Guest guest Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 WILLIAM BANTING: http://www.second-opinions.co.uk/banting.html There seems to be a general belief that the rash of low-carbohydrate, high-fat diets are 'new' or 'revolutionary' in some way. Popular books certainly give that impression. But nothing could be further from the truth. I started eating a low-carbohydrate diet in 1962 when a doctor advised me that this the best way to lose weight. You may also think that these 'new' low-carbohydrate regimes have been pioneered by far-seeing and learned medical men. Again, this is incorrect. The truth is that we would probably never have heard of diets where people could lose weight eating that most calorific of foods, fat, if it had not been for a 19th century English carpenter by the name of William Banting. A very interesting article, worth reading I believe............ Clare in Tasmania Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
