Raw Food Diet?

Can anyone tell me more about it i saw a special on Dr. OZ Files, whee they took people and fed them raw foods for 12 days and it lowerd alot of their health risks. They gave them some fruits veggies and one olive a day for the salt. I want to know how many veggies i need to eat and how many fruits i need to eat a day. And can i get any feed back from people on it or who have tried it. Would you recommend it to people who have prolems with diets? Is it pretty easy?

weight loss cardiff answers:

I’m such a fan of the raw food diet. I grew up with your typical American fare and was paying for it badly with acne, fat, lethargy, Candida, etc.
Ever since I started combining the right meals, fasting, and eating raw, I’ve become such a healthier person, I’ve lost the fat that I could never get rid of, my skin is clearer and I’m much more energetic.

You should try and get Natalia Rose’s book titled “The Raw Food Detox Diet.” She’s a nutritionist for models, celebs, and TV personalities. You can get her book at Amazon for under $12, so it’s not that pricey.

I totally recommend going raw for anyone struggling with weight issues, food issues, overeating, acne and unhealthy people. It’s easy because you can still eat and you’re not starving or depriving yourself from foods.
Good thing about Natalia’s book is that you can still eat cooked foods, but she recommends to try and do it once a day only – preferably dinner time. So eat raw food in the morning and lunch time – snacks throughout the day are raw too.

Lizzie asks…

A good diet cat food?

My two year old Bombay cat is starting to look fat. Does anyone know a good diet cat food?

weight loss cardiff answers:

If you are feeding a good diet, the problem will usually sort itself out.

Stay away from dry food. Not only it is loaded with carbs, contributing to obesity and diabetes, there are many other health issues that have been linked to dry food, like urinary tract obstructions and renal failure.

Feed all wet diet, high quality. Learn to read the labels. Look for grain free cans that list muscle meat as a fisrt ingredient and contain no byproduct. Good brands are Wellness Core, EVO, Merrick etc.

Learn more about cat nutrition and what they need to keep a healthy weight and avoid health problems below. If you don’t like to read all of them, read at least the fisrt one, it’s very informative and helped me a lot in deciding what I wanted to feed my cat.

And yes, you may have to cut down on the food, feed it about 3 times a day smaller portions.

Best of luck!

Mandy asks…

Can crested geckos live on the diet food.?

I decided that my new pet would be a crested gecko. I was wondering if the can live on there diet food without eating insects and of coarse i would feed it chopped earthworm 2 but would those 2 foods work for my new crested geckos food.

weight loss cardiff answers:

Crested Gecko Diet (CGD) is perfect for them. It’s formulated to provide all the vitamins and nutrients they need to thrive. This should be the main diet offered to them.

They do love to hunt though, so it would be beneficial to offer live food a couple times a month. It will help keep your crestie active and will stimulate the natural hunting instinct that they possess. Crickets would be your best option when offering live prey, but they will readily eat worms as well. Don’t offer worms too often though, as most worms have very little nutritional value and are high in fat. Think of worms as an occasional snack.

Baby food is also great as an occasional treat. I suggest when feeding baby food, to hand feed it to them. This is the perfect opportunity to bond with your crestie and earn its trust. Keep in mind that the baby food should be a tropical fruit such as bananas, peaches or mango.

Hope that helps. Very cool choice too!

Robert asks…

Best affordable diet cat food?

My cat is really over weight, we feed him maybe 2/3rd cups 2 times a day. I try to play with him daily but he plays for about 10 minutes then he doesn’t seem interested anymore lol. What is the best diet food i can get without a prescription?

weight loss cardiff answers:

The best food you can feed him is a species appropriate diet. He is a carnivore, so he needs meat as the primary ingredient in his food. Look at what you are feeding him and my guess is the first ingredient is corn. And you don’t need the ‘prescription’ diets. They cost a fortune and are not any healthier for kitty, just healthier for the vet’s bank account.

The best sources of meat is in wet food. Even the worse wet food is better than the best of the dry foods. And since kitties are not big water drinkers, the wet food gives him the added moisture to keep his system moving.

Here is a good website about cat nutrition written by a veterinarian. It is in plain language so you don’t need any medical knowledge to understand the information. Here is the link to the obesity section: http://catinfo.org/#Obesity.

Purrs to you and kitty.

Richard asks…

what foods to eat for dieting?

can some one help with like a diet plan to help my fitness

weight loss cardiff answers:

Good dieting foods for mealtime:

Soup and a salad. These are very good diet foods. A serving of soup (about half a can) has about 100 calories. Add a salad and you’ll have a complete meal. A cup of lettuce only contains 10 calories and other veggies are low in calories too, so you can really load up your salad. Add a sprinkle of shredded cheese or a chopped hard boil egg for some protein and a little fat to help you feel full longer. Look for sugar free or low carb dressing.
Turkey sandwich. The turkey and the bread will total about 215 calories. Add all the veggies you want. If you like mayo, look for the lite kind.
Chicken breast. Remove all the skin and bake in your oven. A 3-oz. Chicken breast (about the size of a deck of cards) has about 140 calories. Add a salad and/or cooked veggies on the side.
When dieting good foods to eat include snacks. Snacking between meals will prevent you from being so hungry you pig out at dinner.
Good diet foods you can eat as snacks between meals:

Raw vegetables such as carrot and celery sticks, cucumber, broccoli, and slices of red and green peppers, along with a fat free dip or fat free ranch dressing if you like.
Popcorn. A cup of lite microwave popcorn only has about 20 calories, so you can eat a lot.
Low-fat yogurt. A single serving container usually has bout 80 calories. To make a meal of it, add half a cup of granola. This will make it about 200 calories, not bad for breakfast!
A piece of fresh fruit.
A piece of string cheese.
There are plenty of other good dieting foods. Brands like Healthy Choice and Weight Watchers make frozen microwave meals and even make deserts that are tasty and are also good diet foods.
Good dieting foods can be supplemented with a multi-vitamin and mineral pill taken daily.

Drink three cups of green tea everyday eat green apples

William asks…

i wanna go on a diet but im 13 and im over weight im 170 lbs.
i know im fat…but i wanna try how diet food is for free and i want it to have free shipping.

weight loss cardiff answers:

You cant order diet food to your house for the rest of your life. Learn about healthy foods, healthy portion sizes and join sports. If you dont like school sports then take up biking.

There are GROWN UPS who can’t even do what I’m telling you. If you learn this now your life will be so much better.

Plus cooking at home is FUN!

Paul asks…

How can I manage my diet/food, because I’m always hungry?

I don’t have food in my house on a consistent basis, so when I DO get food, I tend to gobble it up right away, leading me, in the long run, to spend more on food than I’d like to.

Any ideas on how to better balance my diet/food?
I guess I dont have food in my house regularly because I don’t have money to/don’t like spending money on food.

weight loss cardiff answers:

Puke. That’s all i can say

Chris asks…

What is the best diet cat food?

I’m going to adopt a cat who is REALLY fat, and I’m looking for a very effective diet food to feed her.
She loves to lay at peoples feet, especially mine ><

It'd make playing with her a lot easier.

weight loss cardiff answers:

Quality foods don’t have the word “diet” on the bag because they don’t have anything in them that will make a cat fat. Don’t buy “diet” foods.

Feed this cat a food with MEAT as the main ingredient and little to no grain. Some excellent brands include Innova Evo, Petcurean Go! Natural, Blue Buffalo Wilderness. All three of these are 50% meat protein and ZERO grain. Also give the cat quality canned food made with chicken, turkey or duck daily. In fact, you may want to feed JUST canned at first.

Until chubby cat’s down to a healthy weight don’t free freed him – just put a very small handful of dry food out twice a day and split one of the tiny cans of food into two or three servings. Then once he’s slimmed up a bit you can leave the healthy dry food out. Even if he grazes during the day on it it won’t pack on the pounds like the cheap dry foods that are made mostly of corn. My Persian’s been eating these foods for the past three years and his weight is always the same – 10.9 pounds. And he nibbles a bit all day long.

Get toys that you can wave and he can chase. NOT a laser pointer – those are VERY frustrating for cats as its prey they can never catch. Get “lure” toys with a pole, string and toy on the end. Tinsel/feather wands are great, too. Not only will playing with him daily give him much-needed exercise but it’ll bond him to you.

Do have a vet check him out as soon as you get him. Obesity can lead to a myriad of health issues including diabetes, arthritis, heart problems, kidney problems, etc.

James asks…

When a kitty is roly poly, how can you get them to eat that diet food?

sometimes cats can be sooo difficult, refusing to eat their prescription diet food. How can we make it more enticing?

weight loss cardiff answers:

It is one of those things that cats do. Your roly poly kitty is spoiled. Ofcourse your kitty is waiting for the good stuff. When he is ready, he’ll eat.

If you are really worried. Perhaps mix some of the old with the new. Until he gets use to it.

David asks…

What is the most favorite tastiest kidney diet cat food that cats will eat and where can I buy it immediately?

My cat refuses to eat the canned kidney diet food that
the vet sells and I am looking for alternatives

weight loss cardiff answers:

Is it k/d? Cause I know A LOT of cats that refuse to eat k/d. There are definitely a few renal diets out there (Purina makes one, Eukanuba makes one – check out felinecrf.com for tons of info) but I recommend Royal Canin Modified Formula. Until about two weeks ago I could have honestly said that I never knew a cat that turned it down, but of course there had to be that one who would make me not be able to ever say that again. But not much can be said for her taste as she chose to eat the k/d over this magical food. Seriously, that’s what we call it at my practice, “Magical Modified” because (almost) every cat will eat it. It has mackerel in it which I think the cats can really taste and LOVE. Plus, you can always add a little chicken broth to any canned food to increase water intake and make the food a little tastier for our finicky friends.
I prefer most Royal Canin therapeutic diets over the Hill’s RX diets anyway. I think they are much more palatable and have higher quality ingredients with less by-products and preservatives. I actually have my cats on the Calorie Control diet.
OK, I’ll stop going on about the RC therapeutic foods, but seriously, try it! You don’t need a prescription for it like you do for the Hill’s foods but you do have to buy it from a veterinarian. If your vet doesn’t carry it, call around to other vets in the area or call Royal Canin and ask them where the closet place is where you can buy their products. (800) 592-6687. If there is a bigger emergency hospital in your area they should carry it. I don’t know where you live so I can’t really help you out with that part, but good luck and I hope she likes it!
Http://www.royalcanin.us/products/productdetail.aspx?ID=104

Oh, there is also another Royal Canin renal diet called LP but I don’t think that goes over any better than the k/d chicken as far as flavor. But it does come in pouches so it’s more of the chunks and gravy deal than the regular mushy food so if your cat is into that sort of thing, they may prefer LP & you might want to try that.
