[Dailydrool] protein content and weight loss

[Valerie and John Epps]

I found that post very interesting.  I have been feeding Wellness for a long time.  Overall, I think it's the best food and I've tried them all.  I switched Penny to the Wellness reduced calorie version because she's overweight.  I have been feeding her that for a few months only to find that she gained 3 more pounds!  I've always fed a high protein diet to avoid/reduce Pano but maybe the high protein is contributing to Penny's weight gain?  I think switching to a low protein version may be the solution that I've been searching for?  Has anyone else found a link between high protein and weight gain?
