Ozemic effects can be found in these everyday foods: expert

Go ahead, give it a shot.

Ozempic and other game-changing weight loss medications are popular for a reason—but, nutrition experts say, don’t forget the all-natural, everyday foods that were out there by controlling your appetite first.

Writing for Eat This, Not That!, dietician Gillean Barkyoumb suggests that trendy injections that mimic the hormone GLP-1, designed to keep users feeling full longer – by sending “satiety signals to the brain” – in fact they have some very common (and much more affordable) equivalents in our diets.

“Certain foods can naturally activate similar pathways,” Barkyoumb explained — helping to curb cravings and manage your intake.

Take oatmeal, for example—the breakfast staple has been eaten for centuries for a reason, apparently.

Oats are packed with soluble fiber, especially beta-glucan, which helps slow digestion and increases satiety, Barkyoumb said.

“By forming a gel-like substance in the stomach, oats delay stomach emptying, keeping you fuller longer. This mimics the way GLP-1 drugs prolong the digestive process, reducing the frequency and intensity of hunger,” she continued.

In fact, The Post reported earlier, some TikTokers who turned to a natural concoction called “Oatzempic” ended up losing 40 pounds in just two months.

Meanwhile, high-protein Greek yogurt is another winner, the pros said, noting that “protein takes longer to digest than carbohydrates, helping curb appetite,” she said.

Research suggests that protein “may increase the natural secretion of GLP-1, which increases satiety,” Barkyoumb found.

Lentils are full of fiber, which “slows digestion,” once again replicating the effect of GLP-1 drugs, at a cost of a cent per meal, versus the $250 a week or more some Americans pay when they can’t get . insurance to cover expensive shots.

Apples made the list thanks to pectin, “a type of soluble fiber that expands in the stomach and delays digestion,” said the diet diva.

And eggs — a daily favorite in many American families — can also be seen as a weight-loss aid, the pro explained, for the same reason as Greek yogurt: lots of protein.

Other foods to try include avocado, barley, chia seeds and dark leafy greens like kale and spinach, according to the expert.
