Customer Review: Noticed no difference.
We have a 21 pound cat, and for 3 solid months we kept him on a strict diet. The amount they recommended for his size we actually REDUCED a bit and measured it out in a measuring cup daily. He didn't even lose an ounce.
Customer Review: No weight loss noted.
I've got a hefty cat. At 14 lbs, she's definitely on the big-boned side of things. For about a year and a half we had her on this weight-control stuff, feeding her about a 1/2 cup a day as recommended on the packaging. But in that time, we haven't seen any significant weight-loss. About 6 months ago, we switched to the CostCo-brand stuff, and got lazy about measuring out her food and have just refilled her bowl when empty. Now, I suppose it's possible that the CostCo food doesn't taste very good, and that's why she eats less of it, but it seems to serve the same purpose, and it's not like she complains about it. Afterall is said and done, she's still 14 lbs. I don't want to say it doesn't work, because maybe it will for your cat, but it didn't for mine so I wouldn't expect any miracles here. Still, it did serve its primary function (the cat ate it) despite not living up to its secondary function (the cat is still fat) so, 3 stars.
