"Weight loss" was part of the exclusion criteria for all diets. How can this exclusion be possible when obesity is such an enormous problem in America, and one of the Guidelines' stated aims is to help people achieve a healthy weight?. Seriously??


Even at my advanced age, I still think writing to my representatives means something, though the only good result was having a guided tour of Congress with my family. All my previous letters about low carb, and nominations for the DGAC committee were for naught. Understanding today is Saturday, the letters to my current three reps are unanswered, but the one to Cal Cunningham, the challenger to a current senator, was obviously read and promises consideration. So you never know!
