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.

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
