Limiting carbs



Pookey is looking longingly out the window at the green grass, which is fast drying up in the hot summer sun.

Thanks to his probable insulin resistance, grass has been strictly off-limits for the past few weeks, as have grain products, Oreos, Sonic green apple slushes, alfalfa, beet pulp, molasses, peppermints, sugar cubes, etc.

Anyone who has ever suffered through a low-carb diet can relate: he is growing increasingly bored with tasteless dry hay.

In an effort to spice up his diet, and to find something to mix his supplements in, we have turned back to an old favorite: ADM's Healthy Glo Nuggets and Healthy Glo Meal. Comprised primarily of rice bran, these products are relatively low in non-structural carbohydrates (NSC) and provide most of their energy in the form of fat. The best part is, Pookey loves his rice bran, and considers it a special treat!
