William Banting

Over de Auteur

William Banting was an English undertaker and a pioneer in the field of dietary science. He is best known for his book, "Letter on Corpulence, Addressed to the Public," published in 1863, where he detailed his personal struggles with obesity and the dietary regimen that helped him lose weight. Banting's method emphasized a low-carbohydrate diet, which was revolutionary at the time. His approach laid the groundwork for modern low-carb diets, and his name has since become synonymous with weight loss and dieting.
