so fiber is supposed to help with weight lossWell, i just bought this high fiber cereal, but it has 200 calories per cupwill this help with weight loss or do the opposite?
OK, here is what you need to know: The Calories in fiber are not absorbed by your bodyThere are 4 calories in each gram of carbohydratesFiber is a carbohydrate, therefore each gram of fiber contains 4 calories, NONE of which are absorbed by your bodySo look on the nutrition label, and see how many grams of fiber there areNow multiply that number by 4 (for the amount of calories in each gram)The number you get is the number of calories in the cereal that your body is NOT absorbing Example: Let's say we have a cereal with 200 calories and 10 grams of fiber per cupSo we take the 10 grams, and we multiply them by the 4 calories in each gramThat's 40 caloriesThose 40 calories won't be absorbed by your bodySO in actual fact, your body would only get 160 calories from the cereal Cool, right?!
Don't worryThey're not freaksMy mom has one that loves cherry jello, my friend has one that loves Tabasco Cheese Nips and I have one that loves cookiesI would try using a spray bottle filled with water and yelling No! That is usually a good trickCats also hate loud noises, so try clapping your hands or banging some pot lids together as a deterrent!
There is a product called Bitter Apple and I think it was originally to keep pets from chewing on them selves or excessively groomingIt comes in a spray bottle and it's really nastyTry thatKeeping them off the counter is another thing all together, you can usually train them not to get up there when you are looking at them :o) One thing that did work for one of our cats was to buy mouse traps, set them and put them upside down on the counter and put a layer of newspaper over themIt's not easy to do but you don't want them to hurt your kittyThey jump up there and the traps snap and you are no where around so they think it's really scaryWorked on one cat but another one would jump up there and sit and snap them on purpose! Good Luck
You can put the cords in PVC pipes and she won't be able to chew on themAlso pet stores sell motion sensor sprayersThey spray air or water (depending on the product) at the pet to scare it and keep it awayYou can try these two productsAlso cats don't like the feel of sticky thingsLike tape sticky side up may keep your cat off the countersOr crunched up aluminum foil, they don't like that feeling eitherBut, I think the motion sensors would work bestGood luck.
My one cat is a freak than too! lol One of mine will eat ANYTHINGplums, cantaloupe, olives, just about anythingCould you try some sort of wire cover that maybe if she chews on it, it wouldn't let her get through it to the wire?
