    My dogs eat what I eat. Grain, meat, veggies. So I guess they are on the "people food diet". It looks a little better on them than it does on me....

    Is this serious? :ohwell:

    I have heard of the baby food diet, sounds more tasty than dog food tbh... Or just eat healthy normal food?

    Oooh! I love these crazy get skinny quick schemes.

    I'd say go for it. BUT if you do... make sure you account for all those calories in your chapstick & lip gloss, too!!!

    Has anyone had any success losing weight and eating their dog's food? The macros are broken down pretty good.

    I think eating dog food would be worse than mcdonalds. Have you read the crap in dog food? "chicken BY PRODUCT" "corn" NO WAY. I have 4 dogs and while i dont have tons of money in the world, i do feed them the best food i can afford with by product and corn in it....yuck!

    What? You can't afford better food for your dog... just feed your dog what you eat! silly. Or buy cheaper cuts of meat and bones from your butcher. Better yet, go shoot a deer once in awhile, or catch some fish! Dogs are omnivores, like us, and are perfectly capable of eating fresh (and raw) food. Corn and by-products? Not for me or my dogs.

    Oh sure, go shoot a deer...That sounds like a lovely brave thing to do. Go shoot a gorgeous, majestic, fabulous, unarmed deer, mutilate it and feed it to the animal you do care about. Appalling.

    We feed our dog very high quality, human-grade food, but still, NO.

    One of my neighbors growing up (she was 8 or 9 at the time) used to come over and eat food out of both our dog's and cat's bowl. Just so gross. It was many years later that I learned that one of the major flavoring agents in dog food is rendered grease from those dumpster than sit out behind restaurants. Wrong in so many ways...

    I always wondered why we had to save that grease when i worked in fast food.... hmm.... :noway:

    I just subtract six pounds everytime I get on the scale as the "six pounds of lipstick ingested by women."

    I hear if you stay on this diet too long you will start barking when you try to talk.

    No I haven't tried it. But last year some of my Nutrisystems entrees could pass for dog food... Only just a select few of those. My husband did eat a dog treat cookie once. The Petsco dog-bakery-bar has a pretty nice carob chip cookie. They smell just like a real chips ahoy.. And Brent ate at least half of the cookie. Said it was good. :laugh:

    I really hope this is a sarastic / joke thread.

    The thought of eating my dogs food makes me feel ill! Doggy on the other hand, he loves the stuff!!

    I use to feed my sister cat food when she was little, told her it was candy.... But she's always managed to stay relatively slim so I guess the jokes on me...

    ARE YOU TROLOLOLING?
  • Yes, actually. I believe the way it works is to keep dry kibble in your pockets and eat a bit whenever you get hungry? Unfortunately, I ended up in the hospital doing this.

    ...Then again, I was too busy sitting on the side of the road licking my own *kitten* to notice the car coming.


    Come on, really? I'm sorry to be so judgmental, but there's PLENTY of healthy food out there that you can lose weight while eating. DOG food is meant for DOGS, not people.

    My thoughts exactly!

    I would try it, but then I'd have to also eat the crap my younger dog eats...... literally. She eats the crap of the older one.....as it's still coming out. Nothing beats freshness...... must be something more in it when it comes through one dog into the other?


    Try it let me know how you go.

    I just vomited in my mouth a little.

    Similarly I ended up having no problems with swiping my dogs milkbones and eating them as a kid. They tasted interesting and were very dry but fun to eat. I stopped though once I found animal hair in them (think horse hair) and began to question just WHAT went into making those...

    Apparently it's rat hair according to one of the other MFP'ers. :happy:

    FYI: Pupperoni does NOT taste like pepperoni in any way, shape or form.

    I wonder if anyone taste tests dog treats?

    Does someone taste the product until it supposedly tastes like pepperoni? Or do they say "it looks like a pepperoni therefore we'll just say it tastes like one, and no one will know the difference"?

    Until some warped person tastes it and goes WTF? :bigsmile:
