Fat runs in the family
-
Biggest Loser trainer Michelle Bridges' has written recently of her humiliation over finding out her dog was overweight. She sent him off to shed some kilos and he managed to lose 5kg in five weeks. Impesssive!
"My dog's weight loss amounted to a full 20 per cent of his body weight in just five weeks," she wrote in the Sydney Mornign Herald.
"This was achieved by reducing his food intake and increasing his activity levels. No surprises there. But the lesson for me was that just as portion sizes can creep up for us humans, they can also creep up for those around us for whom we prepare food: pets."
