Many TikTokers are going viral online because they claim that they have found a cheaper and supposedly "safer" alternative to the diabetes drug.
To break it down, there is no scientific evidence that Rice-zempic significantly aids weight loss.
While rice water has some nutritional benefits, it may not accelerate your weight loss journey.
If you ask me, I always vouch for intermittent fasting whenever it comes to effective weight loss diet plans.
Additionally, I like to do cardio for 30 minutes daily and start the morning with green tea or hot lemon water.
The internet has apparently found a dupe for Ozempic, which was originally developed to treat Type 2 diabetes but many use it for its weight loss benefits despite several medical warnings. Many TikTokers are going viral online because they claim that they have found a cheaper and supposedly "safer" alternative to the diabetes drug. Yes, I am talking about - Rice-zempic - which is currently taking social media platforms by storm.
The big questions are - Does it actually work? Is it safe? Should you try it? Before we discuss its effectiveness, let's find out what the trend is all about.
Despite its high cost and potential side effects, Ozempic has become a go-to choice of celebrities for weight loss, all thanks to the drastic and rapid results the drug offers. Meanwhile, netizens have been obsessed with finding the perfect dupe for the Type 2 diabetes drug and some are claiming that they have finally found one - Rice-zempic.
Rice-zempic, as the name suggests, is a concoction made of rice, water and lemon, which apparently offers weight loss results comparable to Ozempic without the hefty price tag. While Ozempic costs $935 monthly and needs a doctor’s prescription, Rice-zempic just requires three common kitchen ingredients.
How to make the concoction?
All you need to do is add unwashed rice and lemon juice in warm water and wait for 20 to 30 minutes. You can also leave the mixture overnight and consume it the next morning.
What are the claims?
TikTokers are claiming that they feel less hungry throughout the day after consuming the concoction and have lost up to 14 pounds in seven days.
Are the claims true?
To break it down, there is no scientific evidence that Rice-zempic significantly aids weight loss. While rice water has some nutritional benefits, it may not accelerate your weight loss journey. Since the concoction has lemon which is full of antioxidants, it may help reduce weight gain but you can get the same benefits from just hot lemon water. Rice-zempic can make for a perfect morning drink but don't get your hopes high because it simply doesn't have Ozempic's hormonal power.
So how can you actually lose weight?
If you ask me, I always vouch for intermittent fasting whenever it comes to effective weight loss diet plans. Timing my meals has helped me stay in shape and shed extra kilos after every indulgent meal. Additionally, I like to do cardio for 30 minutes daily and start the morning with green tea or hot lemon water.
