Diet food (or dietetic food) refers to any food or drink whose recipe has been altered in some way to make it part of a body modification diet. Although the usual intention is weight loss and change in body type, sometimes the intention is to aid in gaining weight or muscle as in bodybuilding supplements.

Terminology

In addition to diet other words or phrases are used to identify and describe these foods including light or lite, low calorie, low fat, no fat, fat free, no sugar, sugar free, and zero calorie. In some areas use of these terms may be regulated by law. For example in the U.S. a product labeled low fat must not contain more than 3 grams of fat per serving; and to be labeled fat free it must contain less than 0.5 grams of fat per serving.

Process

The process of making a diet version of a food usually requires finding an acceptable low calorie substitute for some high calorie ingredient. This can be as simple as replacing some or all of the food's sugar with a sugar substitute as is common with diet soft drinks such as Coca-Cola (for example Diet Coke). In some snacks, the food may be baked instead of fried thus reducing the calories. In other cases, low fat ingredients may be used as replacements.

In whole grain foods, the higher fiber content effectively displaces some of the starch component of the flour. Since certain fibers have no calories, this results in a modest caloric reduction. Another technique relies on the intentional addition of other reduced-calorie ingredients, such as resistant starch or dietary fiber, to replace part of the flour and achieve a more significant caloric reduction.

can i feed my overweight cat chicken and turkey in addition to her diet food?
Q. my cat is overweight. a lot. i have a prescription can food for her. since cats do better with protien based diets, i ws wondering if i could give her cooked chicken and/or turkey once in awhile in place of her canned food.

A. You should be able to do that and I'm sure your cat will love you for it. Not sure why we're supposed to question ourselves when we want to feed our cats raw when that's what they naturally do if given a choice. The pet food makers have NOT outsmarted Mother Nature.

When doing the raw food diet is working out necessary?
Q. I am starting a raw food diet and while I know that exercise is always good to add on I have NO time to do it in my day! Its really horrible. My question is, while the calories I am taking in are from healthy superfoods, veggies etc, the amount is huge right? So my question is if I don't exercise while on a raw food diet will I still lose weight?
Asked by Bo Harper - Fri Aug 28 12:41:48 2009 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments

A. If you have enough time to browse Yahoo! Answers, then you have enough time to exercise. I'm sick and tired of people complaining that they have no time. At one point in my life, I was exercising 17 times a week. I ate 6 large meals a day, all of them homemade. I was also a full-time college student working 30-60 hours per week! I made time because it was important to me. So, if you like the idea of being weak as a kitten and flabby as hell, then try to lose weight with diet alone.

Is anyone familiar with "healthy powder" for cats as part of a raw food diet?
Q. I am planning to switch my cats to a raw food diet. one of my cats has severe allergies (32 of them to be exact). I have done some extensive reading about the raw diet and it says to add healthy power to each meal. There are many ingredients in this mixture, one of which is yeast. My cat is allergic to yeast so I cannot include this in the mixture. Is there something else I can use that has the same nutritional value? Or is it ok to simply omit it from the recipe without causing any kind of nutritional deficiency?

A. Check out: I use that supplement powder and salmon oil with my cats raw meat and have done so for eight years. There is no yeast in it.
