My target audience is anyone who reads Talk-of-The-Villages Forums and, in particular, anyone who's interested in health issues as related to high protein diets.

It would seem to me as we age we need adequate nutrition so the suggestion of a diet could well place some seniors in danger. More senior are harmed because of that fact.

It depends on what age you're talking about when you say, "as we age." And it depends on the health status of the individual. The author that was interviewed for the article didn't specify any certain age. In the article, and in his two books, he gives his opinion on what he thinks is the best way to lose weight.

Heck if one ignores all of what experts tell them was wrong what good is it for a senior to start up at this late date...the damage, if any is done. and just how much more of life and quality of life will I get with their suggestions?

I don't think this article, written by a McClatchy-Tribune reporter, was written exclusively for a retirement community such as The Villages. I assume that people of all ages are reading it, even in The Villages.

Experts advise is cyclical up and down down and up

As far as I know, the author doesn't claim to be an expert. He has a degree in physics and journalism. Basically, it seems he's following the same model as set forth by doctors
such as Atkins.
