1. Obesity and diet structure: A big factor that leads to obesity in cats is the excessive intake of carbohydrates In fact, cats do not need carbohydrates in their diet, and carbohydrates are not only directly related to fat, but carbohydrates can also affect the protein levels in the diet. If your cat’s diet contains an excess of carbohydrates, this will result in a cat’s protein intake that is lower, or even lower than the cat’s protein needs. Cats’ primary sources of energy are protein and fat, and even if a cat’s diet does not contain carbohydrates, it can maintain basic energy metabolism. Since cats need a lot of protein as an energy source for metabolism, they cannot reduce protein intake during weight loss. A diet with insufficient protein content is likely to cause symptoms of muscle atrophy in cats.
2. Weight loss food will lead to muscle atrophy: Many people choose traditional weight loss for cats to lose weight Plans, such as feeding energy-restricted foods, also known as diets, such as a low-fat, low-protein, high-carb, high-fiber diet. Perhaps these dietary restrictions can help reduce the cat’s weight to some extent, but it is likely to have adverse effects on the cat’s physical health. For cats to lose weight successfully, the focus should be on reducing the amount of fat in the cat’s body while maintaining lean body mass.
3. A high-protein, low-carb diet: Feeding your cat a high-protein, low-carb diet during weight loss is the best option because of this diet Not only can the cat’s weight continue to decrease, but it also helps reduce the cat’s desire to eat uninterrupted. Because feeding canned or raw meat to cats can make cats feel fuller, this is an effect that cannot be achieved by feeding dry food.
Like weight loss for cats, it is not a simple matter, and it is not a simple matter to lose weight by dieting, but to choose a scientific and reasonable way to lose weight. If you have any other questions, you can also consult your veterinarian.
