The Dog Walkers Diet

When Sue Lundstrom hit middle age, she knew she was going to have to work harder to keep the pounds from creeping up on her.

So she grabbed a leash and took her dogs for a walk. ``Once I turned 40, I realized I needed to do a lot of walking to keep off weight,'' said Lundstrom, 45, who walks a 3-mile path in North Reading with her dogs, Bert and Thomas, five times a week.

Hill's Pet Nutrition, Inc., the makers of Science Diet® and Prescription Diet®1 sponsored the People and Pets Exercising Together (P-PET) study, a study of "the effectiveness of treatment of both overweight people and overweight pet dogs in a combined targeted program compared to focusing on people alone and pet dogs alone," and has tips for exercising together.
