This delicious vegan oatmeal cookies recipe for weight loss boosts the powerful effects of beta-glucans.
If you want to turn your baking into a multipurpose weight loss factory while simultaneously boosting your gut, well studies show this simple oatmeal cookie recipe may be the jam.
That’s because the popular weight loss drug Ozempic — most folks have heard of it by now — casts a bird’s eye view into the reactions of beta glucans (BG), which, after fermentation in the gut, release the short-chain fatty acid known as butyrate.
Well the reason that’s important is because butyrate, the end result of eating beta-glucan-rich foods, fuels a glucagon-like peptide called GLP-1, “which is the natural protein that synthetic drugs like Ozempic mimic to stimulate insulin release,” says Science Alert.
The good news is it’s tastier — and more fun! — to eat delicious oatmeal cookies made with beta-glucans. Namely, barley and oats, the top two food sources.

How Does Beta-Glucan Fiber Promote Weight Loss?
Fiber is already known to be immensely healthy for the gut, from prebiotic and probiotic to soluble, insoluble, pectin, cellulose, inulin, and resistant starch. Which is clearly why a plant-based diet is so healthy, since most diseases begin in the gut.
Scientist Dr. Frank Duca and his colleagues conducted studies on the various fibers, revealing that beta-glucan is unique in its ability to promote weight loss. It increases the number of ileibacterium in the gut, which fuels energy expenditure and releases butyrate.
Other studies have shown similar results.
More Beta-Glucan/Butyrate Benefits
Beta-glucans and butyrate also boost heart-health, gut-health, the immune system, and your brain. They improve cholesterol, type 2 diabetes, and intracellular connections.
Studies show that beta-glucan foods and supplements are even helpful in cancer prevention.
