Total weight loss = 25.30 kg (39% of starting weight)
Estimated total fat loss = 21633 g
Therefore, 89%of the weight lost was fat.
This is a truly spectacular result since fat mass loss has exceeded the expected loss on a high protein weight loss diet (80:20). Further, our results to date have indicated that dogs that lose a greater proportion of body weight overall, tend to lose more lean tissue; Henry has clearly bucked that trend!/
