just interesting tidbit, seems this fellow "discovered" low carb solutions long before Dr. Atkins

  the 1860's William Banting found himself corpulent(obese). After paying many 
  physicians, he tried many remedies and methods to lose weight. None helped. 
  Until he happened on one physician who told him about the things which he should 
  avoid eating. Banting followed the advice and lost a lot of weight.</B></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.bantingdiet.com/index.htm"><P align="left"><FONT face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#000000" size="2"><B>
Being very pleased with the results, he wanted to reach the public with his 
  simple weight loss method so he published several editions of the<A href="http://www.bantingdiet.com/Letter%20on%20Corpulence.pdf"> 
  Letter on Corpulence</A>. At the time this was the latest craze in England. 
  Eventually it became forgotten. During the sixties Dr. Atkins heard about it 
  and produced a low carbohydrate diet book on the subject. </B></FONT></P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.bantingdiet.com/index.htm"><B> 
  Although one can give credit to physicians of the day, most of the credit belongs 
  to Banting for proving , documenting and making public the Low Carbohydrate 
  Diet at his own expense. And following his example I am trying to do the same 
  by making his letter available on this web site</B></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/640F4651-9030-4A69-B36B-A4436F06F28A/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
