My diet cat is always starving and eating everything. Is she ill?

Question

I have an overweight cat that my vet suggested a diet for. I have been following the diet, however, she acts like she is starving and will break into the food bag and our dogs food bag and will eat anything she can get her paws on. Could there be something else wrong with her? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 1 year and 2 months old | 11 lbs

Some cats have voracious appetites and although possible medical causes such as diabetes and hyperthyroidism would be quite rare in such a young cat. I recommend using a specialised diet such as hills metabolic or royal canin satiety fed in small meals frequently or better still using a puzzle feeder or treat ball to stimulate normal hunting instincts and both mental and physical stimulation.
