Q&A: Is Science Diet good cat food?

Question by Samantha: Is Science Diet good cat food?
We adopted a shelter cat and they gave us Science Diet for free. However the lady working at the shelter whispered she wouldn’t keep the cat on it she didn’t think it was good. I thought that was one of the top foods? I am confused. Please shed light on best foods. I lost cats in the past and have every intention of treating this one totally right starting with the food!

Vets claim it is, the company claims it is, but look at the ingredients. The first few ingredients should be MEAT – not by-products or meal. And its got far too much corn and other grains.

On a scale of 1-10 (10 being top quality) I would put Science Diet at a 4 or 5. Its overpriced for the quality.

If you want a healthy cat in the long run, go with Wellness, Blue Buffalo, Natural Balance, Royal Canin, Max Cat for much better foods.

In fact, cats really should have both dry and canned each day and raw 2-3 times a week. Also male cats can have more UTI problems eating dry food all the time.

Nutri grain bars are healthy and easy to just grab and go, I also really like rice, it is a great side dish, go for brown rice instead of white!

What are some good ideas for following a new alkaline diet plan?

Question by : What are some good ideas for following a new alkaline diet plan?
Due to fatigue and constipation, I recently started a new alkaline diet plan. I am having trouble planning meals and figuring out which foods I should eat and which ones to avoid with this new diet. If I am changing my life with the alkaline diet plan, I want to be sure to do it right. I need suggestions and tips to stay on track with my diet.

Best answer:

Answer by Erick
An alkaline diet can be very tricky and confusing until you get on track. Salad is always a good idea for this diet. Try to find dark leafy greens to add to your salad rather than iceburg lettuce. Iceburg lettuce does not have as high of a nutrient content. Furthermore, try some fresh fruit with your salad or as a snack. Fruits are a great choice for a high alkaline diet, as they are high in fiber. Fiber rich foods will help with your constipation.

In order to keep acid levels down in vegetables, be sure to not overcook them. High alkaline foods are better when eaten raw or steamed. If you overcook the food, it could turn acidy. Next suggestion is to limit you amount of sugar and flour. This includes avoiding or limiting breads, pastas, rice, bread, and noodles. Also it is a good idea to avoid dairy products when possible. Dairy products can cause extra acid in the body. Finally, it is important to avoid sugary drinks such as soda. When possible drink water or a healthy green tea. Good luck with the new diet.

Q&A: Is corn a good dieting food because most of it can not be digested?

Question by laneydm: Is corn a good dieting food because most of it can not be digested?
I think due to it’s cellulose most of corn, or at least the wrapping on each corn, can not be digested, and just simply passes through the body. Does this make it a good dieting food due to people being able to eat so much of it without digesting too much carbs?

Best answer:

Answer by MonaLisa Overdrive AM VT wannabe
Only the very thin outside layer of the kernel is cellulose. The rest is VERY highly concentrated calories, mostly carbohydrates. It is a TERRIBLE diet food. There is a reason we use corn to fatten up beef cattle.

One small cup of corn has 123 grams of carbs, 8 grams of fat and 606 calories! Thats’ ‘with nothing on it!

Has your cat lost a good amount of wieght on diet food?

Question by Jacob’s Mommy: Has your cat lost a good amount of wieght on diet food?
I have had my cat on diet food for about 8 months now and he keeps gradually loosing wieght. I’m starting to think he’s loosing to much. He was kinda fat and now he’s maybe average or below average. Do you think the food is main reason or maybe he has tape worms? Does heartworms make cats loose wieght? He never goes outside either, he is strictly an indoor cat. I can’t get an appointment until Friday. I’m a little worried.

Best answer:

Answer by Katprsn
I have had my cat on diet food for a little over a month and she has maybe lost almost one pound. I would say that if he is an indoor cat then the chances of him having heart-worm are small from what i can gather it is carried by mosquitoes, it maybe worms or it just maybe time to take him off the diet food cause he is back in fighting form! But rapid weight loss in an animal is never a good thing it can mean more serious issues are going on. I would take him in on Friday and get him checked out, as long as he is eating and drinking plenty of water he is not in an emergent state!

Q&A: What is a good diet plan for my husband & I to do together?

Question by Brandi S: What is a good diet plan for my husband & I to do together?
I would like to find a diet plan (meals & exercise) that my husband & I can do together, but is easy at the same time. He will only walk or ride bikes with me. I have the Walk A Way the Pounds DVDs and he will not do them. He also expects to have a full meal on the table every night, but agress that he should not eat that much and needs to loose some weight. I am a diabetic and could really use some support in losing at least 10 lbs. We are both in our late 20’s to early 30’s and have a daughter who is active. She could do something with us, but I need ideas.
