As the New Year approaches, most of us have a resolution to lose weight. After you have put your dog on a weight loss program, it is critical that you determine if it is working for your dog. In general, your dog should be weighed at least every month until the ideal weight is achieved. Each dog is an individual and may require adjustments in the recommended diet or routine before finding the correct approach. If there is no significant weight loss in one month, (3-5% of the starting body weight), then the program will need to be modified. Sometimes, making only a slight change can deliver significant improvements.
In a separate study the Cornell researchers discovered that the color of plates relative to the color of the food being served was also important. People who were served matching" dinners (like red spaghetti sauce on a red plate) took 30 percent more food than people who had contrasting dinners (like red spaghetti sauce on a white plate). The researchers say it's easier to see exactly how much food you're taking when it doesn't blend into the plate.
Humans need to obtain nutrients from foods in order to survive and be healthy. The requirements of energy and nutrients are different due to differences in race, age, sex, and physical activity level. People living in different places take nutrients from different kinds of food; therefore, nutrition is a cultural biological process rather than a simple physiological and biochemical process. Food intake can directly influence one's biological function through life, as its results are on a biological level. When people eat, the process can be influenced by economic, politics, culture, and many other factors.
