Mignon's Mom · 04-26-2008, 05:54 AM

Hi Everyone,

My Mignon needs to lose about 3 pounds. She is 2 1/2 years old and an official member of the Teapot Club a 10 1/2 pounds but fairly well proportioned! I think everyone suggests green beans as a great weight loss "tool", but I am not sure how much to give her. She will not eat dry food. Currently she eats 3 small meals a day (1/2 cup) - Merrick Cowboy Cookout and a bit of rice. I have a bag of frozen salt free green beans and tried her on a few bit and she seems to like them just fine.

Does anyone have suggestions on what proportions of canned food to green beans is right to achieve weight loss?

Thanks in advance!!
