29. Dana Carpender Reads Letter on Corpulence The First Low-Carb Diet Book

This show, we have something a little different. This show. Features something I did not write myself that has not happened before.

But let's start with this. How old is a low-carb diet?

If you look at the traditional diets of various peoples, including the seal, fish, and Blubber diet of the Inuit, several North American native peoples who flourished on pemmican. And the African Messiah herding people who thrived on milk, meat, and cows blood.

Very old indeed. But how about low-carb diet books?

So far as I know, the oldest in the English language at least, is Banting's Letter on Corpulence. Having lost weight and dramatically improved his health on a low-carbohydrate diet. Banting wrote and self-published the book back in the mid-Victorian era, and he distributed it for free.

By the third printing, he had distributed 63,000 copies and banting have become synonymous with dieting. So here it is, Banting's Letter on Corpulence.
