WilliamBanting_LetterOnCorpulence1864

This astonishing publication is well ahead of it's time. Dr. William Banting, a notable English undertaker published his story in 1860 on how he beat obesity in a way that sounds very familiar if you are following my blogs.

Well before the Atkin's Diet, Jenny Craig, Weightwatchers and any other "diet" that has been published in the last fifty years, over one hundred and fifty years ago this man's story has somehow been lost in medical and dietary history.

Over to you Mr. Banting. I salute you.

"Stay strong"
