...high-protein diet were the solution to long-term weight loss, it would not need to be reinvented every few decades. Losing weight is easy. The challenge is to achieve and maintain a healthy weight for life. This requires a commitment to physical activity and a nutritious diet that includes a wide range of foods eaten in moderation. Contrast this approach to the risks of fad diets. Rather than showcasing the insanity of magical diets, you should report on the science of health and nutrition. MARY JO FEENEY, R.D.

Because others know how to eat and when to stop. COLLEEN THOMPSON, R.D. Wallingford, Conn...
