From both an historical perspective and a health perspective, this book is a marvel. It proves there is nothing new under the sun (just a greater understanding of those things). Anyone with an in interest in food history, diet history, or diets in general, should have this on their shelf.

very entertaining with a style of writing you'll love~
FULL of valuable info, highly recommend, A+++

Before I read Mr. Banting's book, I had serious problems with corpulence. I was so corpulent, I could barely fit in the washtub. Once, on a humorous occasion, I was actually trapped in the washtub as a result of my corpulence. Many of my friends were once corpulent, but found solace in Mr. Banting's wonderful book.

One particular woman, a parishoner at my church asked me, "Pastor, how can I get rid of this unsightly corpulence?" I told her, "My lamb, when times are hard, I turn to the Good Book. But when I have issues with corpulence, I turn to what I call The Other Good Book."

Now that I have dealt with my corpulence, I can engage in several of the trends in daily society. Such as tennis, badminton, squash, and wet-t-shirt contests. Without all the extra corpulence, I stroll the sidewalks without any concern that I may be accosted by a constable for pushing people into the street with my corpulence, for lack of a better word.

Thank you Mr. Banting! To paraphrase Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., one of my skinniest heroes. I have a dream that one day my four children will live in a nation where they will not be judged by the vastness of their corpulence, but by the content of their character. Until then, Mr. Banting has given us all hope.

The worst book purchase I've ever made online! Too wordy and repetitive. Information gained was negligible. Definitely not recommended. Watch Dr. Oz for best information on weight loss.
