouldn't get if I let it fall)#But! I am trying my best to keep them afloat by being a little erand boy and running headache and cold medicine around #Which is tedious!!#The map is too big and there are so many goonies running around trying to kill me #But I am trying!#Really mad about the second pillar tho; probably going into spoilers for a 5 y/o game #Like I didn't really understand the implications for my choice on the first pillar; but I was so sure about Sean!#Like he found solice in what he'd become; why should I be policing his choices when I was just as destructive if not more so?#I had no clue about how long he'd been turned! It seemed like he may have helped organize the skals in the sewers??#Which couldn't have been done in a single night #Was I so wrong to believe him when he'd say he'd only eat the flesh of corpses (especially when they're in the middle of a pandemic??)#So mad #Why should I have made the decision to turn him into something else without his consent #This game is sending a lot of mixed signals #Oh!

He wasn't trustworthy!! Now he's turned 3 citizens :(#The framing is. Not The Best #To be clear! I am not recommending this!#I am having fun twisting it in a way it probably shouldn't be played that is probably only fun to me #Running the tedious hard mode by completing citizen quests; running around w drugs; not using ranged attacks; and not drinking any blood 👍#It's getting to the point where it feels like the gap of “level I'm supposed to be” and my actual level is getting to be more of a problem
