Q. I have tried every diet book out there. So far, the only thing that's worked for me is a raw diet but I never can stick to it for long!
A. I still eat everything but in moderation and I count the calories that I take to know if I should stop eating for the day because I'm in a 1,000calorie diet, but in that everything I avoid junk foods like chips which I crave for and sweets because they have lots of calories but sometimes maybe once/twice a month its not bad to satisfy your craving, satisfy ok not to be gluttonous for a day and since dieting makes your metabolism slow I also do exercise like jumping rope.
p.s dont eat much carbs I'm Asian and one of our staple foods is rice so in a meal I ate half a rice and dont forget your water.

What are some good exercises and diet tips that can get rid of body fat in the stomach/abs area?
Q. Lately I've been trying to get rid of my excessive fat before my new job starts on Sept. 1. I've been able to tone my whole body, EXCEPT, for my stomach/abs area. What are some good exercises that target the stomach and abs area. Also, what are some foods that I should stay away from that could add fat to my stomach and abs area?
A. Sit ups will not help all they will do is work your ab muscles and create a bigger belly. You will need to burn it of by cardio exercises or running exercises. Running can be a pain you can try a stepping machine or walk your goal is to sweat as much as u can avoid carbonated drinks, avoid sodium or salt that will make you hold water in your system and make it more difficult to exercise. Just because your trying to get rid of fat doesn't mean you can't eat actually the worst thing to do is stop eating eat healthy like fruits, Veggies, and rice, beans, things like that.
What are some natural remedies and diet tips for my cat's kidney disease?
Q. My cat, 6 yrs old, could possibly have kidney failure (it might be a bladder infection but I won't find out for another 2 weeks after antibiotics); he's still energetic and doesn't show any signs of illness. Ironically I have kidney disease as well and am using natural remedies like dandelion root tea and other herbs. Wheatgrass has also improved my health a lot. I am wondering these herbs would apply to cats as well?
Does anyone have any suggestions for diet (should it be homemade)? I've been doing research and they all say low salt, but some sites say good high quality protein while others say low protein. And should I stop using the chemical Frontline (flea medicine) on my cat?
Also, where on my cat are his kidneys located?
Thanks!

A. First off...the kidneys are located just past the send of the rib cage on both sides...the right kidney is slightly closer to the front of the cat. Frontline Plus doesn't go into the animals system, so it will have no effects on the kidneys...so don't stop using it. I wouldn't reccomend any "natural remedies" without consulting your vet...cats and people can very different recations to plants...and a lot of plats can be nephrotoxic (toxic to the kidneys) in cats!
A diet wont help kidney failure until bloodwork confirms Azotemia...this means the that BUN and CREATINIE are elevated. So unless this has been confirmed by your vet, changing the diet wont help. However, if Azotemia is confirmed, then a low protein/low phospherous diet is highly recomended. The protein that is in the kidney diets is a high quality one. Several brands make kidney diets.... Purina NF, Royal Canin/IVD modified....Hill's K/D..... Royal Canin Renal LP..... However, they are by prescription only, so you have to get them from your vet. If you are interested in making your own diet, you can contact UC Davis, and for a small fee, they will formulate a diet you can cook at home specificaly for your cats needs....
I'm not sure why its going to take so long to confirm that your cat has kidney disease...a simple blood test should confirm if the kidney values are normal or not.
Good Luck!
