He did tell me to cut back to 1/4 cup twice a day each, and to add fresh carrots and green beans if they still seem hungry. They are low calorie fillers.
Joey vet told me to cut his food by 1/3 and add about 5 green beans, this allowed him to lose 1 ounce a week until all his extra weight was gone. There is some research that shows carrots can increase hunger because it raises blood sugar, so choosing foods low on the glycemic index scale can help manage hunger.
