It all started with a small booklet entitled Letter on Corpulence Addressed to the Public, not written by a dietician or a doctor, but by an undertaker named William Banting. It became one of the most famous books on obesity ever written. First published in 1863, it went into many editions and continued to be published long after the author's death. The book was revolutionary and it should have changed western medical thinking on diet for weight loss forever. http://www.karlloren.com/diet/p125.htm

Low carb dieting has been around since the 19th. century. But it was Dr. Atkins who made it famous! :grin:
