A process is provided for limiting weight gain in cats. The process includes feeding the cat a pet food composition that includes a source of protein, a source of fat, and a source of carbohydrates from a grain source that excludes rice. Use of the preferred low glycemic index grain sources that comprise a blend of corn and sorghum; a blend of corn, sorghum, and barley; or a blend of corn, soghum, and oats, has the effect of decreasing the postprandial blood glucose and insulin response of the cat as compared to when feeding a rice- based diet. The result is that the animal becomes satiated and voluntarily decreases its intake of food, causing less weight gain. This effect is even more marked when the composition is fed to male cats.

L'invention concerne un procédé permettant de limiter la prise de poids chez les chats. Ce procédé consiste à donner au chat une composition alimentaire contenant une source de protéine, une source de lipides et une source de glucides à grains, à l'exception du riz. L'utilisation de sources à grains préférées à faible indice glycémique comprenant un mélange de maïs et de sorgho; un mélange de maïs, de sorgho et d'orge; ou encore, un mélange de maïs, de sorgho et d'avoine, a pour effet de réduire la réponse à l'insuline et le taux de glucose sanguin postprandial du chat, en comparaison à un régime à base de riz. Ainsi, l'animal est vite repu et réduit volontairement sa ration alimentaire, ce qui a pour effet de limiter sa prise de poids. Cet effet est encore plus marqué lorsque ce sont des chats mâles qui sont nourris avec cette composition.
