About the author

William Banting

1797–1878

Best known for turning his own weight-loss struggle into one of the 19th century’s most talked-about diet books, this English undertaker gave his name to “banting,” an early byword for dieting. His short, personal pamphlet helped spark a lasting public conversation about food, health, and body weight.
