Her main protein is from cottage cheese and eggs - occasionally she will get a tiny, tiny, tiny piece of fresh cooked chicken, but other than that, no bad stuff. She is not picky at all, she inhales food in a blink of an eye. Her behavior is outstanding, I think it's a combo: the food she now eats and coming out of her shy shell. But daily I am so impressed by her behavior and attitude, it makes me very happy

Now her weight....last year she weighed at the most 5.3 (maybe even 5 lbs 5 oz) - Since her diet change, she is now 4 lbs 4 ozs - I hope it is b/c of her new diet - She also does Indie 500 laps around my house at least 3x a day (she has HIGH anxiety and just goes straight into big lap mode ) So I contribute her weight loss to that as well.
