I had always been trim throughout my life but I find now that the pounds and inches have squated on my waist, shoulders and hips. I walk 20 mins everyday with the dog. My diet is strange as I not only have allergies but I cannot cook (too painful). I want my waist back. Any advice would be helpful. I list my allergies for you. Herbs and spices, Pesticides and fertizers, Fish. I also suffer from Irritable Bowel. I take Co-Dydramol for the pain and I don't sleep very well.
Most of the calories that they do have in them come from carbs. From studies of human weight loss, we know that a high-carb diet makes you hungry, and that seemed to be the case for my overweight dog.
My chunky dog is much happier with a high-protein food. She was constantly hungry on the "diet" dog food. I ended up putting her on kibble that is 30% protein and 12% fat.
There are some weight loss supplements that help curb your appetite, but you probably don't want to take them, because they have really undesirable side effects. Most of the others that claim to work, don't and if they do, you'll gain back any weight lost, as soon as you stop taking them.
The best way to lose weight is by implementing a healthy diet and exercise program. We can help you do that, if you like.
If your dog's Cushing's is appropriately controlled on Vetoryl, then I would suggest testing her for hypothyroidism, which can also cause weight gain. If the thyroid testing is normal, then I would recommend talking to your veterianarian about a prescription reducing diet such as Royal Canin Restricted Calorie, Purina OM, or Hill's R/D. While on the reducing diet, she should be fed the precise measured amount recommended by your veterinarian, and be weighed every 2 weeks.
Hi there
I can see that you are very frustrated – for good reason. Did you know that exercising is not necessarily the best way to loose weight or keep it off? You are doing what so many people have done and most have had the same sad result – no weight loss. Sometimes, they have even gained more weight. Please know that exercise is not the main contributor to weight loss.

Hello,
I completely agree with Dr. Humphries comments above and wanted to add a couple thoughts.
In older dogs, personality changes may also be an early sign of an internal problem.
We don't advocate the HCG diet on this forum. You might try asking your question on the Weight Loss Alternatives forum.
So I decided to switch him on a RAW diet. Before switching him he was 60 lbs, so he was losing lots of weight. I immediately saw positive results on the RAW diet. Not once did I see him scratch/bite his skin and hotspots stopped growing. His appetite was much much better. Good news ends here. He still had loose stools and continued losing weight. His poop was mucusy and yellow (looks exactly like melted caramel).
I felt the best on a low carb diet and lost weight, but the first week was torture. I couldn't even get out of bed for a couple of days when I first started it. I started on a Thursday, felt okay (a little weak) on Friday, and horrible over the weekend. The timing was great, because I was fine on Monday, when I started back to work.
I stayed on this diet for about a year (didn't exercise) and lost 28 pounds. However, I grew tired of the food selection, and quit.
For the past 3 weeks, I've been trying to loose weight but I haven't really lost any weight yet. I Do cardio workouts every other day every week. and the days that I don't work out, I walk my dog around my neighborhood for 30 minutes. I'm planning on loosing weight over the summer. I'm a female and am currently 14 years old. My height is 5 ft and my weight is 134 pounds. My doctor told me that I'm overweight for my age and height.
I recently consulted with a weight loss doctor who prescribed a sensible diet (moderately low carb) and the medication Adipex. That combination was magic for me. The diet resulted in rapid weight loss, and the prescribed medication made it easier for me to follow the diet. I did have to follow up often with my physician, but the results are worth it!
Just cutting the soda out of your diet you will see some resold but it will take longer. If you want best results watch what you eat. Find low cal food. Diet soda will not work. You also want to include resistance training as well. For me I do cardio, resistance training and diet. I have been loosing 1-3 lbs per week.
It was very sad to see our sweet baby wasting away, and not knowing what to do except rely on our vet to know waht was best. Unfortunately she did not make the best decision for him and it cost us the loss of our pet. As a result he ended up weighing only 5 lbs, we decided his condition to far gone, and he was suffering, so we made the difficult decision to put him to sleep. Don't wait, take your baby to a good vet, who can determine whats causing the muscle loss.
