Oat Milk: Does it Aid in Weight Loss?

Oat Milk has become popular among vegan, dairy-free and health-conscious drinker in recent years. But does it have a weight-loss benefit? This article seeks to answer that question, and to provide information about MYFITAPE’s weight loss services.

How Oat Milk Can Help with Weight Loss

Oat milk has a much lower overall calorie count than cow’s milk and therefore makes for an excellent choice for those on a weight-loss journey. Additionally, unsweetened oat milk is made from oats, which contain a type of soluble fibre known as Beta-Glucan. This fibre helps keep you full and reduces hunger cravings, aiding in weight loss.

Moreover, oat milk can be a great substitute for those on a dairy-free diet due to its creamy texture and mild taste. If you’re watching your calorie intake, we recommend switching to unsweetened oat milk as sweetened oat milk variants contain more added sugar, and therefore more calories, which hinders weight loss efforts.

Does oat milk contain fewer calories than other non-dairy milk varieties?

Yes, oat milk typically contains fewer calories than other non-dairy milk varieties. Oat milk typically contains about 70–90 calories per cup, compared to almond milk, which contains about 40 calories per cup, and coconut milk, which contains about 45 calories per cup.

Does regularly consuming oat milk lead to a decrease in body weight?

There is no clear evidence that consuming oat milk regularly leads to a decrease in body weight. However, studies have shown that dairy-free oat milk is lower in calories and saturated fats compared to cow’s milk, which may be beneficial for helping maintain a healthy weight. Additionally, oat milk is higher in carbohydrates compared to other non-dairy milks, contributing to the feeling of fullness, leading to a decreased calorie intake in the long run. Therefore, regularly consuming oat milk may lead to a decrease in body weight indirectly.

How does oat milk compare in terms of nutrient content to other non-dairy milks?

Oat milk is a great alternative to other non-dairy milks, as it is a good source of Folate, Vitamin D, and Iron, as well as being high in dietary fiber and low in saturated fat. Compared to other non-dairy milks, such as almond and coconut, oat milk contains more carbohydrates, as well as more protein than almond milk, but less than coconut milk. It also has a higher fat content than all other non-dairy milks. Additionally, oat milk is fortified with calcium, which is not the case with almond, coconut, and other plant-based milks.
