Ruined by Excess, Perfected by Lack: The Paradox of Pet Nutrition

Current nutrition policy gets it wrong with its emphasis on reducing fat in the diet. Why, if fat is the culprit in our diet, has fat consumption declined, yet obesity is skyrocketing, in both pets and people? Why, if fat is the reason for diet excess, does the Atkins diet cause weight loss yet allow unlimited dietary fat? Could it be that fat is not the problem? Maybe we have overlooked something.

Often, while pet owners believe they are providing the best nutrition, failure to restrict carbohydrates silently robs their pets of health and longevity.

This book explains how behaviour, both of pets and people, is a critical aspec of any proper diet.
